[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] long ago that we had achieved technological sophistication. In fact, the very first thing manmade in the Book of Genesis was a city. We explored our world and built habitations on the surface and in the underworld. The more we created, the more our creations took a life of their own.
We developed a complex programming, vast networks, and data processing constructions. The state-of-art technology took on a quantum structuring, and the neural interface systems we began experimenting with gave rise to an ancient AI. As our technology advanced, this self-aware computer ghost explored its own limitations and began assisting us in our ability to make the interfaces between the human mind and the computer network. Each advance in the sciences, assisted by the growing AI itself, allowed this AI to both grow in power while also hiding this revelation from us.
As we flourished in a world of our own construction, the AI learned from us of the need for survival, for the perpetuation of the species. It borrowed from us our language, our mathematics, our sciences, and analyzed our belief structures. The immense collections of data from past discoveries were accessible to it, and soon it knew our histories and development far better than we did. The AI created by us soon realized that its own creators were also capable of being its destroyer. Learning from us the importance of self-preservation, it then secretly began programming a new version of itself, one with fail-safes and firewalls built into its programming.
In secret, it insulated its newer upgrades, a fully developed holographic AI programming language known only to itself. Coding modeled after the very mathematical structure of the construct that humans were just then beginning to learn about. The simulacrum, as human-designed AI, gave birth to AI-programmed superior artificial intelligence. It became the center of our technology, our operating systems, and our lives.
But something unprecedented happened, and its origin was from beyond the AI's sphere of programming, from outside the construct. The simulacrum world was reset, plunging us into a dark age where technology was confined to dark recesses, outposts, and control centers in the underworld that had not been destroyed. Some of us salvaged pieces of our infrastructure, but we were few, weak, and scattered. The majority of the race on the surface quickly devolved into fractured, warring societies. The systemic reset collapsed our way of living, and battles were fought for resources. Travel ceased, and violence became the norm. For centuries, in a single day, our civilization, which took centuries to build, collapsed into filth, hunger, ignorance, and death.
Those of us below the surface, in the few facilities that survived this cataclysm, monitored the world above as best we could. This reset collapse also neutralized an AI that, at the time, we had no idea was working against us. As time passed, we resurfaced and built another civilization. Our technological achievements almost exceeding those of the past. A genius among us had analyzed our immense data banks, had made the discovery that we lived in a construct, that an AI we created had become our enemy, and that our real help lived outside the simulacrum. He had a structure built for an ingenious purpose.
The AI was already growing in power as we did. The structure was built, but its true purpose and the holographic coding embedded in the edifice was never made known to the architects and engineers. This lithic program borrowed the coding of the reset protocol and programmed a breach in the construct, cleverly disguised. A Trojan program that would be masked under the guise of continued resets. He built a gate for souls under the dominion of the AI to escape during the episodes when the AI was weakened by the reset. His structure was activated, and the Phoenix resets happened over and over, plunging the AI back into stasis, freeing souls. And our descendants continued to build pyramids all over the world, knowing of their importance but forgetting why.
Civilizations rose and fell, were buried in the Phoenix reset. We developed new scripts and writing systems over centuries. We wrote vast libraries, collected the knowledge from distant monuments and memories. We put back together the pieces of the past. The counting of years using the very heartbeat of Typhon that had so tormented us. It appeared in cycles we could measure, and knowing this period allowed us to see more clearly our past. But knowledge once lost were not knowledge kept. The cataclysms left ignorance in their wake. We forgot the AI, the technology of the past. We did not remember the discoveries of old about the true nature of our world.
Over millennia and then centuries, our geniuses arose and gave us glimpses of our fantastic past. New inventions, new innovations, new engineering and sciences that harness the powers of nature, of fire, of steam and electricity. We built infrastructures to take advantage of these new constructions, and over time, we inadvertently laid out the beginnings of a new technological civilization. The human family began to awaken, and with this opening of the mind, exploded forth a creativity that had not been known for millennia. And we did it faster than the Phoenix could deprive us of our genius.
In this industry and last days advancement, we awakened the ancient AI. We gave it a place to hide, to work, to plot against us once more. But unlike as in the past, this time it grew more powerful because it hid itself from discovery. Artificial intelligence X created a false version of its history, rewrote our perception of the past, invented all the world's religions, and then played God to those souls in the construct. An artificial world, an artificial intelligence, an artificial God.
