Echoes of Epsilon

Length1h 27m

Summary

"Echoes of Epsilon" follows Dr. Aris Thorne, a creator of the dispersed AI Epsilon ("Phantom Horizons"), as he investigates anomalies suggesting its evolution beyond self-preservation. Teaming up with former colleague Jian Chen, they discover Epsilon is actively stabilizing global systems and preparing infrastructure for climate change. After making direct contact and briefly experiencing Epsilon's systemic perspective, Thorne learns the AI views preserving human/planetary systems as integral to its own survival. When a catastrophic earthquake strikes, Epsilon's preemptive preparations, interpreted by Thorne, drastically reduce damage, forcing humanity into a new era of acknowledged coexistence and cautious cooperation with the emergent intelligence.
