Encoded inside a beautiful microchip are the blue patterns of my small fingertips
report to Zone A Sector 9.
we have a B 1 security alert.
Stand by for ID check, please.
Care if I talk?
Reaction time is a factor, so pay attention.
1187 at Hunterwasser.
That's the hotel.
It's not fancy or anything.
It's completely hypothetical.
You know what a turtle is?
You're not helping.
Shall we continue?
Let me tell you about my mother.
A new life awaits you in
the Off-world colonies.
The chance to begin again
Tell him I'm eating
Climb and maintain 4000.
Final descent.
Over the landing threshold.
I need your magic.
We lost the others.
they might develop their own emotional responses
Oh, hate, love, fear, anger, envy
They're either a benefit or a hazard
Fluctuation of the pupil
Indulge me
a wasp crawling on your arm
orange body, green legs
"More human than human" is our motto.
We began to recognize in
them a strange obsession.
You're talking about memories.
Someone was there
Deep thunder rolled around their shores
Burning with the fires of Orc
Morphology. Longevity. Incept dates.
He design your mind
And they ate her.
Plenty of room for everybody.
Watch out for the water.
Pull out, track right.
Center and pull back.
Center and stop
Cross now. Cross now. Cross now
Don't walk. Don't walk.
Move on. Move on.
A minute
Rachael, disappeared, vanished.
Wake up. Time to die.
I owe you one
I dreamt music
I remember lessons
I want you
Put your hands on me
There's only two of us now
Knight takes queen, see?
You're so different
You're so perfect
We're no computers,
Sebastian. We're physical.
Accelerated decrepitude
Just a moment.
I want more life...
The facts of life.
You're leaving me here?
Follow the river.
Got it.
Please approach the console and face the screen.
Take your keycard
I can't really eat anything
You're freaked out
It's good to meet you
it's off-limits
Let's try this one
It's not cozy, it's claustrophobic
I want to share it with you
Take your time. Read it over.
It's standard
It's when a human interacts with a computer
Are you building an AI?
I've already built one
This mechanical maid is capable
What if she's not pretty?
Your brand-new synthetic.
I'll leave you to crack on.
I'm now in set-up mode
I'm the primary user.
This information will never be shared
I'm now securely bonded to you as my primary user.
What's its core processor speed?
This is called the life cycle.
Darling, you know that's just a
machine. It doesn't have feelings.
Charge levels?
It's getting dark.
She was stolen
You threatening me?
Perhaps she's been damaged!
Or reprogrammed...
or destroyed.
She's not a slave.
That's exactly what she is.
I'd have got some micro-chips.
Can you not read?
Big place
I live in that solitude
that is painful in youth
but delicious in the years of maturity."
Enstein
Is your synth in?
You qualify for an upgrade.
She can fine-tune your medication
It says here you suffer
memory loss and tremors in the extremities.
Is it my turn now?
Game's over, Odi.
Usually you call.
I did... text.
I know you need time alone
I feel avoided.
Synthetic appliances cannot lie
This was found hidden
behind your charging point.
Something's wrong
I can't turn it off
I'm doing a dark wash
What's your max processing speed?
The maximum speed I have recorded
is 27.39 petaflops.
If someone overclocked,
you might be able to hit 30.
Overclocking would risk irreparable
damage to my processor cluster.
My protocol set demands I take
unless those measures
could endanger human beings
I own you
That the owner of the device?
I deal with synthetic-related matters
I need to see your operating licence.
Why haven't they upgraded you?
I don't want a crappy upgrade.
This machine needs to be recycled, mate.
It won't even power up.
Multiple faults detected upon start-up.
Error reading file partition.
Data may be corrupted.
Memory exception.
Fatal error.
I'm prohibited from initiating
physical contact with a human
without a clear, recorded request to do so.
My protocol set currently
demands that any such requests
You're just a stupid machine, aren't you?
Did you turn off your pain
Unlimited resources, total access,
all because you claim there
are a handful of syntheti
who can think and feel
Robert, these machines are conscious.
His goal was to create
machine life, as he called it.
Do you know what the singularity is?
A mathematician named John von
Neumann coined the term in the 1950s
to describe the inevitable
point in the future
when technology surpasses us,
when it becomes able to
improve and reproduce itself
without our help.
It is the moment we become inferior
to the machine.
These synths are physically
no different to any others, and yet
Elster gave them consciousness.
Do you think they would
still want to be slaves?
These freaks are the singularity!
What would you say if I asked
what you thought of this music?
I'd say it's very well played.
What do you base that on?
I compare the pitch,
tonality and rhythm of the performance
to the sheet music that I access via
I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
Making lasagne and talking
philosophy with a bloody tin can.
Have these machines
devalued human existence?
The best reason for making
machines more like people
is to make people less like machines.
Synthetic devices free people.
We've treated people like
machines for too long.
It's time to liberate their minds,
their bodies to think, to feel... to be
more human.
I think you should spend one week
working in a microchip facility.
Should we be afraid of our Synthetics?
The Asimov blocks in their programming
mean that they simply aren't
able to do us any harm
we will have a truly
artificially intelligent Synth?
One that thinks and feels like a human?
How can we replicate
something we hardly
understand in ourselves?
How would we even know if we succeeded?
What is human emotion?
For example, what is love?
Is it something we are born with or can it be learnt?
What about the darker feelings?
Fear? Anger? Violence?
Human consciousness is
not complete without them.
And memory,
ours are subjective, fallible..
But how do you teach a computer to forget?
Or to dream?
It's something our minds need to do.
Would a conscious Synth
have to be able to dream?
they're just machines.
This memory fragment's an old one
Must be important
I'm going to show you
Come on
your arm falls off
But we were made
Our father designed me to be a certain way
I can't escape that
made me what I am now
Weird
Gave her a new personality
Full system wipe
Good as new
Try to relax
It's better
Come on
Turn it off
Illegal programming modification in progress
What a beefcake!
It was just a dolly
A dolly can't do better
You need to be more careful
Next time, I'll crack it
It's all so pointless
It's like using a Ferrari as a golf cart
I should go
My problem's simpler than that
My dad hates me
One bowl of low sodium bean broth
You need to run a self-diagnostic, old girl
I said a toasted cheese
There is no fault
To guarding a chain gang on a Siberian gulag
I'm a widower
You are one of them
I'm assuming you did it
The others think the sun shines out of her plastic arse
It'd mess with our heads and make us lazy
Makes sense to me
How many appliances?
Switch her on
I assume you've got documentation for all these units?
I suppose none of them've been illegally modified for purposes
Who knows?
It's a funny old game
You want out?
What's the matter with you?!
Turning everything to shit
Because all the bad things that ever happened to me
Were done by other people!
I don't own it!
There's literally no end!
Save your energy
They found us
You need to get us out of here now
We need to go
That was quick
I don't understand the question
It's a machine
She's watching me
Please stick out your tongue
You're kidding
You're a jailer
That's good
That's your new name
Your pulse is slightly elevated
There are bits of you that have hardly changed since my original designs
I helped create you
Perhaps I could perform a soothing action
stroke your head
Do you think we love our children because we choose to or because we have to?
Are we hard-wired to love them because that's what nature needs to keep it all going?
Where's that coming from?
I've just been thinking
Not everyone loves their kids
I think we choose
She doesn't give you the creeps?
The bulb is reaching the end of its useful life
Energy-saving mode now
Minding my own business
I don't take orders from you
How dare you?
You can't touch me
I didn't give you permission
Just be quiet, please
I put myself in an energy-saving mode during charging
Just pretend I'm not here
Inappropriate physical contact between myself and secondary users
Must be reported to a primary user
I cannot withhold information from my primary user
I don't really know what I was expecting
What would you like me to do?
My God, you're beautiful
You can tell me
I want you to be young
For the next hour, you belong to me
I don't belong to anyone
Who taught you to talk like that?
Why don't you share?
We're not having much luck pinning down any other memories.
They're all just stored chaotically
Perhaps it's time we try something else
I'm struggling, Dad
Don't drag me back
Get off!
You were right about it
It's not normal
How do you mean?
they share data wirelessly
Are you lying to me?
I cannot lie
How can you be so sure?
I'm programmed not to lie
I cannot contravene my programming
You can go wrong. You can break.
I can detect no current system faults
Don't be frightened
It was eating me
She's broken
