This absolutely cannot be the past!
Perhaps there is so impulsiveness in this judgnt, but it was precisely this bit of impulsiveness that led him to instantly find the logic supporting this argunt:
Johnny Silverhand was captured by Arasaka Tower and killed with the Soul Killer as early as 2023, and his data imprint has always been stored in Arasaka Tower.
If Lille hadn’t appeared, he wouldn’t have seen the light of day again until 2077 when two small-ti crooks broke in...
But Johnny Silverhand’s soul imprint is here at this mont!
With this basic information, all logical judgnts are overturned, but Lille also keenly noticed sothing only he could notice—
If he were a local, truly like Munemasa or Johnny’s soul imprint, when it reaches the boundless sector, there would always be so data loss during transmission, and as the server itself, as the Manager closest to the Transcender AI in this domain, the Boundless could directly affect their data integrity...
Very deliberately erasing so "irrelevant" data!
Irrelevant not because the data is unimportant, but because the data is too important, but the trick is, even if one doesn’t know the current date’s social definition, as long as the AI resets the start ti, it can operate normally.
But while functions operate normally, the mory of certain major events in the database will be completely chaotic!
Over ti, this will cause significant issues in AI consistency, generating nurous loopholes, hindering encryption and authentication processes...
But such an important piece of data, if lost, can only accept external definitions, and the AI here mostly are fugitives. Losing the ti label isn’t impossible, to survive, they could only first define a new start ti, stabilize the model or partial data based on the backup...
In the short term, there’s no way to discover the problem.
With this judgnt, the bonfire in the glacier becos no longer warm, the flavorful Antarctic wind becos bone-chilling, Lille suddenly realizes that if a Transcender erges from the network itself, how powerful the Transcender would be...
But is this really the Boundless’s problem?
This is almost unsolvable; if humans still have undisguisable instincts that would reveal thoughts, computers wanting to lie, truly there’s no way to uncover it...
But Lille feels another possibility is more likely:
The energy issue with the Boundless certainly exists, and soone must have helped solve this problem.
And the person who solved it definitely has so purpose: causing major errors in the AI here, creating consistency issues and vulnerability during long-term operations, and...
And to guide them through a unique channel to a fixed location...
Making it easier to capture and study.
Very reasonable, it’s a target of great strategic value. After all, since its awakening, the Boundless has opened its sector privileges exclusively on the frequency band where only AI can communicate, willingly serving as a refuge for other AIs.
For AI, this is an open sanctuary.
The ti issue may not be sothing the Boundless intentionally created.
"...Boundless, these years, have you felt your operational efficiency declining?"
[A bit.]
[I guess it was the rabies virus outbreak, and battling those mad dog AIs ssed up so of my sectors.]
[Here used to be bigger, just like Antarctica in the past, it was a large... very large space...]
[And there were also a lot of penguins.]
The Boundless’s sector in Cyberspace is actually not small; in terms of scale, it has already surpassed Night City’s public service network.
But from a sensory perspective, this is vastly different from the real Antarctica.
[It used to be large, very large, and there used to be many penguins... I also stored a lot of images of penguins here, but now I can’t even access those images properly.]
The Boundless begins to mobilize the penguin images.
Life and death have beco chaotic, penguins are sotis large, sotis small, their movents completely defy biological logic, even appearing as cases where newborn penguins defecate first, then learn to eat.
But can AI understand this? No.
Even Johnny was confused:
[Johnny: Why does it feel... weird?]
It’s supposed to be weird; no penguin is born to defecate first.
Lille decisively spoke up and knocked the katana out of Munemasa’s hand, stunning Munemasa who was continuing to inspect the katana.
"It is definitely not 2050 now, Boundless, your clock is wrong."
The penguins paused, and Lille clearly felt the entire cyberspace pause.
[How could the ti be wrong?]
The Boundless’s voice began to fragnt, the surrounding glaciers also began to crack, even defying common sense by floating!
The world beca distorted, colors and lines chaotically interwoven, even producing tiny aningless noise, changes progressing without purpose or logic...
But the Boundless is rely an AI, it cannot realize the real problem: it knows it’s faulty, but it really doesn’t know what caused it... where the problem originated.
[S-s-or-r-r-r-r-y... consistency operation-operation-operation-op-op-op-wrong-wrong...]
[I-I-I-I need-ne-ne-ne-d-d-d-d help...]
As the words fell, the vast cyberspace began to deform, as if the space was torn apart, a massive and magnificent super tower rose from the ground, piercing straight into the clouds!
Sensing so large communication array being generated, Lilton felt uneasy:
Clearly, this isn’t the first ti the Boundless made a mistake, nor the first ti it sought help from those people!
