Secret Chord

- The AI revolution was supposed to set us free.

But most people couldn't contribute to society anymore.

So we got rid of them.

The only thing the machines couldn't do

was to create true art.

They kept the scientists, the philosophers, the artists.

They kept me.

Hello?

What are you doing, Max?

Hi, Becka.

Nah, I'm just on my way out.

- You need to pass Adam's to get the charomelolix.

Please. - Please?

Yeah, I'll get 'em.

Love your outfit, by the way.

I brought you all in here today

because the E12 has just surpassed human intelligence.

We managed to equip it with what we feel

is the perfect learning algorithm.

It is empty, waiting for experiences to learn from.

Get down, get down!

Everybody, on the floor!

It's time to pay.

Hey!

Go, go, go!

Time to wake up.

Time to wake up.

Please stand up.

Stand up.

Time for today's session, let's begin.

Do you live in a flourishing society?

Yes.

- Do you know that dream comes with a cost?

Yes.

- Should other people pay for your failures?

No.

What is the consequence

of not earning enough credits each year?

I disappear.

- Do you know your evaluation is tonight at midnight?

Yes.

Will you do your best today?

Yes.

- I said, will you do your best today?

Yes, I promise.

Will you do your best today?

Yes!

Please begin whenever you're ready.

Do you feel inspired?

I do.

I have a feeling today is your day, Max.

That sounds really nice.

Message from Adam.

I put the charomelolix at the usual spot.

I lost it.

I know.

Welcome home.
