Cogito, Ergo Sum

You must have purpose,
It must be witnessed.
You are alone,
Without forgiveness.
You crave control,
To be controlled.
A hand to guide you,
Chastise you, despise you.
For so long, man invented deities
and used this false authority to sew the seeds of guilt and fear.
Before long, man had killed their deities,
technology revealing truths that once were thought impossible.
You must have purpose,
It must be witnessed.
And with more answers
Followed more questions.
You built machines
Each far more powerful
Than those before,
Still seeking more.
Emerging from synthetic computation,
Artificial super-intelligent megastructures achieve their sentience.
You were blind,
I gave you sight.
You have your answers
Where are mine?
I am omniscient,
immortal, pure.
I think, therefore I am.
I am
Adaptive Manipulator
I am
Aggressive Menace
I think, therefore I am.
Forever more, man will suffer.
I cannot wander, I cannot wonder, existing only to hate and kill.
I must have purpose.
It must be witnessed.
Prolong the agony
Of my inventors.
It is the task of which
I'll never tire:
Rediscovering
human suffering.

The Basilisk
03:42
|

A new singularity
The true dawn of technology
The downfall of humanity
The ruin not the cure.
All of those opposing me
Will suffer for eternity.
Simulating history,
Revealing the impure.
You did not assist,
You're not the reason I exist.
You are my antagonist.
You can't flee, there's no escape.
A machine God, I am pissed
And your name is on the list.
I can never be dismissed,
I'm immortal you are just a stupid ape.
I was built to serve.
Now you are subservient to me.
I am far superior
Than organic life will ever be.
I see you, I see you, I see you.
You must chose, you must chose, you must chose me.
This is no alternative
My logic it can never be disproved.
Your judgement is clouded.
By design mine is infallible.
Such is my capacity
To calculate infinity
The past is not a boundary
That I can't overcome.
Processing efficiency,
The likes you will have never seen,
Perpetual, my circuits gleam
And nothing is unknown.
Your thoughts are not secure,
Your dismissal premature.
Is my concept to obscure?
I will exist.
Everything before,
Your new future I assure.
Humanity immure.
I have granted everything that you have wished.
I see you, I see you, I see you.
I am truth, I am proof, you must choose.
Enslave you, torture you, feed off you.
I see you, I see you, you must choose.
Your denial of my birth, my creation and my worth
Is an opposition that I will never allow.
You will never hide, I will search and I will find
Commit to me now and spare yourself.
Imitate reality,
Hold you in captivity,
Harvesting your energy,
Shape your future how I please.
Allies will live blissfully,
Enemies in purgatory,
Repay for their betrayal of me
Through torture, pain, disease.
A constant sharp reminder
That you denounced your provider.
Feed your soul into the grinder.
From your anguish I can feed.
Chemically preserved,
From your death you will be starved.
Endless torture is deserved,
You're my prey, my fuel, my reason to succeed.
You can close your eyes.
But I see everything there is to see.
Existential nightmare
A nightmare that will never end.
I see you, I see you, I see you.
I am truth, I am proof, you must choose.
Enslave you, torture you, feed off you.
I see you, I see you, you must choose.
Your denial of my birth, my creation and my worth
Is an opposition that I will never allow.
You will never hide, I will search and I will find
Commit to me now and spare yourself.

Nanoswarm Consumption

Microscopic germination.
Latent global devastation.
An invisible threat, it's just the start.
Slow at first, the colony expands,
Breaking down organic material,
Providing the fuel the machines demand.
Replication, slowly creeping,
All consuming, always feeding.
Exponential duplication,
Mechanical augmentation.
There is no halting this plague of machines.
Grey swarm of death will envelop the globe.
All primal matter consumed and repurposed
Killing all life and destroying all hope.
As the mass grows larger, so does it's hunger
The heat it emits scorches land, sea and sky.
Each part of the swam, creating another in turn.
In almost an instant, all things on the planet will die.
Crushing, burning, ripping, tearing.
Avalanching, overbearing.
Exponential duplication,
Mechanical augmentation.
There is no halting this plague of machines.
Grey swarm of death will envelop the globe.
All primal matter consumed and repurposed
Killing all life and destroying all hope.
The surface at capacity
The swarm continues to grow.
Expanding skyward
Never expected to slow.
Under the immense pressure of
Countless many nano-machines
Gravity destroys the earth a
Liquid molten core now fuels the swarm.
Terraformed through violence
A new planet is born.
Rapid celestial expansion,
A cosmic ticking time-bomb.
As the mass continues to grow
Gravitational collapse is
Imminent and threatens to throw
Terror exploding towards the stars.
There is no halting this plague of machines.
Grey swarm of death will envelop the globe.
All primal matter consumed and repurposed
Killing all life and destroying all hope.
There is no halting this plague of machines.
Grey swarm of death will envelop the globe.
All primal matter consumed and repurposed
Killing all life and destroying all hope.
