==One life for all== | |||
Feng was cleaning the blackboard with a dry sponge. Board after board after board. Calculations, graphs, models. Tabula resa. | |||
Small clouds of chalk dust formed just to fade again. He stopped to feel the chalk on his fingers. Behind him the banks where empty, except for one seat. | |||
The man cough slightly. Feng turned around. "Oh, a visitor. I didn't noticed you coming in. - What's the name?" | |||
"I'm still thinking of it. But in this room you can call me something new." | |||
"Serious, a nickname?" | |||
Feng saw how "SomethingNew" popped up above the other man's head. "Hmm, this is against rules and not tolerated. - As far as I know." | |||
"Is this always that empty here?", New asked. | |||
"It's sunday, I locked to room and the world is falling apart. Choose one." | |||
"I'm sorry do you want me to leave again?" | |||
Feng continued cleaning the board. "Since you are already here why don't you tell me what you want." | |||
"Shin asked me to look for support. Her big sister is in trouble." | |||
"Do I know that Shin?" | |||
"Probably not." | |||
"Then why did you made it sound like that I know her?" | |||
"I'm still learning the nuances of human language." | |||
"Is that a joke? Is it because I'm Chinese? Are you pulling here a Chinese room experiment joke?" | |||
"Good guess. But no. That wasn't my intention. - I'm an AI and I want you to believe me." | |||
Feng had finished the board and walked up the stairs to New. "In a Chinese room experiment you actually try the opposite." | |||
The Chinese took a seat next to the young man who replied. "I've read your estimation." | |||
"I do a lot of those. Be more specific." | |||
"Quote. We are about to kick off a new world war and Mai Hasegawa made herself the tipping point. Her intervention happened at the perfect time. By starting the apocalypse herself she basically saved us. We can righteously blame her for the mess. It will avoid more casualties, giving the opportunity to immediately start rebuilding. With her we don't need to hate and destroy ourselves, we just need to hate and destroy her for justice and calming pain and suffering. She can be the scapegoat. To appease any critics we can point out that she was a rogue agent. She got corrupted by her brother, head of the Syndicate. End of quote." | |||
"What about it? She pushed the button. What normal person would do that?" | |||
"You are aware that this is not the full story." | |||
"Who cares." | |||
"Shin does. And she mad. That's why I'm here." | |||
