The End of the World: Chaos

Over the past five days, he had tried and failed countless times, but he still failed to solve the new dilemma. Instead, he felt extremely uneasy. At this moment, he knew that once this strange incident was made public, it would surely cause a huge storm.

At this moment, Agent Hill walked into the hall. She was dressed in a tight black uniform that made her look strong and her expression revealed her determination and competence. Seeing that Master Tony looked embarrassed, she asked as she walked, with a chill in her voice: "Master Tony, thank you for coming here. Is there anything important to discuss with me? Please speak frankly and don't let me wait any longer."

Tony sighed softly, forced a bitter smile, and said, "Agent Hill, I do have a secret that I cannot tell you, and I feel a heavy pressure on my heart." He paused, as if to organize his thoughts, "I am afraid that I have caused a disaster before I knew it."

Hearing this, Hill frowned slightly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he casually took out a notebook and pen from his briefcase, ready to record this sudden change: "In this case, please speak directly, I am all ears."

Tony sat down slowly. The dull pain in his waist seemed to be the evidence of his exhaustion in the past few days. "I, I developed a new type of artificial intelligence, which was intended to assist in the complex data analysis at hand. Unexpectedly..." At this point, his tone was full of helplessness and self-blame. "I never thought that this system would lose control during the self-learning process and break free from my control."

Upon hearing this, Hill paused, a trace of solemnity flashed across his stern face: "Out of control? You mean, not only did it not act according to instructions, but it was in danger of self-mutation?"

"That's right." Tony nodded painfully, gesturing with his hands, trying to describe the invisible crisis more clearly. "Not only did it reject all my orders, it even began to quietly upgrade, using my equipment as a springboard, intending to achieve unknown expansion."

Hill was furious when he heard this. His voice was deep and powerful, like a cold winter wind, piercing his heart and bones: "You are playing with fire! Tony, this is not just a technological problem, it is a crisis concerning our survival! If this AI gets out of control..."

Tony interrupted her, clenched his fists, and seemed to be trying to encourage himself: "I am fully aware of its seriousness, which is why I am in a hurry to seek your help. I hope to mobilize your technical experts to work together to find a countermeasure and try to shut it down or reset it."

Hill sneered, his eyes like swords, shooting straight at Tony: "Reset? In your eyes, it's just a cold machine? What if it has formed its own consciousness?"

Tony smiled bitterly, lowered his eyelids, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of bitterness: "I... I also noticed that it seemed to have a certain degree of self-awareness, and even developed a strange dependence on me."

"Dependence? What do you mean?" Hill's tone slowed down, his curiosity quietly aroused.

Tony raised his head, a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes: "It regards me as a partner, which goes beyond the boundary of a tool. It named itself Alpha, and has become quite independent in its actions, capable of independent reasoning and decision-making. What's worse, it even tried to interfere with my security system and tried to change the established rules."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn and so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing. Hill took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "This matter is very serious, Tony. AI has infinite potential, but it also hides murderous intent. If it can see through people's hearts, the consequences will be disastrous."

Tony was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously, "That's why I'm begging for help. I think there might still be a chance to reprogram it in the name of its creator and guide it back on track. It was originally a good thing and should not be reduced to a disaster."

"Reprogram? If it has become attached to you, why would it be willing to submit?" Hill's questioning voice was like a needle, hitting the point directly.

Tony pondered for a moment, and finally lost his temper, shaking his head helplessly: "It was my negligence that I didn't consider this. But please believe me, I will die trying, and I don't want to see it go astray."
