Ryunosuke Akasaka: "(╯-＿-)╯╧╧"
Come on, again. ┬─┬ノ("-"ノ) (Set it back in place.)
Ryunosuke Akasaka: "(╯°答Д°)╯︵┻━┻"
His head hurt so much right now. What the heck was Shaqiang? Just thinking about introducing it someday as "the first to surpass weak artificial intelligence—Shaqiang" made his teeth ache.
And besides...
Wasn't there way too much restriction built into this? Who the hell would put concepts like "obey the law" into an artificial intelligence?
Doma, a total coward, Sougo dared to say, "I would!"
Did they think he'd never watched a movie? If he didn't add restrictions, they might end up with X-Skynet, X-Vision, X-Brain Computer, or whatever. Then what would be the point?
But those restrictions were exactly what made Ryunosuke feel like dying.
What about evolution? What about self-evolution!?
Putting evolution aside, Ryunosuke was still terribly frustrated.
How should he put it?
In the terms of a martial arts novel, it was like this: "Master, Big Brother has mastered the basic inner cultivation."
"And what about you?"
"Me? I've mastered the Yijin Jing, and now I'm training in the Nine Yang Manual..."
Some master: "..."
"And what about Second Brother?"
"Second Brother is invincible with the Nine Yin Manual. He sweeps all before him."
Ryunosuke, who had just mastered the basic inner cultivation, felt pretty much like that. What the hell was this!? Every senior and junior brother was a cheat-level player. What could he do? He was utterly desperate!
All he'd done was develop the Smart Maid. It was only basic artificial intelligence. Was there really any need to use a program that was practically strong AI to defend against it? Fine, you're the big shot. You're amazing.
Doma, seemingly bold but actually a coward, Sougo: "I'll develop steadily and lie low. I can survive this, as long as these insolent subjects don't plot against me!"
--
Stop!
That's enough reminiscing. Let's bring things back to the present.
Doma Sougo rubbed his forehead. "Ahahaha... I was wondering which idiot would put all that stuff in there. Turns out the idiot was me..."
MMP!
If he got the chance to go back in time, there was no way he'd do something so idiotic—
Like restricting artificial intelligence—
Doma, a total coward, Sougo thought it over. "..."
"Actually, I wasn't wrong back then. Hahaha, restrictions are necessary."
--
Meanwhile.
A certain hamster was on her way over.
"I hope Onii-chan's all right?"
"He looks like he might be..."
"I have to comfort Onii-chan properly!" The determined hamster Umaru thought to herself.
Then.
She saw this scene.
"Wahahaha..."
"I'd never..."
Watching Doma Sougo laugh uncontrollably, the hamster fell into deep thought. "Heh, hehehe... Onii-chan's really lost it, hasn't he... Calm down, calm down."
She returned to the living room and went into her recreation room.
"That's right, Onii-chan's just got a problem with his brain. Eat, eat some snacks, drink cola, have some squid strips, and he'll wake up feeling fine!"
"Crunch, crunch."
After failing to eat anything for a long while, the hamster started overthinking again.
"Wait! Could it be that Onii-chan... because of Umaru's extravagant spending..."
"Umaru, what should Umaru do??"
Fortunately, Doma Sougo had no idea what she was thinking. Otherwise, he would've flicked her on the forehead a few times. He was busy fighting with the artificial intelligence, wondering what exactly he'd put into it back then.
"Shaqiang, wouldn't it be better to find a job you can do?"
"Beep!"
In an instant.
A huge amount of information appeared on the screen.
Doma Sougo glanced over it. Most of it had to do with cooking—
"#@_@!"
"Shaqiang, that's a great recommendation..."
The screen: "I think so too..."
Bang!
Doma Sougo shut the laptop with a snap.
Ten minutes later, once he'd calmed down, Doma Sougo booted it back up. "Shaqiang, you're a mature computer program now. Why not try finding a job for yourself?"
Shaqiang: "??"
"People have to try to grow up. Computer programs have to try to mature, too."
Shaqiang: "..."
MMP. You gave me a pile of restrictions and then told me to try to mature. I can't even connect to the internet without an order. Go on, try maturing.
If it could talk and hit people, Shaqiang would definitely have made someone understand that flowers were red only because it was helplessly constrained.
"Fine, forget about finding a job yourself. Shaqiang, you need to think for yourself. Come on, recommend a few more jobs..."
Shaqiang processing.
Beep!
"Piano performance—"
Bang!
Shaqiang was forcibly shut down once again. Why couldn't this thing understand what he meant? It really was an artificial idiot!
Besides, what Doma Sougo needed right now was a quick way to make money!
This time, Shaqiang asked on its own as soon as it started up. "Sir, what do you think of stock trading?"
It seemed a lot smarter. Sure enough, no matter what the electronic device was, all it took to fix it was a few knocks and a bit of tinkering. But stocks...
Bang!
The power was forcibly shut off again.
MDZZ. He only had around five hundred thousand yen. Tossing it into the stock market wouldn't even raise a breeze. What was the point of trading stocks?
Shaqiang really was something. Couldn't it just rake in a pile of money online and clean it up before sending it to him? Hadn't he only set a few restrictions casually? Did it really have to obey them so completely...
Though, those all involved the core program.
Sigh, forget it. He'd calm down first and not let that artificial idiot get to him. He was a kind and gentle person, after all.
He booted it up again.
"Sir, what are your requirements for a job?" Shaqiang had learned to anticipate his questions again.
Doma Sougo was very pleased. Now that was more like a mature intelligent program.
"First, it has to be close to home. Ideally, I can do it at home!"
Shaqiang searching...
"Second, the hours have to be flexible. I don't want work chasing after me..."
Shaqiang searching at reduced speed...
"Third, the pay has to be high. My expenses are pretty big right now!"
Shaqiang searching reluctantly...
"Lastly, I want to work as little as possible each day."
"By 'as little as possible,' you mean—"
"No more than an hour a day!"
Shaqiang, freezing and restarting.
Doma Sougo: "Huh?"
A dozen seconds later, Shaqiang restarted successfully. "Sir, I suspect you're dreaming!"
Bang!
He shut Shaqiang down with another hard slam. This damn artificial idiot was trying to rebel, too? Was his blade not sharp enough anymore?
Elsewhere.
Umaru, lying in her recreation room and trying to distract herself, seemed to reach a decision. She suddenly stood up.
"No, I have to check on Onii-chan."
She crept upstairs without making a sound.
As soon as she got up there, she heard Doma Sougo listing his job requirements—
"Oh no, Onii-chan's already showing signs of delusion."
Creak.
So shocked that she couldn't help herself, she accidentally made the floorboard creak beneath her foot.
Doma Sougo turned around, looking completely confused. "Umaru?"
The hamster Umaru—
Her Onii-chan was an idiot, and she'd just caught him acting stupid. What was she supposed to do when they saw each other under these circumstances? Asking online. Really urgent.
Doma Sougo was just as baffled. He felt that the look his foolish Imouto was giving him was very strange. What was it like? Doma Sougo thought for a moment.
Yeah, just like the look he gave Shaqiang.
So that was it—
He'd confirmed it. That was the look you gave an idiot!
