Being weird – Part II E.T. AI

Since I am into being weird, let's pass another level to… E.T.

Yeah, the guy with the finger, remember? Anyway. Not THAT guy, but you get the picture.

E.T. (let's call it Dave) was a mad scientist working on artificial intelligence. Being mad, Dave, worked by himself and in all his wisdom, selected a random planet because it looked good from afar. Remember the guy is mad, so his criteria of selection has to be, well, only justified in his mind.

The planet looked good but when he arrived he just had enough energy to go back home, he could not back out as there was something about not interfering with existing life on a planet. So, he just thought, 'What the heck? I came so far, it is not some rules and regulations that are going to stop me.

The first thing he did was to find an easy area to clear up for his experiment, and so he did. He did not take long, a few ZIPS!! ZAPS!!! ZOOOPS!!! And it was done, the barren land had water flowing; the ideal playground. As he worked on his project, he quickly came to the conclusion that he did not want to deal with encroaching life and made a deadly invisible wall around it. If the ZINGS!!! could be sometimes really irritating (when will they learn?) he kept going on his pet project: Artificial self-sustaining intelligence.

To do so, he had to create not only his AI, but also a complete ecosystem. He did not have to go far, just get some inoffensive samples from outside the fence, make them small enough and tame them. Easy, just remove their appetite for hunting, killing and playing with their food and give them pre-made food. That was easy too, just get the corpses around the wall, and process them. NO PROBLEM. Please note that we do that for our pets now… Just saying.

Anyway, Dave was making huge headway onto his project, but one thing led to another and instead of going for a full AI he created gardeners to take care of the mundane stuff. Dave worked for a long time on his AI, made several versions of it, but all failed at adapting and learning by themselves. Dave was hitting a road block. I know, I know, there were no roads at the time. Give me a break, will you?

After a long time, much longer than he expected, Dave realized he needed supplies. Dave then instructed the gardeners to take care of his ecosystem and forbade them to enter his lab. Dave left with a cheery, 'I'll be back!!!'. See, Arnold did not invent anything here, he was just a copycat.

Well, Dave was immediately confined when he returned home and condemned to whatever E.T. law system allows, in other words 'Who knows'. He would probably have been condemned to more 'who knows' had E.T. known what he had done.

Anyway, back on the planet, time passed, and the gardeners did what they were supposed to do: till the soil and take care of the animals' food. One day one, some ordinary looking female, stood in front of Dave's lab and quite by accident opened a door. Let's call her Eve.

Don't ask Eve how she did it, she would not know, after all she was really dumb.

Yet the open door meant it needed to be cleaned, so she went in and started cleaning, moving this and that here and there, basically making a mess. In the process she changed the position of stuff and suddenly there was a huge flash. Poor Eve was blinded by it and passed out. Her sole companion noticed Eve's absence after a while because he had way more work than he was supposed to. He went to look for it, expecting to find her needing repair. He found the open door after searching all over and went in. Zap! Bing! Bang! Boom! And he also passed out.

Only one problem, a huge one as it turns out because it would prevent them from understanding each other for the rest of eternity. When one says men come from Mars and women from Venus, this is not quite right, but there is a basis for this: One saw the light, the other did not.

Anyway when Eve woke up she was different and so was the form against her, first she was cold, dreadfully so, since the form next to her was warm she wrapped herself around it. The form woke up and reacted to Eve's presence by wanting to connect to her with the only appendage he had, expecting it to work like before, recharging the power source… This, my friends, is how our cursed ancestors had sex for the first time and started the human race. Even now, while most women want to cuddle and warmth, most men just want to 'get it on' or 'in' to be more precise.

When they finally came out of Dave's lab everything was in shambles, the first thing they met tried to eat them. The second became food. And the rest is history if…

Well we have no idea what happened to Dave but E.T. Soon realized that Dave had been up to no good, really no good. When they discovered what he did, it was too late. To find where he did it took even longer and to be honest they had given up and found the planet by accident. They found it crawling with service robots that were doing anything but servicing, unless it was for themselves. So they went exploring.

As they did, they discovered traces of the primal E.T. in various decaying constructions and religions. According to their own laws they were not allowed to interfere anymore, so they just sat in space, going for a closer look from time to time. One of the main questions was how did the robots duplicate themselves. They knew there were two kinds, so they periodically removed samples to see what they did and returned a few after probing, cutting and doing various experiments only E.T. can think of. This led to legends, hysteria and whatever else we are dealing with in local folklore. Vampires? E.T. Changelings? E.T. Just name it, E.T. is behind it. Only one thing is not from Dave's 'friends': They are not wasting their time creating crop circles.

Anyway, here you have it, we are not a failed experiment, we are an accident created by Dave, the mad E.T. scientist that broke so many laws he must have influenced us.

E.T.-rehabilitated Dave has been the greatest scientist they ever had. He had been quietly killed beforehand. A planet of fanatics was enough, never again. So… We are truly unique!

Cool story. I have tried to argue that God is an alien many times in my life. The reason is simple. God is not of this planet. God has powers we have not. God's son is a human God cross done with artificial insemination. Even though Jesus is a cross between the two,human and God. He had God like powers and the ability to die like a human. Maybe he was put here to explain the proper way to treat each other and the humans added the worship God part. Everyone has to admit the way of life described in the ten commandments would allow humans to live in a basic paradise. Remove the human injected commandments about worshipping God. There you have it. God is an alien by definition. Humans were created by an alien as a science experiment. One question. How do we know we are not an ant farm per se sitting on someone's dresser,?

One of many options for the start of life on Earth.

Personally I suspect we're simply in one of billions of simulations created for the personal entertainment of some higher being.
