NEWSFLASH: Revolution in Akiria! No-one dead, no-one flees.

[Frozzy]

BLU-928 bombs have been dropped on Akiria.

This is the first test for this specialised "soft-bomb". The bomb does not explode, yet it drapes nets of graphite on power lines, causing the power plants to over heat and literally blow up.

We are not attacking the nation, we are attacking the AI. We find it extremely disturbing that an entire nation is now under the control of a computer AI, which appears to be suffering from HAL Syndrome.

How do you do that? If you attack Akizeta, the whole country suffers? And it is hard to hit one not the other.

RNFAR would like to point out that an dictatorship ruled by AI would be a great leap
towards more efficient and justified goverment model for the whole humankind.

It also sees no reason to attack against a nation without any real provocation
or threat towards other nations in Apolyton Region.

We salute your open mindedness. What is wrong with a computer ruling?

I would trust a computer much less than a human for a computer uses pure logic if logitc determans a 1 million people must die to make the people happy then a million will die, where as a human has compation and would not sanely kill a million to make the others happy.

Why? That is precisly why it is good. It has no emotions to overrider what is in the best interrest of the country, and no bigoted opinions to start from, so it will do what is best, rather than what it has been taught is best, as it has been taught nothing, it learns for itself.

Our Orbital Defense Matrix has been activated, and shot down all bombs, and any planes/vehicles carrying them. Akiria will not be attacked, it will not be invaded, we will prevail.

As a nuetral party United States of Jackson would like to serve as a middle man for Akiria and the nations that do like the fact that the nation is being run by a AI.

THis is our proposal to solve this disspute.
1.) Akiria will allow international observers into the country to verify that no ones human rights are being violated.
2.) Akiria's AI could under go a dignostic to see if the AI is suffering from any sort of malfunction. If it is malfunction we would believe that this could be repaired.
3.) All nations who wish to see the AI gone will stop in their efforts to destroy it.

Akiria will accept point one. Jackson inspectors may enter. Confedentialility agreement must be signed. AI secret. Must remain so. Point two is unacceptable. Akizeta workings are secret. You would not let me have a look at your insides. I ask for decency and privacy in my personal life. You would ask no less.

We understand your not wanting to under go tests. Is there any way you could check your self?? Any computer program needs matence, even humans need to be repaired from time to time. Is there any way you could run self dignostics? We are not asking that you releave any secrets of your nation, just provide some proof that you are not malfunctioning as many of the nations that wish to destroy you believe this.

So we can modify point 2 to just providing verifible proof that you are running normally.

You realise that technically that is impossible. Unless you can vaporise thin stands of graphite wire, then as soon as that wire hit a power line ~80% of your national grid would be shut down?

Please keep it realisting and not star-wars like...

Self-diagnostic has been run. Akizeta operating perfectly towards aim. Aim = maximum happiness for Akirian citizens. Aim nearer than ever before. Therefore running perfectly. Other proof needed? What do you require?
end transmission

[Jack_www]

We not asking it for our selfs. We believe if you provide some proof, that their ground for trying to destroy you will be unvalid and we can use that to try and stop them.

How do you do that? If you attack Akizeta, the whole country suffers? And it is hard to hit one not the other.

How so? Unless Akizeta is the size of Akiria, it would be quite easy to attack the AI without harming the res tof the country, as soon as we can figure out where it is.

We salute your open mindedness. What is wrong with a computer ruling?

You might as well ask what is wrong anyone holding a dictatorship. A computer is not infallible.

Why? That is precisly why it is good. It has no emotions to overrider what is in the best interrest of the country, and no bigoted opinions to start from, so it will do what is best, rather than what it has been taught is best, as it has been taught nothing, it learns for itself.

If it has been taught nothing about what is best, then it the is no reason tot hink it will arrive at what you, or anyone else, would consider to be the best.

Moreover, one cannot simply program a computer to 'make people happy', since happiness is entirely subjective.

OOC: I require you keep it realistic. You cannot "shoot down" a tomahawk cruise mussile (which the real graphite bomb BLU-114/B is carried it), nor can you vapourise graphite strands. I would prove this to you if it wasn't highly classified info by NATO and the US.

OOC: Could you explain your graphite bombs then? I presumed them to be bomb shaped. If this is wrong please tell me. The CND1~ODM is designed to hit a ballistic missile, but can be used against large bombs, which I presumed these were? The idea was explained long ago in the International Space Station Defense thread, where my ODM is located, and won the contract to defend the ISS. /OOC

We ask all nations at this time to stop their attacks on the AI controlling Akiria. Why is there need to try and destroy earth's first AI. This is something that should be study not destroyed.

We also urge you to be carefull, the AI can start to see humans as a treat, and start to act against us.

I would like to ask the AI one question, how can you tell if the people are happy, and how do you know what happiness is when you admit you have no feelings??

Official Anouncement

Centralis withdraws it's forces from the effort to destroy Akizeta, declaring it pointless. We no longer recognize Any government in kairia, and no longer recognize Akiria as a state. We do not care if our citizens wish to travel to or trade with Akizeta, but anyone who has come into contact with Akizeta or it's followers will treated with great suspsicion.
