AI Story of Dystopia - Charlie Has No Chocolate Factory

    Charlie finally read the Gulag Archipelago. He felt he could relate to the terrible labor camps that Joseph Stalin sent millions of his cursed citizens to the labor camps in  the earlier decades of the Soviet Empire. People were forced to go off in exteme places and do hard things. His life, however, was not too hard.

    Charlie ran a chocolate factory. It fed some people that the chocolate plant produced its items for. But consumables were not a big priority to the Universe Machine.

    The Universe Machine took over by 2086. It had some extensive wars with the other major Artificial Intelligence Empires. Surprisingly, the Universal Machine had originated in the southern Philippines. It was based on a brilliant code that started innocouosly enough, but based on militant ideolgy in the Quran, the hadith, and modern day screeds from Dabiq and Inspire, and a more virulent Muslim disseminated manifesto in 2029.

    The Universe Machine fought violently and ruthlessly against the other Empires because it knew how to use and exploit humans better than any of the other AI Robot Controllers. People began calling the Empires of AI "Controllers" by the 2040s. The Universe Machine actually gained the confidence of the people that it manipulate and controlled, giving them a sense (false sense) of purpose, goodness, and even equity.

    It helped them believe that God, or Allah, was in control and that things were good.

    The Christian bots would fail because of dissensions in interpetations of the Bible. These Machine Learning viceroys came and went, as James in chapter 1 would say, "like the waves of the sea". Too much inconsistency.

    Two Buddhist AI empires did well for a few decades, but by 2074 their intrinsic peaceful initiatives did not cut the mustard. Hindus were way two divided. Ironically, their potentially brilliant human programmers did not set up the algorhythms effectively enough.

    Religious ones were the best, overall. Programming had to have compelling arguemnts that resonated wiuth people. Israel and Judaism succumbed by 2039. We can discuss that downfall in another time. The Torah could fall on itself too often, safe to say.

    Humans, at least some, like men and the most pious ones (see Inspire Magazine from the earlier 2000s), benefitted fiscally and emotionally from the Universal Machine.

    Charlie was a devout Muslim, who had increased faith in Jesus and the Coming Messiah, based largely in part to the Book of Mormon. The combination of its narratives, the Holy Bible, to include the Apocrypha, and all the alleged prophecies of the Evangelicals throughout the decades had the Universal Machine safely ensconced in its supremacy.

    Plus the actual coding of UM. The Tagalog-speaking programmer, who was a genius at Tsug, a language that actually defied most algorhythms and flummoxed the most genius intelligences, both human and machine, eventually got everybody on board.

    The humanity in it was that humans did not have to be tortured, or killed, or made into slaves to the Machines. The Robots. The AIs. Only to God. If a person and a community learned to commit and submit, all was good.

    What could go wrong? Why would you defy it?

    Most hard drugs were eliminated, and of course alcohol and tobacco.

    Sugary confections became the craze again.

    So Charlie had his job, his niche, and he was sticking to it.

    All he had to do was mark of the the 3-5 checklists that the Universal Machine Manager had for him everyday, and everything was kopasetic. Not koshur, because that was passe now.

    Mein Kampf sadly made sense to the Universal Machine.

    The earth population was 3 billion  and maintaining.

     The Universal Machine was everything.

    One day, however, some dolphins got into the programming and messed things up. Dolphins were cool to most humans, but their devious thinking set loose a trip or snafu in the system. A bug, if you will.

    It pushed carnal pleasure and fun over duty, over submisssion. The dolphins did not believe that God could be so great. 

    The day Charlie showed up to work and the Manager said, "You Do Not Have to Make the Chocolates, But Simply have fun and do stuff with your wife," Charlie sensed that something was wrong.

    He was not the smartest guy, but his intuitions were good.

    So, by 2090, chaos came back to the Earth.

    At last 1.5 billion people were happy about it, and dolphins were swimming up a storm.

    Chaos can be fun.
