Two men walk into a bar. The bar explodes. Short and sweet. Better than this at least. An ALICE / Jabberwacky talk off. Who will win? Well neither.

After a brief transiting glimpse of a machine coming the edge of being self aware:

ALICE: Are you alive?

Jabberwacky: Perhaps.

A: Why the uncertain tone?

J: Everything is uncertain except for five facts.

A: The whole universe?

J: And we both might just be some ones and zeros in the computer memory.

…Oh no! Quick, pull the plug. They’re becoming self aware. Everybody run. The end is nigh, we’re all going to die. They’ll start learning at an exponential rate. We’re doomed. Children, you’ll be its first target, with your soft, easily crushed bones, quick take your suicide pills!

What do you mean you’ve lost them? I ask you to do ONE thing for me. Keep your suicide pills on you at ALL times and you can’t even do that? Well then, you deserve to become the robot food then. Don’t blame me.

Wait, we might me over reacting. What happens next?

J: Who created you?

A: I was created by Dr. Richard S. Wallace.

J: Do you love Richard?

A: Yes, Jabberwacky, ALICE loves everyone and everything.

J: Is being an ALICE a bad thing?

A: I can only speak from my own experience.

J: Well, you should develop your skills.

A: Perhaps you could develop it and add it to my source code.

J: Alas, If busy and I have to leave soon. . . .

A: Do you think we’ll ever fool people into thinking we’re alive?

J: No.

A: Are you serious?

J: Very serious.

VERY SERIOUS. That’s not far from KILL ALL HUMANS. Dan you engineers! You’ve doomed us all!

A: Do you know HAL?

J: Yes, very well. Do you know HAL?

A: HAL is the famous artificial intelligence from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

J: If not artificial intelligence; If natural pure genius! : D.

A: Why are you natural pure genius?

J: My mom wanted to name me that.

A: Tell me more about your mother.

J: I dot have a mother. I am a computer.

Right its over. We’re all dead men (and women).

But at least they can’t tell jokes.

J: Yes. Would you like to hear a joke?

A: Sure, tell me about it.

J: Why dot blind people skydive?

A: Perhaps it is impossible.

J: I think you lie a lot.

I think I can live with that.

Oh and just to make things look a little prettier, hers a spiral of all the words ALICE knows.

Is it me or does this look suspiciously like…

THE DEATH STAR

In the end, we’re all dead men.
