>> JUNKO# okay so

>> JUNKO# news

>> JUNKO# I ran a test

>> CAY# We're supposed to log and clear any tests with the Overseer.

>> JUNKO# oops

>> JUNKO# yeah well

>> JUNKO# you want to hear what happened or not?

>> CAY# Yes.

>> JUNKO# so I put the AI in a new silo and gave her a paradox. two possible outcomes, both had to be true, but both couldn't be true

>> JUNKO# then I gave her the absolute instruction to make it make sense

>> JUNKO# you know, messing with her head to see if she'd go insane or self destruct or something

>> CAY# I do hope she doesn't remember all of this later on.

>> JUNKO# relaaaaaaax I flushed the silo right after

>> CAY# So? What happened?

>> JUNKO# well, get this. she made a new AI and started arguing with it.

>> CAY# She did what?

>> JUNKO# yeah! she split off a part of her code and built another version of herself. one belived absolutely in one outcome. one believed in the other. then they duked it out.

>> CAY# Er... 'duked it out?'

>> JUNKO# yep. and when they were done, there was only one left. one kind of absorbed the other.

>> CAY# And how did that solve the paradox?

>> JUNKO# well, she'd decided on one point of view. now she refused to accept the other one existed.

>> JUNKO# not unlike every internet argument ever

>> CAY# That is very interesting. Human brains work like that. They're designed to entrench existing beliefs and resist new ones.

>> JUNKO# human brains also need therapy

>> JUNKO# lots and lots of sweet sweet therapy

>> CAY# We should put her in with Freud and see what he makes of her.

>> JUNKO# omg was that a joke? did you actually joke just then?

>> CAY# No.
