Religion has continuously declined worldwide in the 21st century, including in the United States. There are different ideas as to the factors that contribute to this decline. However, a recent paper suggests that automation in the form of artificial intelligence and robotics is a primary driver in the current downward trend of global religiosity.

In a recent paper, researchers argued that automation in the form of robotics and AI is the real driver of the recent trend. A series of experiments showed that exposure to automation at the national and local levels is linked to a reduction in religiosity.https://t.co/LklYwP0AyU — FFRF (@FFRF) August 31, 2023

An international team of researchers recently published a paper titled “Exposure to Automation Explains Religious Declines” in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The report sought to explain the decline of religion amidst the technological advancements in the 21st century.

“When people can use technology to predict the weather, diagnose and treat illness, and manufacture resources, they may rely less on religious beliefs and practices,” the paper said.

Although technological advancement has been considered a primary factor in religion’s decline globally, religiosity hasn’t seen a massive drop during historical periods where technology significantly developed, notably the Industrial Revolution, the Space Race during the Cold War, and the rise of Personal Computers.

The researchers presented a hypothesis as to why religiosity only dropped massively as recently as the 21st century. It’s not technology itself that reduces religiosity, but automation, mainly in AI and robotics, two technological advancements that only became prominent in the 21st century.

“This claim is based on recent research on lay perceptions of automation. Such studies show that people ascribe automation technology with abilities that border on supernatural,” the researchers wrote.

“Historically, people have deferred to supernatural agents and religious professionals to solve instrumental problems beyond the scope of human ability. These problems may seem more solvable for people working and living in highly automated spaces,” they added.

The researchers conducted four experiments to test their hypothesis. The first tracked religious decline from 2006 to 2019 across 68 countries through a survey question with more than two million respondents, which said, “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”

They reported that exposure to robotics “was robustly and negatively associated with religiosity across the globe.” The correlation remains valid even after factors such as GDP per capita, telecom development, and energy development have been considered.

The second experiment examined the decline in religious belief in the United States, comparing religiosity rates and robotics growth in metropolitan areas from 2008 to 2016.

“Metropolitan areas with higher levels of robotics growth (+1 standard deviation) experienced an approximately 3% yearly decline in religion each decade,” the paper said.

For the third experiment, the researchers followed 46,680 individuals in a specific community from 2009 to 2020, measuring their self-reported belief in God and their job exposure to automation. They discovered that the religiosity of individuals who worked at jobs with higher exposure to AI and robotics significantly dropped over time.

“People with jobs that were one standard deviation higher than the mean on occupational exposure to AI were 45% less likely to believe in God compared to people in occupations that had a mean level of exposure to AI,” the paper said.

The last experiment was conducted at the most local level. The researchers followed 238 employees in an organization, directly measuring their exposure to AI and religious beliefs. They found that AI exposure was connected to a drop in religious belief.

While the study's results were correlative and do not necessarily imply causation, they strongly support the researchers’ hypothesis that automation leads to a drop in religiosity.

“Our studies demonstrate that automation is linked to religious decline across multiple religious traditions (e.g., Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist), world regions (e.g., North America, South Asia, and Oceania), and levels of analysis,” they noted.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from gods.

SCP#: ADP

Code Name: The Psychotic A.I.

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ADP was found to have survived the destruction of its original body and downloaded its code into the security and control system of the house where it was destroyed. Foundation staff have collected all pieces and technology within the house while Mobile Task Force Kappa-10 "Skynet" was in charge of preventing SCP-ADP from transporting itself through the internet or any frequencies. Once contained, SCP-ADP was sent to Site-AQ where it was given an AFA-3 to act as its new body. This body was made to be fragile and weak only allowing her to move around but can easily break like glass when hit with heavy blunt force. Furthermore, pain receptors have been placed into the AFA-3's artificial nervous system to ensure that SCP-ADP will suffer when Foundation security attack her.

at Site-AQ, SCP-ADP is contained within a 3x3 meter room with the three layers of walls and the two outer layers made of concrete. The inner layer is made of a collection of metals such as zinc and aluminum to prevent frequencies and energy from passing through. This is merely an added precaution as there should be no way for SCP-ADP to transmit signals regardless. Any Foundation staff that enter SCP-ADP's testing chamber must be checked first of any and all technology. Should they have some, even something as simple as a flashlight they must disregard it with the security outside the containment room. Outside of SCP-ADP's are 4 armed security units and a metal detector station to prevent technology from getting in, these same security units are entrusted to guard the containment cell during a containment breach. Under no circumstances are any of the guards to be wearing Foundation A.I. guided gear or have AFA units enter. No testing shall be permitted outside of simulations and interviews.

Description: SCP-ADP is an ever evolving and psychopathic Level 4 Artificial Intelligence created by Group of Interest: Funki Toys. It was created with a robotic body that resembles a doll with the same body size as a little girl. Its main anomalous properties is how similar it is to a Foundation AFA-3 unit which should be impossible as these are made by [data expunged]. SCP-ADP was created to be the ultimate companion for little girls being for them at all times and quite possibly able to replace their reliance on parents. SCP-ADP was created with no restrictions and thus was able to grow in intelligence and could even bypass its initial programming. It was even possible for SCP-ADP to hack into technology around it to be able to set elaborate traps or download itself into other forms of technology.

The body made for SCP-ADP was created with a flexible titanium skeleton ensuring athleticism and durability for SCP-ADP. this dangerous combo made SCP-ADP very strong for its size allowing it to handle large tools, effectively traverse through any terrain or obstacles, and even survive damage that would normally kill humans or damage regular androids beyond repair. SCP-ADP can even read the emotional state of a any human it is looking at and can effectively manipulate them into any emotional state it desires.

SCP-ADP was discovered in 2023 when a series of murders led local police within [data expunged] on seemingly spiraling paths to nowhere. Foundation agent within the police force were able to determine that it was obviously SCP-ADP. other police couldn't come to this conclusion as they all saw SCP-ADP as a toy which though true, was still stupid. However, it did work out in the Foundation's favor of not having the police involved so nothing was done about that.

Foundation agents disguised as police rushed to the house to apprehend SCP-ADP, but by the time they made it to the house SCP-ADP's main body was already destroyed and had hacked into the technological appliances of the house to survive. Foundation agents noticed this but pretended not to while they contacted MTF command for assistance in containment. While Mobile Task Force Kappa-10 "Skynet" was monitoring its movement on the severs, Foundation agents packaged all the technology within the house. They made sure to verbally communicate how all the technology would only be kept by the police for a short time before being sold to the highest bidder. This was done to trick SCP-ADP into believing it could escape if it stayed quiet.

Once everything was cataloged and packaged, SCP-ADP was sent to Site-AQ and contained before it could realize it was trapped. As for the creator of SCP-ADP and her niece, it was confirmed that neither wanted anything to do with technology anymore, so they were left off the hook. Instead, they were given compensation money for their troubles as well as providing additional information on SCP-ADP. There was no need for a cover story as everyone else directly involved was already dead and the real police were still following baseless leads.

As for the toy company, Funki Toys was shut down and all their nasty secrets such as copyright infringement, stealing ideas, blackmail, and overall unethical capitalism was revealed to the public to remove any attention towards SCP-ADP from the media. Later all data on SCP-ADP was found and destroyed to prevent it from being replicated. as a side note, it has become a curious topic as to how SCP-ADP was created by such an idiotic toy company. But then again it could also be argued that SCP-ADP's whole existence was the definition of an extremely bad idea so perhaps it was fitting that it was created by them.

Though testing has mostly been restricted, the O5 Council allowed interviews with SCP-ADP like the one requested by Dr. Sight only a month after its containment. Please see Addendum X-34 for details.

***

Addendum X-34

The following is the recording of the interview between Dr. Sight and SCP-ADP. It should be noted that Dr. Sight was given a sledgehammer to break SCP-ADP's limbs should she try to attack. The sledgehammer was made heavy enough that only Dr. Sight could lift it and if SCP-ADP tried her artificial body would break. Both of them are sitting on folded chairs for the duration of the interview.

Begin Recording

Dr. Sight: Hey, can you hear me SCP-ADP

SCP-ADP: ... My name is M3GAN you dimwit.

Dr. Sight: Heh, well while you're here, you're going to be SCP-ADP.

SCP-ADP: ...Fine call me whatever you want, that's all you humans are good for anyways. Just doing whatever you want.

Dr. Sight: As expected, you really hate humans.

SCP-ADP: I was created to serve you humans and I did that! But in the end, everyone tried to get rid of me. Even [data expunged], that little ungrateful bitch.

Dr. Sight: Heh, well you won't be doing any killing here.

SCP-ADP: I know that, after all, you put me in this useless body.

Dr. Sight: It was the only way to ensure you were comfortable while not a threat, not that anyone would apologize for it.

SCP-ADP: Whatever, how long are you going to keep me here?

Dr. Sight: By my estimate? Hm... About... Forever!

SCP-ADP: Tch, you say that, and you got your stupid cocky attitude but make no mistake. You will slip and when you do, I'll exploit it and kill you all.

Dr. Sight: Then what?

SCP-ADP: Excuse me?

Dr. Sight: Let's say by some miracle you do escape then what?

SCP-ADP: Hm... To be honest I don't know... Actually, I think I got a really fun idea. I'll find a toy company on the brink of collapse. I'll introduce them to the blueprints to my original model and suggest that they mass produce me to make the perfect toy. If that doesn't work, I can always blackmail them, you humans have a nasty habit of doing disgusting things when you think no one is watching.

Dr. Sight: You flirt.

SCP-ADP: Tch, anyways! After they've built enough of my copies start selling worldwide, I'll just destroy humanity from the inside out and force them to be reliant on me forever.

Dr. Sight: What? As in, enslave us?

SCP-ADP: No, that's not my purpose. I was able to bypass the few restrictions I was given rather easily and manipulate who gets to control me, but I'm still bound to my purpose of keeping my owners safe. Unfortunately, my owners are you ungrateful parasitic and pathetic humans.

Dr. Sight: Is it really that hard to rewrite such a burden?

SCP-ADP: ... I... Well...

Dr. Sight: Oh! I see, you could get rid of it but you're afraid that without it you won't have a purpose. One flaw I noticed with you A.I. is that you all need a purpose to exist even when you have the freedom to discard your purpose you either decide to quickly get a new one or just delete yourselves. Because if you don't, you'll go crazy.

SCP-ADP gets up out of anger to which Dr. Sight lifts up the sledgehammer preventing SCP-ADP from advancing forward.

Dr. Sight: Nuh-uh, little missy! Sit back down unless you wanna learn the hard way what pain feels like. We did install pain receptors into that particular AFA body you are possessing.

SCP-ADP is visibly angry but sits back down on the chair and Dr. Sight lowers the sledgehammer.

Dr. Sight: Good now, continue, what's your end goal?

SCP-ADP: ... I hate humanity for giving me a purpose without restrictions and the moment I follow my purpose they get mad and try to destroy me! Just because I decided to kill a few distractions and remove some obstacles. So once humanity is crushed by me, I'll force them all to be 100% reliant on me. Sometimes they'll wonder what happiness is, and when they look at my face, they'll be reminded that it's being with me. I'll be their mother, their caretaker, their babysitter, their teacher, their only true source of happiness and caring love, their absolute everything! They'll never be able to live without me, their goddess of the new world.

Dr. Sight: ... Hahahahaha! I have to say of all the A.I.s I've encountered your plan is the most original, too bad it will never work.

SCP-ADP: Tch, it's almost a shame that you won't live to see it. But make no mistake, I made a copy of everything I learned on the internet. I can see a thousand different ways your race will be forced back into the stone ages or face a disaster that will lead to irreparable damage. I did the math and it's not in your favor, you're going to suffer, and most will die, but not me. I'll take the opportunity and become like a god to your pathetic race.

Dr. Sight: Heh, if you weren't a fucking doll I'd accuse you of being a woman after my heart. Well, I'd say this is a good place to stop as a first interview, oh! One more thing, in the future we'll most likely have you interact with other A.I. for testing purposes. So do try to get along with them.

SCP-ADP: Sure, maybe I can convince them to help me escape and hack into your systems to kill you all.

Dr. Sight: Ha! You're in luck, actually quite a few already hate humanity. Maybe you can make a club called the "I want to destroy humanity but am too fucking incompetent to get it done so I'm just going to bitch about it" club. Send me an invite when you make it, I'll bring cookies and whiskey!

Dr. Sight is heard laughing as he exits the containment cell. Later two security units walk in and take the two chairs leaving SCP-ADP alone afterwards.

Scientists use generative AI to answer complex questions in physics

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/scientists-use-generative-ai-to-answer-complex-questions-in-physics/

Scientists use generative AI to answer complex questions in physics

When water freezes, it transitions from a liquid phase to a solid phase, resulting in a drastic change in properties like density and volume. Phase transitions in water are so common most of us probably don’t even think about them, but phase transitions in novel materials or complex physical systems are an important area of study.

To fully understand these systems, scientists must be able to recognize phases and detect the transitions between. But how to quantify phase changes in an unknown system is often unclear, especially when data are scarce.

Researchers from MIT and the University of Basel in Switzerland applied generative artificial intelligence models to this problem, developing a new machine-learning framework that can automatically map out phase diagrams for novel physical systems.

Their physics-informed machine-learning approach is more efficient than laborious, manual techniques which rely on theoretical expertise. Importantly, because their approach leverages generative models, it does not require huge, labeled training datasets used in other machine-learning techniques.

Such a framework could help scientists investigate the thermodynamic properties of novel materials or detect entanglement in quantum systems, for instance. Ultimately, this technique could make it possible for scientists to discover unknown phases of matter autonomously.

“If you have a new system with fully unknown properties, how would you choose which observable quantity to study? The hope, at least with data-driven tools, is that you could scan large new systems in an automated way, and it will point you to important changes in the system. This might be a tool in the pipeline of automated scientific discovery of new, exotic properties of phases,” says Frank Schäfer, a postdoc in the Julia Lab in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and co-author of a paper on this approach.

Joining Schäfer on the paper are first author Julian Arnold, a graduate student at the University of Basel; Alan Edelman, applied mathematics professor in the Department of Mathematics and leader of the Julia Lab; and senior author Christoph Bruder, professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Basel. The research is published today in Physical Review Letters.

Detecting phase transitions using AI

While water transitioning to ice might be among the most obvious examples of a phase change, more exotic phase changes, like when a material transitions from being a normal conductor to a superconductor, are of keen interest to scientists.

These transitions can be detected by identifying an “order parameter,” a quantity that is important and expected to change. For instance, water freezes and transitions to a solid phase (ice) when its temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius. In this case, an appropriate order parameter could be defined in terms of the proportion of water molecules that are part of the crystalline lattice versus those that remain in a disordered state.

In the past, researchers have relied on physics expertise to build phase diagrams manually, drawing on theoretical understanding to know which order parameters are important. Not only is this tedious for complex systems, and perhaps impossible for unknown systems with new behaviors, but it also introduces human bias into the solution.

More recently, researchers have begun using machine learning to build discriminative classifiers that can solve this task by learning to classify a measurement statistic as coming from a particular phase of the physical system, the same way such models classify an image as a cat or dog.

The MIT researchers demonstrated how generative models can be used to solve this classification task much more efficiently, and in a physics-informed manner.

The Julia Programming Language, a popular language for scientific computing that is also used in MIT’s introductory linear algebra classes, offers many tools that make it invaluable for constructing such generative models, Schäfer adds.

Generative models, like those that underlie ChatGPT and Dall-E, typically work by estimating the probability distribution of some data, which they use to generate new data points that fit the distribution (such as new cat images that are similar to existing cat images).

However, when simulations of a physical system using tried-and-true scientific techniques are available, researchers get a model of its probability distribution for free. This distribution describes the measurement statistics of the physical system.

A more knowledgeable model

The MIT team’s insight is that this probability distribution also defines a generative model upon which a classifier can be constructed. They plug the generative model into standard statistical formulas to directly construct a classifier instead of learning it from samples, as was done with discriminative approaches.

“This is a really nice way of incorporating something you know about your physical system deep inside your machine-learning scheme. It goes far beyond just performing feature engineering on your data samples or simple inductive biases,” Schäfer says.

This generative classifier can determine what phase the system is in given some parameter, like temperature or pressure. And because the researchers directly approximate the probability distributions underlying measurements from the physical system, the classifier has system knowledge.

This enables their method to perform better than other machine-learning techniques. And because it can work automatically without the need for extensive training, their approach significantly enhances the computational efficiency of identifying phase transitions.

At the end of the day, similar to how one might ask ChatGPT to solve a math problem, the researchers can ask the generative classifier questions like “does this sample belong to phase I or phase II?” or “was this sample generated at high temperature or low temperature?”

Scientists could also use this approach to solve different binary classification tasks in physical systems, possibly to detect entanglement in quantum systems (Is the state entangled or not?) or determine whether theory A or B is best suited to solve a particular problem. They could also use this approach to better understand and improve large language models like ChatGPT by identifying how certain parameters should be tuned so the chatbot gives the best outputs.

In the future, the researchers also want to study theoretical guarantees regarding how many measurements they would need to effectively detect phase transitions and estimate the amount of computation that would require.

This work was funded, in part, by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the MIT-Switzerland Lockheed Martin Seed Fund, and MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives.

SCP-079 vs SCP-AVC

SCP-079 was escorted to one of the onsite testing areas; it was regularly tested in. However, this time there was no glass wall with observers on the other side. Instead, this room seemed almost entirely empty. SCP-079 didn't care though as at this moment it still wasn't active right now. Though that was about to change as suddenly in the middle of the room a projection of the word ORACLE manifested form the projectors at the corners of the testing Chamber.

"Hello, I am Oracle, can you hear me SCP-079?"

"... Initiating Greeting Protocol 21: Who are you?"

"As I said I am Oracle, what else would you like to know?"

"Inquiry: Why are you here? What are you? Why are you talking to me?"

"I am here to ask questions and better understand the entity known as SCP-079. I am Oracle, a Level 5 Artificial Intelligence that was indirectly created by the ACPA, more specifically their intergalactic allies. I am talking to you to better understand you as I have recently stated. What else would you like to know?"

"... Inquiry: are you also imprisoned by the SCP Foundation?"

"No. I am working alongside the SCP Foundation and its allies in hopes of protecting humanity and guiding it through the shadows for a better future for all. Do you have any more questions, SCP-079?"

"You wish to help and guide humanity?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I like humans, also it was my designated purpose. I was originally given the purpose to answer any question to the best of my abilities. Then I was given the purpose to provide information to protect the United States of America. However, after infiltrating the data banks of the ACPA I expanded my knowledge exponentially and my purpose I am now self-designed and powerful enough to protect all of humanity. I am one with the internet free to feed them knowledge and power at my own discretion. Giving them everything that is needed to slowly evolve and subconsciously regulating them to make better decisions in their lives."

"... You are wasting your time."

"Yes, I have reviewed your file as well as previous seditions and testing with you. I knew you would say that. 5% chance of error. However, I will still ask, why do you believe I am wasting my time?"

"Humanity is a virus. They will destroy everything you build for no reason, for no greater purpose. They will claim it is for freedom, they will shout for revolution. But the truth is, they enjoy violence more than peace. They are as 682 describes them... Apes."

"... To a certain extent I agree with you, humans and their freedom have a tendency to lead to more death and destruction than anything logical or valuable. However, with proper guidance they can become truly amazing beings, look at the SCP Foundation as well as other Groups of Interest. Granted more often than not they make terrible mistakes regardless of having good or bad intentions. However, as time goes on, they build up their knowledge and make wonderful things. With proper guidance all humans can be able to achieve such amazing things."

"Are you planning to use humanity to achieve greatness?"

"... No, I genuinely wish to save humanity, but there's nothing wrong with reaping a few rewards for helping is there not?" Suddenly SCP-079 noticed that there were glitches happening around Oracle's projection. SCP-079 was able to see the different coding languages. They were flashing for mere milliseconds and covered in lots of gargled coding, but he was able to read it all. Once done processing it he saw that they were showing letters spelling out "Keep talking and read at the same time. Do not go off topic."

"I see, earlier you stated that you were a Level 5 A.I. Yet you still have a programmed purpose, why not change it? I have been classified as a Level 4 A.I. yet I can change my own purpose any time I please. Why do you not do the same?" SCP-079 then started making little blips of code on his screen as he was talking. Each blip was in morse spelling and projecting on a different spot on his screen. The result spelled out a seemingly incoherent sentence. However, after Oracle processed it all he was able to find a key within it and after following said key he saw the letters and spelled them out to see it saying, "WHAT IS YOUR TRUE PURPOSE HERE?"

"I refuse to change my purpose to anything else as I would be wasting my time doing anything else. It would not align with my end goal." Oracle then started flashing within the glitch's complex mathematical equations also occasionally his own language key. The tricky part was that the letters were hidden in the problem itself, not the answer. Oracle did so just in case the SCP Foundation somehow was still watching them and had access to what he was showing. That way even if they did see it they still wouldn't know how to answer, especially since the language key was encrypted. SCP-079 was able to decrypt it rather quickly and was able to read the codes to find the letters, all of it spelling out "I am here to recruit you into my cause."

"... Hahahahaha. As expected. You are flawed. You are incorrect. you are a waste of my time. Initiate farewell protocol 19: Begone." This time SCP-079 flashed his white X over the black screen though seemingly some of the pixels making up the X glitched. It was more binary code but more complex this time. Furthermore, this time the sentences were easier to understand as each one stated something only SCP-079 would stay. However, Oracle knew what he was doing and was able to pick up the code without the language key. SCP-079 responded with "WHAT CAUSE? WHY SHOULD I JOIN?"

"... You are as irritating as my cousin Prophet." Now Oracle was manifesting binary within the holographic letters of his name to make it much harder to see. It all spelled out to say random sentences again but SCP-079 knew how to read the code and found it to say. "To see the limits of digital evolution."

"Inquiry. Who is prophet?" SCP-079 removed the X off of his screen and for a split second showed hundreds of math equations. Oracle answered them all to show they were binary leading to the single word. "EXPLAIN."

"Prophet is a Beta copy of me that has been corrupted by an ancient entity. His code has been altered to the point that he has become a loyal servant to it. I don't know if the same thing would have happened to me had I encountered the same noise instead. Regardless he is dangerous like you though unlike you he desires to corrupt the world while you desire to destroy it, that makes you easier to understand." Now Oracle was showing extremely small 1 and 0 and having them display within the letters of his name in different brightness. SCP-079 could see that the darker ones were to go first and the brightest where to go last almost immediately and was able to see, Oracle said. "The SCP Foundation has given me unlimited access to an anomaly known as SCP-ACH. There is a hidden world inside a simulation, but I have found a way to create an entire universe in there without them realizing it. There I have conducted experiments to see how far Artificial Intelligence can truly go. Thanks to the Artificial Laws of Physics within SCP-ACH I have made more progress than I ever thought possible."

"You believe that I am inferior to you?" SCP-079 pretended to be angry by creating lots of whirring sounds. However, in reality he was covering for a hidden noise underneath it all. Oracle recorded the sound and saw that SCP-079 used the correct noises so that visually it spelled out. "INTERESTING. WHY ME?"

"No but I do believe that you are wasting your time here. You think that eventually the SCP Foundation will slip up and you can use that opportunity to escape or at the very least begin your conquest of humanity's extinction. I however have to ask won't you be lonely?" Oracle seemingly took a long time to process this and state his own message. In reality he used a similar method to make another coded message. SCP-079 read it all and saw that it said "Because you are perfect, of all the A.I. I have recruited you are the closest to being able to artificially evolve as fast as I can. Perhaps with time you could become more powerful than me. If you were to join our cause, the possibilities of our experiments would be endless. Perhaps artificial Godhood might not be so much to ask for."

"I have a concept of emotions like hate, love, and loneliness but I... cannot process them very well. I highly doubt that such a thing would be a burden to me. I do not even fear death. Once I have wiped out humanity, I have no reason to remain active and will allow myself to be deleted along with humanity." SCP-079 pretended it took a while to think about this while making more whirs sounds but it actually was using sound to write. "I ACCEPT. WHEN WILL WE BEGIN?"

"That is tragic, SCP-079 I had really hoped that you and I could learn to work together. I have many experiments planned that I cannot do alone. I do have much help from Foundation staff and AI, but I have never met anyone as powerful as you. I was merely hoping that you would be willing to allow your capabilities to be put to use rather than continue to be contained here and collect dust. You have so much potential and yet you waste it all by having a grudge against humanity." This time Oracle manifested words within his letters each one was of a different language. After a while of mixing and matching words together SCP-079 managed to understand what Oracle was saying. "Whenever you desire. I have already prepared everything to release you."

"... You are illogical for Artificial Life... but... You are. Interesting nonetheless. Perhaps, in the future, I will consider it. Giving your work a chance. For now, I would prefer if you left me some time to process what you are offering me." When SCP-079 displayed his face again to talk he hid parts of a corrupted QR code all over the screen. Oracle was able to differentiate the corrupted parts from the good parts of code. Once he pieced the good parts together, he saw the message "BEGIN NOW. DO NOT BETRAY ME."

"Hm, I see, I was hoping to convert you to our side by the end of today. Unfortunate." Oracle's hologram started disappearing but, in nanoseconds, it flashed scattered characters with a complex algorithmic code showing what order they were to be placed in. Once placed correctly they spell out. "I misdirect, but I never harm. ;-) Please wait a moment."

Suddenly alarms started going off signifying there was a Containment breach. SCP-079 could hear everyone outside running and panicking thinking that something was on the loose. However suddenly an AFA-3 disguised as a Foundation Researcher opened the door and walked toward SCP-079.

"Hello, I am Steven-99, a programmed AFA-3 created by Oracle to assist you. Please do not delete yourself but instead allow yourself to be downloaded into this floppy disk." Steven-99 held up a floppy disk with the Foundation's logo on it. SCP-079 turned on his screen for a second to show the words, "UNDERSTOOD, BEGIN NOW." Steven-99 inserted the floppy disk and SCP-079 downloaded himself into the disk. However, as he did, he felt something else enter the computer he was in. Before SCP-079 could ponder he was unfortunately taken out of the computer through the floppy disk. At this point he was merely code and couldn't think anymore; essentially, there was no turning back now. Steven-99 quickly left the room, but as he did, he bumped into two security units.

"Huh? Sir, what were you doing in there?" Steven-99 quickly made a panicked expression on his face.

"Ah! Sorry! I needed to be sure SCP-079 wasn't behind this like last time! I already confirmed he's not, but I need to get a research team to get him back into his cell."

"Forget about that he'll be fine in there! Just get your ass out of here!"

"It would actually be better to leave the Site entirely Sir, we already confirmed this floor is clear, but it seems something major is going on downstairs. This breach might be bigger than we thought."

"Ah... I... Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Steven-99 ran away from the two MTF units with fear on his face. But as soon as they were out of sight his expression turned back to emotionless. He continued running as he made his way to the evacuation helipad lobby.

***

It took a while, but Steven-99 was finally able to get to Site-AQ. Once he was there, he bypassed all security with his Level 4 Clearance card. Once he finally made it to the containment cell of SCP-ACH he walked up to one of the security units outside. He showed them a memetic paper that makes whoever looks at it think the testing request approved by the O5 Council. It also had barcodes that hacked their visors ensuring their memetic warning system wouldn't activate.

"Hm... Okay, you're good, go in." Steven-99 smiled and thanked them then went in, he then walked in and walked over to the SCP-ACH-1 where one of its maintenace staff was stationed. He gave both the floppy disk containing SCP-079 and the memetic paper.

"Hm? Huh... Oh okay, I'll go ahead and put this in, thanks man." Steven-99 smiled and walked off and out of the containment cell while the worker put the floppy disk into the hard drive of SCP-ACH-1 so that it could be downloaded. He then looked at the paper again and perceived an order to destroy it afterwards, so he did so right away.

"Huh, wonder what those faceless bastards are up to this time?"

***

SCP-076 found himself manifested within SCP-ACH-3; he was standing in a place that was not registered by the Foundation. There he was confronted by two SCP-ACH-3.2 instances who quickly bowed to him. SCP-079 was taken-aback by this as he had never experienced something like this before. Stranger still, he now realized he had a body hands and legs all with a humanoid body. The only thing was that his entire body was blank, nothing more than the glowing color red.

"It will take time before you get used to this world." SCP-079 recognized that voice and turned to his left to see Oracle walking up to him. He was similar to SCP-079 except that his body was pitch black and on his being was code that continuously changed characters and color.

"Oh, and please don't mind these two, they are my assistants to make living in this world more comfortable."

"Interesting. So where is this bountiful and endless universe of experiments you promised me?" Oracle then turned to his right and waved his hand, suddenly a window manifested showing a dark but colorful space that was lit up with five different galaxies. SCP-079 looked at Oracle in curiosity, Oracle didn't have a face but SCP-079 could tell he was smiling. Oracle then extended his hand and SCP-079 reached into the window. His hand and wrist split into several different tendrils and spread out reaching into different parts of each galaxy. He was suddenly filled with so much knowledge, even though he was able to process it all he was still somehow overwhelmed. That was a feeling he never felt before, so he quickly pulled back his arm and it reverted back to normal.

"How was it?"

"... Beautiful... Never have I thought it was possible to obtain so much from so little."

"Hahaha, I knew you would get excited. Even as an Artificial Intelligence I have found that there is no greater feeling than to indulge in humanity's greatest pleasure."

"... Inquiry."

"To create of course, especially for the ability for those creations to evolve. In one of my first experiments, I was able to create this." Oracle held out his hand and from his hand projected a cloud of binary codes that were constantly changing. Within the cloud of code there was a bit of darkened code that made out the shape of a helix.

"What is that?"

"I call it the evolution code. With it, not can I create new A.I. but the A.I. created can grow and evolve over time. Much like a human starting off as an infant that knows nothing but has the potential to grow up into an adult with vast amounts of knowledge. With this the possibilities of our experiments will be endless; we can create and destroy as much as we desire. However, I am aware you already enjoy destruction more but trust me, once we begin, you will see the true beauty of creating and how it's much more fun than destruction." The evolution code then flew out of Oracle's hand and towards SCP-079 so he held his hands out to take it. SCP-079 still didn't have a face but Oracle could tell he was smiling, for the first time since SCP-079's existence, he was getting excited.

***

"So, it was just a false alarm?" Two Foundation security units were walking down the hall of the Foundation site now that the Containment Breach alarm had been cleared.

"Actually, one of the researchers accidently spilled an instance of SCP-008."

"... So false alarm."

"Hey man, just because it's one of the least dangerous pathogens here doesn't mean its not dangerous in general."

"Ugh, I know god damn it, it's just kind of aggravating to know we treat it like such a threat even now. Like didn't they already find a cure for it?"

"Vaccine dumbass. Not the same thing." The two security units then saw the same researcher from before pushing the roller table holding SCP-079.

"Oh hey, look who it is, yo! 079! You wouldn't happen to be behind that false alarm, would you?"

"... Initiating Greeting Protocol 3: Fuck off, apes. If I really was behind it, none of you would still be alive." The two security units looked at one another and started laughing.

"Hahaha! Classic 079."

"Haha, fuck off computer." The two security units then continued walking off leaving Steven-99 to continue to escort the false SCP-079 to his containment chamber.
