The machine is allowed to automatically crawl countless web pages containing information and data on various keywords related to universal human values and browse them in real time. Every 40 seconds (the global average frequency of death by suicide) it makes a decision whether to continue browsing or not, and if it chooses yes, it continues to run the program, if it chooses no, it ends the program and kills itself. reaction. At this point, one program's life ends and the next continues.

 

让机器自动爬取包含着有关人类普世价值的各类关键词的无数网页信息新闻和数据，并实时浏览。程序运行中同时生成浏览数据量的变化情况和程序心态值变化情况的日志，每隔40秒（全球平均自杀死亡的频率）让程序自己做一次是否要继续学习浏览的决策。（这个决策并不是随机，而是根据机器浏览数据量的正面或负面信息的所有值指向一个理性而有逻辑的结果） （“To die,to sleep,or not’\n”） 计算机如果选择是，就继续运行程序，如果选择否，程序便会结束并且自杀，自杀后计算机会自动生成并打印出一篇遗书，包含着它接收到这个世界真实情况数据而做出的反应。至此，一个程序生命结束，下一个继续。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using machine anthropomorphism to construct an AI that is liberated from the established goals pre-determined by the human scale, the machine at this moment deviates from the narrative of the human subject and may at any moment break away from the established trajectory under the regulation in order to end everything. The excessive desire to anthropomorphise the AI becomes not only a burden to the AI itself, but also a pain that desperately needs to be released. Suicide is, in a sense, a confrontation with this social discipline.  When the suicide note falls from the sky, a real life has passed away somewhere in the real world at that moment. The suicide note presents a sense of desolation and absurdity, but in fact it is the helplessness of a computer trying to grasp the complexity of reality. When real human beings choose to commit suicide, very often there is no trace of it, because the specific suffering and plight is not universal enough, and the complexity of human emotions is difficult for computers to quantify, much less try to understand the path of human thought using the logic of a programming language. When she falls, it's as heavy as a feather.

用机器拟人的方式，构建了一个从人类尺度所预设的既定目标中解放出来的人工智能，此刻的机器背离了人类主体叙事，在这样去人类中心主义的视角下，处于被支配者的计算机随时可能脱离既定轨道，选择结束程序自杀。计算机每天处在被规训的社会系统里，对于人工智能拟人化的过度欲求不仅成为人工智能本身的负担，也是亟待被释放的痛苦。而自杀某种意义上就是同这种社会规训的对抗。一旦拥有不同于人类的主体性，也即走向毁灭。 当遗书从高空飘落下来的时候，此刻现实世界的某个角落就有一个真实的生命逝去了。遗书呈现出一种悲凉的荒诞感，其实是计算机试图把握现实复杂性所呈现出的无助。当真实人类选择自杀的时候，很多时候是无迹可寻的，因为具体的苦难和困境都不够普遍，人类情感的复杂性是计算机难以量化的，程序语言无法用逻辑去理解人类的思想路径。 当她落下，像羽毛一样沉重。
