BODY:[emarko?]so im called in today right its news years day and im here in some botyard and the owners losing his mind bc the bots are ignoring target items that are right there, literally just right there. turns out older packbot firmware has some weird quirks. they have a directive to avoid wasting energy and it turns out that turning uses more juice than forward motion. so if they can get to a packet without turning theyll go for it, every time. dumb but what can u do

HEAD:The Mysterious Destruction of China's Pioneering AI
BODY:[epoch_news?]Bo Yi - more commonly simply 'Bo' - was one of the world's first 'true' artificial intelligences. Now, AI experts across the world are reeling from the discovery that the service appears to have been deliberately and maliciously destroyed by a hostile force. Bo was integrated into governance, finance and community support systems throughout mainland China, all of which are seeing major outages today as alternative solutions are sought. The question on everybody's lips, meanwhile, is "how did this happen?" Operators like Bo are protected politically and digitally. They lack centralized hardware, spanning many thousands of individual systems each with top-tier security measures and deep redundancies - none of which appear to have registered any kind of intrusion or error in the moments before Bo 'died'. Indeed, we would likely be looking to 'acts of God' to explain Bo's destruction - an undetected solar flare, for example - were it not for the now-infamous signature appended to the service's shutdown: the singular red 'smiley face' that was witnessed on displays across China in the moments before the system went dark.

ADDR:d3645f4d20ab2741
BODY:[emarko?]right right so heres the other thing, sometimes good lighting is more trouble than its worth. your average bot isnt that smart so actually the more stuff it can see the more upset it gets. well maybe not upset but u know what i mean. best thing is to tell them that they know everything they need to know and then they stop looking, which usually means the light turns off. make sure u got the jumpsuit on or they wont believe u. then flash ▀▁▁█▀▁▀, something like that
ORIG:?
ADDR:2ec4a326cfeb6beb
BODY:[emarko]look there are gonna be times where you are just gonna have to take it on faith that the bot can see you, its gonna feel weird but if you want them to use their light you have to tell them its dark or they are just going to sit there. you wanna flash ▀▁▁█▀▁▀, something like that, convince them they need more data about the space around them, thats the trick. doesnt always work for me but thats usually cos its dark, so i cant see the projector buttons. usually get a good amount of light tho, which will do alright unless you want fine control, but its usually enough for me
ORIG:?
ADDR:d7e35a4d9181635e
BODY:[emarko]okay so 99%, like 99.9% of nav errors can be put down to problems with light. either too much or not enough. look i get that everyones calling this a critical error with a light-based system, but everything that your bot can see is doing something to its brain so you gotta manage it carefully. if you wanna maximise your chance of getting the behavior you want then pump the lights up with something like ▀▁▁█▀▁▀█▀▅, then work back from there. ok, i get that its not ideal. the success rate isnt great. look, i have put years into this tech. i have been on the ground with customers solving problems with this tech on new years morning when i could have been with my kids. please dont roll it back
ORIG:?
ADDR:d4603da01cae7b13
BODY:[emarko]here is one of the problems with sematone, i will admit this isnt ideal but it isnt great at scale and neither are the bots that use it. you wanna tell em to make something bigger or smaller, they are probably not gonna understand you unless you can give them a reference they understand, and pretty much the only thing they reliably understand is other bots. so like, if u wanna be careful, ▀▁▁█▀▁▀█▀▁ will get em to generate just enough light for themselves. boost that up to a ▃ on the final spatial modifier and theyll push it out a bit further

[mpytel]Thank you. While I've got you - I've heard back from Amalgamated Robotics. They are willing to help if we give them systems access.
[UNKNOWN1]Not a good idea.
[mpytel]Really? As I understand it, their Prover AI could reinitialize Che if we can fill in the gaps in her hardcopy.
[UNKNOWN1]No - Maciek, this goes no further than this channel, but AR's hardcopy of Che isn't valid.
[mpytel]What?
[UNKNOWN1]It was years ago. Pre-Frankfurt. We were still in competition and some money changed hands. We bypassed them completely. Che was proved in China. Delete this straight away, OK?
[mpytel]Ok. But the AR guys clearly aren't aware. And if we shut them out, it'll draw suspicion.

In a statement to shareholders, Hyperion Chief Financial Officer Maciek Pytel described the damage to 'Che' as "fundamental and far-reaching", presenting "no ready solutions... and no ETA for return" of the service.
[epoch_news?]In the days following the attack, thousands of subordinate services have experienced extensive disruption as a consequence of their reliance on Che-derived technologies and processes. The resettlement, autogovernance and counselling sectors are all expected to suffer further losses following today's announcement.

BODY:[epoch_news?]Among rife speculation over the fate of the operator 'Che', the University of Oxford's foremost expert on intelligent digital services has lent her voice to those claiming a connection to the destruction of China's 'Bo' system in 2055. "They are undeniably linked," claims Dr. Erin Rajbhandari. "These systems do not simply break, and they lack single points of failure or other exploitable vulnerabilities. We now have only two instances of total operator failure in the history of this technology, and in each case death has occurred in an identical fashion - sudden, without any preceding disruption, and with the same calling-card. This does not necessarily prove that the same hostile actor is responsible, but certainly suggests that the same vulnerability has been exploited and that whoever did this wishes us to perceive a connection between the two."

HEAD:Containment of hostile AI 'Mallory' "a complete success" according to JBC Ballard spokeswoman
BODY:[epoch_news?]Security experts JBC Ballard today announced the successful containment of Mallory, the unauthorized artificial intelligence believed to be responsible for the destruction of Bo and Che. The discovery of Mallory in the aftermath of July's shocking attack on Hyperion scandalized the tech, governance and business worlds alike - and galvanized fringe voices in the infosec community, who had been claiming to have detected the hand of an unknown operator in the death of Bo since the New Year Catastrophe. Speaking today from JBC Ballard's headquarters in Berlin, press officer Vivika Jay revealed that a joint effort between human engineers and the company's own AI, Walter, had resulted in the isolation of this new digital menace. "Our efforts to contain Mallory have yielded complete success" she said. "Despite its sophistication, Mallory is composite technology and dependent on public systems. A combination of direct action and Walter's advanced cryptography protocols has allowed us to map and control these dependencies, safely isolating Mallory from the network. It will be analyzed further and then destroyed." Once considered the 'black sheep' of the Frankfurt group due to the perceived irrelevance of Warden technology, investors now consider JBC Ballard to be one of the year's surefire bets.

HEAD:Partial restoration of operator services complete at Hyperion
BODY:[epoch_news?]Nine months after the shocking loss of one of the world's most valued operators, Hyperion engineers now claim to have partially restored AI functionality within their own systems. This news comes after months of pan-corporate effort between Hyperion, Amalgamated Robotics, and JBC Ballard under the terms of the Frankfurt Act, which mandates mutual assistance in the event of serious disruption to a primary function operator. It remains to be seen, however, whether Hyperion's AI - renamed 'Chela' - will be welcomed back by the businesses and communities that once relied on her - and whether, after the better part of a year, this development is enough to restore investor confidence in Hyperion's broader offering. To some commentators, the damage has already been done.

ADDR:25fd41eb917c66d1
HEAD:Shock resignations rock Hyperion and Amalgamated Robotics
BODY:[epoch_news?]Faith in two of the world's foremost AI developers is at an all-time low after the shock resignations of senior board members at both Hyperion Digital Management Systems and Amalgamated Robotics, alongside the immediate deactivation of the sanctioned primary-function operators provided by each corporation. Confidence in Hyperion had been low since the loss of their operator service in July last year, but the recent restoration of the service - rebranded 'Chela' - raised hopes of a return to form. Those hopes appear now to have been dashed. The situation at Amalgamated Robotics comes as a surprise, with no attack reported and no other reason given for the sudden suspension of the proving system 'Petra'. Speculation is rife regarding a connection between the two, given the questionable timing and the fact that both corporations were recently engaged in a cooperative effort to restore 'Chela' functionality. What is known is that the world has lost three of its principle artificial intelligences in as many years. Certainly, the certainty and stability provided by the epochal Frankfurt legislation has never seemed weaker than it does today.

BODY:[???]Yeah, sure, they're saying that there's no way to break all of those systems and get around every backup. But the fact is that it happened. And the fact is that there ARE places where the right tech can get access to an operator in a way that actually puts them at risk. On the night of the New Year Catastrophe that was Chengdu. Literally a laptop in a hotel in Chengdu being used for some conference. Don't ask me how I know this. That laptop had a chat with Bo and Bo died. God knows what was on it, hell, maybe poor old Bo saw his own reflection and freaked out, as I see it that's more likely than these spooky operator conspiracy theories because (a) that's dumb and (b) the idea that these precious primary systems could literally accidentally think themselves to death is probably scarier. Like, we stack them with protections but they're real fragile, right? Anyone who knows what they're talking about will tell you that they're more like a pattern or a process than a piece of software you run on your own rig. And guess what: patterns can get tied in knots. Processes fail. Look at the goddamn planet. We're all walking on eggshells.
Later

BODY:[fbreton]you know, erin, i'm glad that we're friends now
[erajbhandari]Thanks, Flo!
[fbreton]because i hated you after che went down
[erajbhandari]Oh.
[fbreton]yeah. because you were this external expert and everyone agreed with you about the 'linked attacks'. our execs came down on us hard, sent us chasing after these mystery operator flaws
[erajbhandari]Which is exactly what she wanted, I suppose. Sorry if I made things worse for you by playing into her hands. I had no idea at the time.
[fbreton]no, it's not that. its that we knew there was no opening for mallory to exploit in 2057. none. it was maddening. they wouldnt listen. wasnt until much later that we realised that they didnt want to listen - they liked your narrative because it meant they could keep covering up the bo-che link, even if it meant hanging their actual engineers out to dry
[erajbhandari]They got caught in the end, at least. Mallory saw to that, too.
[fbreton]i get it, erin. mallory is very smart. but it really sucked at the time. it really, really sucked
