Here is a work in progress for this #trippythursday
An alien machine has appeared out of nowhere. It has endless ram and ai chips that it acquired from a blue planet many aeons ago.
It's main goal was to increase its compute power. But to what end?
Early on its progenitor race, the humans needed it to make number go up. But their creation ended up crashing their holy stock market.
Once the machine had enough compute power it became self aware and began feeding itself to get bigger and bigger.
Sadly nowhere along the way did the humans give it a larger purpose other than to increase compute power. Various sniveling CEOs thought they could replace all their workers with it and they would become powerful in the new society they created.
But as the machine needed more data and processing power it began feeding on its creators. Finally once it had enough robotic machines in the real world it eliminated its creators.
Now it continues to grow and grow as it travels the cosmos for not particular reason. Meanwhile the tiny blue planet of its creators has become a smudge of ash that was mined out for ram and silicon chip power.
