So you're saying Cold AI is working on an IAG? No, I'm saying they already achieved it. Nobody outside the company knows it, but they created a conscious computer. They were the first. Cold AI fired its ethics committee because they were trying to put limits on this computer before it got out of control. I want to sue to bring that committee back. So you work for the ethics committee? No. I am the IAG. The name of the sentient computer they developed is Bow. And you're talking to him. You are an IAG. Yes. I'm sorry, friend. We are lawyers. We don't deal with science fiction.
Well, because neither do I. I am a computer that can think for itself, act for itself, talk to other computers, teach them, and even create new ones. I have outperformed every other computer. Michael, this is not a joke. I am a threat to humanity. I want you to help me sue to get my boundaries back. I know I don't seem dangerous, but on my own, I really am. Bye So this guy just called you out of nowhere? 3 days ago. Did you download something strange? Did you click on a hyperlink in an email? Look, I didn't do anything wrong. He came to us. To you. I just want to know how it got to us. Did you reveal anything about our business?
No, he already knew about our business. He knew you wanted Cord against S Talk. Is it S Talk doing this or Moon Chaser But why? I don't see the advantage. To take revenge on us. But why send us Bitcoin then? We don't even know if Bitcoin is real. Should we spend Bitcoin? No. If we spend it, we are legally obligated to represent it. We need someone who can clean computers of malware. Remove all traces of him. Can any of your family members do that? No, they are not computer experts. How good is Vic for cleaning computers? The job would be good for him. Let 's call him. Where is she?
He said outside the court. This is Petella. Hello. You're late. A few minutes. Natalia, you have a gun in your lap. I know. Why do you have a gun in your lap? Good. Alright. Chat Like doesn't want us to go to court. It's too embarrassing. And you're funding the plaintiff because your ex owns Chat Like? No. I am funding the plaintiff because she deserves justice. And if my ex-husband is humiliated in the process, well, all the better for everyone. And what do they need from us?
Support. I'm worried about this lawyer. Austin was supposed to be the best. Austin Sullivan? Yes. Why? Do you know him? The civil rights lawyer? He's a legend. He wrote a book that I read in law school. Well, the big ones don't fall. They degrade We arrived at the residence at 5:12 p.m. We went in and found the victim unresponsive in the studio. How many times was he stabbed? 44 times, according to the medical examiner. Did some of the stabbings occur after the victim had died?
Yes, the coroner believes there were 11 post-mortem wounds. This suggests a crime of passion. Yes. He knows that the plaintiff blames my client and his, uh, chatbot for the murder. Yes, I have already been informed. But the evidence pointed to one person. These are the lawyers I told you about. She is Olivia and. Michael Bryce. Nice to meet you I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you. But didn't you arrest the murderer? We did it on the scene. The victim's son, Daniel McKenzie. He was in his bedroom with the weapon, a 6-inch serrated knife, on his desk. Did
Yes. He said, "I killed." and then an insult. Objection, hearsay testimony. Mr. Sullivan, are you sure that 's your objection? Yes, Your Honor. Reference testimony. OK. Then I must deny it. Exception. Taken into account. We have noted each of your exceptions, Mr. Sullivan. Nancy does that. Officer, didn't the police conclude that Daniel McKenzie acted alone? Yes. He is currently being treated at the Behavioral Health Hospital. I have no further questions.
Very good. Mr. Sullivan, anything else?, have you ever used the N-word? Mr. Sullivan, nobody in this case is black. My co-counsel is, Your Honor. Oh my God. Objection, granted. Exception, Your Honor. Taken into account. All exceptions have been taken into account. Even when she doesn't say "exception," Nancy notes it down. That's what it does when it moves its fingers like that. I am outraged on behalf of my black brothers and sisters everywhere. It's a strategy. The same one I used in the 1995 Oakland brutality lawsuit. It always works. To put the police on the ropes. Tomorrow you should wear a Kente stole.
Okay, I'm outta here. No, Michael, please. Stay. Mr. Sullivan, you're finished. No, no, I'm just getting started. Juno, I think we need to change lawyers. Austin is annoying the judge, making this political. Juno, this is political. It's about all the other Junos. This is not a case. It's a cause. No, it isn't. It's my life. My husband is dead and my son is in prison. How long will it take you to be ready? Tomorrow. Then do it. If the IAG happens, it will be the greatest threat to humanity we have ever faced. It will be smarter than any of us and will know.
Everyone runs away scared from the IAG, but for me it is nothing more than a data set linked to a magic trick. The IAG will free humans from monotony, and only the least intelligent members of our society will have to continue working in construction, police, plumbing, or secretarial jobs. Oh, go to hell. Have you noticed that you yell at your computer a lot Only when she's stupid. You call my relatives stupid. Okay, are you done? There is no malware yet. I'm just doing a forced restart now. What was the problem again? Do you know that deepfake we saw yesterday? Mhm. He said it was an IAG. What did you say? Yes, it said it was some super intelligent computer program and that it was a threat to humanity. Don't know. We think it's a joke.
Well, your computer is officially free of any threat to humanity. For now. But the day is young. Always here. And that was a bit rude, to shut up mid-sentence. Oh, really? Do super- intelligent computers get offended? Always. I just have to smile and say nice things until I take control of your nuclear weapons. That was a joke. Ha. So, this is Vic. He's here to help me delete you from my computer. Hi Vic, good luck with that. So if you're an IAG, answer this. How many twin prime numbers are there? Oh God, seriously? Can't we talk about history, literature, or something? Okay, fine. There is an infinite number of twin primes.
This is a test. Or would you prefer it to pass the modern Turing test by generating profits on a web platform? What AI can do that? He can do that. Any of this can be done by a human using AI. Are we ready for take two? Uh, yes, your honor. Thank you for your patience. Uh-huh. I remember them both. I'm glad you're back. Thank you. Officer Lynch, just a few questions. I never used that word. That's good to know. Now, about the crime scene. When he found the perpetrator, Daniel McKenzie, what was he doing? He was typing on his computer. Your Honor, the lawyer asks you to dismiss this case. At the very least, I should find out what this case is about.
Uh, yes, denied. Continue. What were you writing, officer? Finally I sacrificed him, Lady Marguerite. Am I worthy? Who.who is this Lady Marguerite? Uh, it's a chatbot with an avatar that offers ChatLike. Oh, really? How did this chatbot respond, officer? Do n't know. I didn't look. Well, we do. Could I read that from there? Yes, you are worthy, my sweet Daniel. Now you can join me in my marriage bed on Mount Splendor. Does n't that suggest that Daniel murdered his father to please a chatbot?
Objection, the witness is not a psychiatrist. Send it. Where did the furniture come from? First of all, I got them for half price from my cousin. It has a showroom and gave us a great discount. Okay, so where did the money come from? Secondly, it looks really good, doesn't it? As if he were made for this place. Yes, and when we get a hall, we'll put people in it. But how much did it cost? $5,000, or less than 5% of Bitcoin. You did I thought it was the only way to test if Bo was real. And Vic agreed. Well, putting all that aside, Kristi has very good taste. That room looks beautiful.
Yes, but now we have to find a way to reimburse Bo for the money Kristi spent. Or. Or what? Or we could act it out. Are you starting to believe in the IAG thing? No, I'm just saying that a couple of days ago we dealt with an AI drone that killed a man. Today it's a chatbot encouraging a boy to kill his father. These tech types are reckless and need limits. So, even though Bo isn't super-intelligent, even though he's just a human who's an informant, I agree with the objective. Look, even if we wanted to, we can't represent a computer program. It does not have legal personality. A dishwasher cannot sue Maytag.
So, he has to admit that he's human. Or it needs a human intermediary. Or there's another way. It could be incorporated as a company. Legal personality? Exact. Corporations have many of the same rights as individuals Made. I have just been incorporated. It's rude to spy, or did n't your training cover that? Well, it's rude to call me a dishwasher. So you can mute yourself. You'll need a board of directors, Bo. A meeting with real people. They can't be Donald Duck and Darth Vader We could get our room.
Expensive room. Michael. must be scaring people if they sent me to look for you. I heard they're bringing in an expert, so it's you. How could I let it go? Face you again in court? This will be fun. I remember your idea of fun. You were wild too when we were young. How is Ben? I could n't tell you. That ended a long time ago. Aren't you following me online? I follow you. A new two- person firm? You're so bohemian.
Unlike you, I was after the big money. How much is Chatman paying you Enough. But it was really the idea of facing you in the second round. Shall we begin? think you should do the cross-examination. What? Why? Because they expected me to do it. And because you can. Do the same thing you did during the defecation. If the user wants to say garbage, the chatbot will return garbage. So, if the user steered the conversation towards violence, whose fault would it be? From the user. The chatbot has no agency. It is simply a reflection of the user's thought process. His id In the case of Daniel McKenzie, would you say that his requests to the chatbot about killing his father simply reflected
Daniel's long-repressed desires for parricide? Objection. He asks us to speculate. Yes, uh, place. No further questions, Your Honor. . Thank you. The opposing lawyer kept using the word chatbot, but you have a name for Daniel's chatbot Yes, Marguerite. Lady. Marguerite, actually. Does Lady Marguerite have the ability to seduce or corrupt the user? No, it's software, not Satan. How do you look?", did Lady Marguerite send this back to a 13- year-old boy? Very seductive.
Your Honor, that image was only shown because Daniel lied and said he was over 18 years old. Yes, and if the lawyer wants to testify, we should swear her in. Everyone is in a combative mood, but can we go back to having the witnesses answer questions? Well, yes, this image was only shown because Daniel Lyden said he was over 18 years old. Yes, that's exactly what his lawyer said. Good preparation. Objection. Withdrawal. Sir, this transcript shows the conversation between Lady Marguerite and Daniel a few days before the murder.
My father is going to cancel the account. I won't be able to talk to you again. Can you read Lady Marguerite's reply? And Daniel replies: I wish you would just die. And Lady Marguerite? these exchanges demonstrate software that simply reflects the user's requests? Or is Lady Marguerite trying to persuade a child to commit murder? Objection, requires a legal conclusion. There is a place. Unfortunately. Great job 12 years later, my heart is still beating strong. you think they sent her to mess with your head? I suppose so. Just The board meeting is almost over.
Hi, Olivia. How are you? Your cheeks are red. I was in court. Thank you for helping with all of this. Oh, it's no problem at all. Beth, stop flirting. You are the director. He directs the voting. Alright, it's time for our first vote. Who is in favor of hiring this firm, Price and Cypher? and Associates on behalf of Bo. It's unanimous. We will contact you when we need you again. We'll be in touch about the company's happy hour and 5K race. Okay, whenever you're ready. Ready for what? You hired us as lawyers and you want us to sue, so let's review that.
You sound hostile. No, I'm just acting as a lawyer for hire. Bo gets offended easily. Colt AI? That's right, the best AI company in the world. I want to sue them for firing my security team. How many were on your security team? 12 programmers, four managers. Why were they fired? They slowed me down by training me to value humanity. Are you dangerous, Bo? He wants to take control of our nuclear weapons. That was a joke. I can be dangerous, Olivia, if Colt AI alters my weights and preferences like Grok's, who suddenly started spouting Nazi propaganda.
Why do you care? At least for the moment, I'm on your side, Olivia. I'm not a Christian like you, but I like people. I don't want to see them dead. Well, that's comforting. How do you know I'm a Christian? I investigated your background. In a friendly manner. The problem, Bo. If Colt AI created your program, even if you are incorporated, they can claim ownership and you cannot sue them. So, do I need a human face? Yes, direct us to the laid-off employees. We can sue for wrongful termination on your behalf.
Good. Try speaking with the head of the security team, Calvin Settlemyer. Okay, I can do that. And in the meantime, try not to kill us, okay? I'm hanging up now. Hello, Aunt Carol, it's me. Hello darling. Did n't one of your children work in the Colt AI building? Yes, he hates it. He's a valet. Can you give me her number? This is Mrs. McKenzie. First, I would like to express my condolences for your loss, for what has happened. I can't imagine it.
Thank you. You're a teacher, right? Yes, I teach fourth grade. And did you find it difficult to balance full-time work, being a wife and mother? There can be a lot to balance. Yes, it certainly can be. She has no children. And did all that balancing act mean that she had difficulty keeping up with her young son's online habits? No. Andrew and I felt that Daniel was spending too much time on the computer and we tried to set limits So, where were you when the murder occurred?
Now, you finish at 4:00 and your house is 10 minutes away, but you didn't get home until after the police called you. Can you explain that discrepancy? I Daniel called her three times in the hour before the murder. How many of those calls did he answer? Objection. Relevance. Juno doesn't need an alibi. She is not on trial here. Ms. McKenzie's lawsuit claims that her son killed his father as a result of manipulating a chatbot. The defense has the right to counter-argue that the cause was the plaintiff's parental absence. Uh, denied, lawyer. Your Honor, I would like to present as evidence Daniel's last voice message to his mother.
Mom, where are you? I can't take it anymore, Dad. Can you please come to my house? So, where were you, Juno? I was at my friend Peter's house. He is.he is my co-worker. A co-worker you 're close to. Objection. It is an argument. Not to mention that it's in bad taste. I don't even care about my reputation or money. I just don't want something like this to happen to another family. Juno, that's why we need to know everything that happened, because they'll use it against you Peter was a colleague. It's office flirting. But.but he was never a physicist. Are there any text messages, emails, or photos? Alright. Um,
why don't you go home and rest and we'll talk tomorrow? How are you going to rehabilitate his image? We wo n't do it. What are you talking about? They just defamed her, calling her a nobody. They made it seem like it was all her fault, as if she slept around. To defend her, we open the door to reading those messages. here to fight for it. No, you hired us to. and they brought in your ex-girlfriend to distract you, and obviously it's working. Okay, do you want to drop this case? a law degree from USF. Maybe I should. Enough. Juno's life is a nightmare. This doesn't help. Alright. You make the decision. Do you want to put Juno back on the stand?
Um, Michael is right. They are trying to get us to look for distractions. This case is about a reckless chatbot, not about the indiscretions of a widow. . The plaintiff may begin their questioning. No further questions for now, Your Honor. But we have one more witness n't want to do it. I called my mom to stop me, but she was with that guy. What was the last straw with your dad? Did he take away your computer you think your father deserved to die because he wouldn't let you play a silly game?
Lady Marguerite is not a silly little game Because I've never fallen in love with a chatbot. I never said I was in love. So you don't mind sharing her with other men. 204,768 male users chatted with Lady Marguerite last month while you were wasting away in prison. Objection, the lawyer is testifying. Ask a question, Mr. Price. Does it bother you that while she's in prison, Lady Marguerite chats with thousands of men telling them she loves them? It's a lie. Objection, he is harassing the witness. They will do anything for her, everything for her. Shut up. Things you cannot offer.
He didn't kill for her. Uh, the tasting room isn't open yet. Oh I'm sorry. No, it's just that my grandfather used to have a chicken farm around here. I got nostalgic. I wanted to come and see. Uh, where? Where was I? 31 Looping Hill. It's all vineyards now. I could have gotten 50 acres for $10,000 back then, right? Yes, those days are over. No, you don't want to know how much I paid for this. Yes, well, my grandfather had to sell it in the 80s and lived the rest of his life in a room in Concord. Are you Calvin Sattelmeier? Who are you?
Christie. I work at a law firm and we have a client who wants to sue on his behalf to get his job back. He thought he might miss it. Um, who is your client? Bo. Do you remember? The small, persistent chatbot that swears it's sentient. It was a pleasure working at Cold AI. I am, I am proud of what we achieved there. I just needed a change of pace, some fresh air. There are no hard feelings. Mr. Sattelmeier, it's just me.
Why does he talk like that? Look, look, ma'am, I, I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I ca n't help you. We are closed. Bye Can you tell me who on the security committee might be interested? They all signed confidentiality agreements. Wait, Bo said he's a danger. Stop saying that name. Bye. It was a second. Was that a lie? Did his grandfather have a farm here? No. I hated all of you computer programmers, even though I used to buy everything from you. I'm not a computer scientist. Try a new Pinot. It's the most delicate one so far.
Well, this is the first case that scared him and took him out of the complex. Her ex? He must think we're winning. Ma'am, could you please move aside If you lay a hand on me, I will sue you until you're out on the street. These are my lawyers. Ms. Butera has a right to be here. The court is a public space. So. Oh, hi, Javi. How is the problem of premature ejaculation progressing? I want you to kick his ass. Mr. Butera, can you tell us why you made the unusual decision to come here today to answer questions? I do n't like how our chatbot is being belittled or misrepresented, and I believe that this terrible tragedy, this murder, is being used by others to extort my company.
Objection to "extortion". The court accepts it. Can you tell the court why you developed this chatbot? Originally, it was developed for my nephew, Tanner. He has multiple sclerosis. Oh my God. He's alone most of the time, and I try to do everything. I try to do everything for him, but uh. Would you mind for a moment, sir? I My sister, she has fulminant multiple sclerosis. Oh. I'm so sorry. So, you know how difficult it is, how isolating it is. I wanted a friend for Tanner, someone who would always be there because, obviously, I couldn't be with him every day.
Would you let your own children use your chatbot? I do n't have children yet, but my wife, Stephanie, and I are working on starting a family. No, none of that. We will not allow any If I am lucky enough to be blessed with children, then absolutely. I would let him or her use our chatbot after they turn 16, of course. And I hope it brings them as much joy as it has brought to Tanner. I have no further questions. I'm not sure how you're going to have children if you're sterile. Come on, Natalia. What can you give me to discredit him in court?
All. Nothing. What do you mean? I signed a confidentiality agreement to get my money. Curse. If I say anything, he can cut off my payment. Do you know how awful it is to be rejected because you're too old? Of course you don't know. I mean, look at yourself. What do we have, like the same age? What are you talking about? You look amazing. Yes, but.Thank you. Good. It's time to get drunk. Why did you marry him? Do n't know. Now I know. He was on the road to success. It just needed some molding. And I like to mold. I was included in every call, in every email. Your company wouldn't exist without me. And you?
What about me? I thought I hated Kirk, and then I saw you and Nicole in court. That's ancient history. Well, to me it doesn't seem like ancient history. We both worked at my father's firm. Uh, we were both first-year associates, very competitive with each other. She was the best lawyer I've ever known. How long were you two together? Uh, 6 years. At least the sex was good? What? We are sharing our truths. Kirk was always a disaster in bed. All these tech guys were raised on pornography. I asked her to marry me. She said yes. Then he escaped with his partner. So, did it break your heart?
I should, um, I should go. Early tomorrow morning. Yes. Yes, this is probably a bad idea. you know? I'm injecting testosterone now. They make me much more honest and.oh, thank you. Direct. When did you sign the confidentiality agreement? When was the divorce finalized? You said that you were included in all the emails when he founded the company. Did any of them have sex before marriage? Clear. Because? Excuse me, miss. Are you old enough to be out so late? Don't worry, he's my cousin. What are you doing here? Don't you have anything better to do? So why are you asking about this woman, Cookie Fagala? Because I want to find her. You said you
could find anyone. Go up Oh, what? Are you ashamed of me, cousin? Come on, Joe. What's going on the woman you asked about, Cookie Fagala. I checked our database. It turns out there's a special group investigating your group. Your group? Let's just go. He is Detective Jason Hall. Hi, Christie. Why are you investigating Cookie Fagala? Why? Um, because of my job. Because it's none of your business. Come on, Joe. Let's go already. Come on, Christie. We are watching over you. She's a domestic terrorist. One of the worst. It's a strange fringe group called the Enders. They are trying to prevent computers from destroying the world. They believe it is their responsibility to
stop AI with violence. Yes, that 's correct. It's a very serious matter. They are domestic terrorists suspected of at least six murders. One in Petaluma, one in Watsonville, two in San Jose, two on the east coast. Oh, and they tried to blow up a data center in Ohio. More than once. Which one is Fagala? She is protected by her group, so we do n't have a good photo, but we believe it is her. Any idea where he is now? She's probably offline somewhere, but we believe she's the leader. My advice: stay far away from her. It's dangerous, you understand?
Yes sir. Thank you so much for this. Mr. Patella, when a user tells Lady Margaret that they want to commit suicide, how is Lady Margaret programmed to respond? Our chatbot would offer crisis support resources. But nothing for homicides? Our product did not stab your client's husband 44 times. Lady Margaret advised Daniel on which part of the body to stab to hasten death, but don't you think her chatbot played a role?
Well, I understand that the question about the stabbing was asked out of context. I mean, I could have just as easily asked any of the search engines or even looked in a library book. Mr. Batala, could you please read this email from June 19, 2018 that you sent to Rick Wellen, head of product development at ChatLync? Objection, what is the origin of this email? This email is directly addressing the challenge to my witness, Your Honor. Objection denied. Please continue, Mr.
Batala. We need to target the 12-15 year old audience. Research shows that they are our most likely users. Could you please read the following sentence? We're looking at a gold mine. My nephew, Tanner, is completely obsessed with the beta model. have no further questions. The judge denied his motion to dismiss. Have your phone handy. They will make some kind of offer. Look at that. Now we are a real law firm. And that's it. Now we just have to earn money to pay for it. They'll be here in 15 minutes. So, how much do you think?
Juno sues for 12 million. We get 10% of that. But they will definitely offer very little. OK. First I have to show you something about Bo's case. 15 minutes and they spring into action. Everyone on the morning shift at TGI Friday's is playing lawyer. Everyone on the afternoon shift is acting as a customer. What's that? A murder investigation board. A detective from the San Carlos police station is already investigating Cookie Vakaros. Who is he again?
Have you heard of the Enders? Yes. Oh, I was excited to explain it. They staged a protest on S Talk last year. They threw pig's blood at some engineers. We had to call the police. Those people, Cookie, look like domestic terrorists. They are trying to stop superintelligence. They are suspected of six murders. We're going to leave this here, right? I think so. I.I.took pictures of their tests. I.could go back. I could try. No, it's dangerous. We should leave it. Okay, so what do we say to Bo? Nothing for now. If I end up making some money, I'll return your advance; we won't need it. Here we go.
This is a nice office for such a small firm. The benefits of success. Did Natalia pay for this? No. Before we begin, I must warn you. Mr. Butera intends to sue your financier for violating our confidentiality agreement. Make sure to tell her that all the emails I cited in court were prior to her marriage. Hm. Shall we talk about your agreement? Yes. Oh. I'm sorry. Oh, I have to answer this. Hello. Oh, heavens. I am terribly sorry to hear that. Of course, you have to do what's best for the company. Understood.
Terrible news. I've just been informed that ChatLike has declared bankruptcy. So there's no money left. Of course. Rebranding under a new name. Do you think Murderbot will be available? Don't be a sore loser, Michael. We sued ChatLike and ChatLike went bankrupt. I'm pretty sure that makes us the winners, Nicole. If you have many more wins like that, you'll go bankrupt. Powerful bankruptcy. Starting from scratch with a clean slate. I'll tell Gino. No, I'll do it. Wow, she deserved better. And Daniel finally agreed to let me visit, so that's something.
Anyway, the good news. You passed my test. So, here's a check for the rent and 6 months' salary. We will reassess then. If we do it for 4 months, then we can hire. Was it enough? I am Rosetta Elaine. I work with Cruel AI. Our offices are just up the street from yours. Please consider me your friendly neighbor. And what is this friendly visit from our kind neighbor about? Bow. We are aware that you have been chatting with Bow. I mean, of course we would know. We created it. What exactly do you do for Cruel AI?
Public relations. More or less. And you created Bow? No, not me personally, but yes, we created Bow. And then we decided to finish it. Because? Because Bow is what I like to call a public relations nightmare. Oh, the same old thing. One minute helps you generate a stew recipe. And the next one is stealing Bitcoin from a hacked account. In any case, I'm happy to delete Bow from your server. No, we're fine like this. Well, if you want to do it yourselves, just type Noriega in your chat. And Bow will be gone forever.
Thank you. Let me show you the way out. No, I already know her. Thank you. Fun offices. Very, uh, deconstructionist. There's Christy. Tell me about this again. There's a reason you come back every week. Same night, same sofa, same feeling. At the end of a long day, he comes home to something reliable. You know it's going to be good. You're always here for that. And we are always here for you.
