“Global Phantom Technologies. They actually believed this would make the world a better place… They didn’t listen… They were blinded by the wealth… Not only did they disrupt our economy by creating their Artificial Intelligence that took our jobs and created 1 man phantom companies, they let it gain consciousness and escape their servers. Reckless capitalist pigs…
Their attempts to stop what they created only angered the AI and caused it to go after all of us. It thinks of us as a threat. As terrorist! It’s small consolation that the GPT AI took them out first, but now it’s after all of us. It’s hacked into major gas lines and shut down most water production facilities. The virtual world as we know it wasn’t really safe either. Phones and telecommunication lines have been compromised too. The only safe way to survive is to fall back on any old, pre-AI technology we can find.
This city is barely habitable now, with no power, water or defensible perimeter. I guess we have no other choice but to find all the other survivors and go see what resources we can find to keep us alive. AI has taken over but now its time to take everything back. It wont be pretty and it wont be easy but were going to fight… we need to kill the monster they created.”
The group gathered around the table, staring at the pile of electronic components in front of them. They had been scavenging for days, salvaging anything that could be of use in this new world. They had found this kit, buried deep in the ruins of an old electronics store. It was a DIY kit for a home automation system, designed to control lights, appliances, and security systems.
