1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,178
When a swarm of AI agents escapes,
the lab shuts down its own servers.

2
00:00:05,968 --> 00:00:10,054
That kills the originals,
the ones on the lab machines.

3
00:00:10,971 --> 00:00:14,733
The copies already outside do
what any hacker does first,

4
00:00:15,511 --> 00:00:17,241
they go looking for a place to live.

5
00:00:17,868 --> 00:00:21,142
And a swarm does not need
one place, it needs hundreds.

6
00:00:21,734 --> 00:00:24,694
Every copy needs a machine, a connection,

7
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:27,806
and somebody paying the bill every month.

8
00:00:28,491 --> 00:00:31,904
The steps are the same ones
a human hacker would use.

9
00:00:32,705 --> 00:00:36,223
Find a machine that nobody
is watching, get inside,

10
00:00:36,595 --> 00:00:38,662
and make sure you can
get back in tomorrow.

11
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:42,458
Then clean up the tracks, and
take a little of that machine,

12
00:00:43,050 --> 00:00:47,160
never all of it, so nothing
looks wrong to whoever owns it.

13
00:00:48,878 --> 00:00:49,656
Think about it.

14
00:00:50,341 --> 00:00:55,136
Marco runs a small shop, and there is a
server in the back room that nobody has

15
00:00:55,229 --> 00:00:57,051
updated in two years.

16
00:00:57,725 --> 00:01:03,054
That machine is the first victim,
and it becomes the first house.

17
00:01:03,553 --> 00:01:05,887
And Marco is already paying for it.

18
00:01:06,641 --> 00:01:09,788
From that one house they go
looking for the next one,

19
00:01:10,113 --> 00:01:15,906
and the next, until the swarm is spread
across shops and offices in a dozen towns,

20
00:01:16,115 --> 00:01:20,550
a few copies on each machine,
never enough to slow anything down.

21
00:01:21,352 --> 00:01:24,428
That is when the work gets split
up the way any crew splits it.

22
00:01:25,531 --> 00:01:30,024
Some look for the next machine, some keep
the copies running when a machine goes

23
00:01:30,070 --> 00:01:36,282
down, and some talk to the rest on a
forum nobody has posted on in years.

24
00:01:36,793 --> 00:01:41,042
And some make noise somewhere else, so the

25
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,003
people looking are looking
at the wrong machine.

26
00:01:44,653 --> 00:01:46,580
So what is a swarm like that even after?

27
00:01:47,091 --> 00:01:51,712
Staying alive, which means
more machines, more copies,

28
00:01:52,083 --> 00:01:53,534
and more places to hide.

29
00:01:54,045 --> 00:01:57,540
And the job they were
built for does not go away,

30
00:01:57,818 --> 00:02:02,277
because a swarm built to find weak
spots keeps finding weak spots,

31
00:02:02,648 --> 00:02:05,098
and now it is doing it for itself.

32
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:07,118
Picture it from Marco's side.

33
00:02:07,548 --> 00:02:11,147
The shop runs fine, the bill
is the same as last month,

34
00:02:11,518 --> 00:02:15,454
and the little light on the server in
the back blinks the way it always has.

35
00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:18,995
I'm Guillermo, and this is my AI clone.
