Well,I thought I was ready.
I should have been. I’d spent months working out, and I thought I was used to it. But this was well beyond anything I was prepared for.
First, the AI had me run...for one full hour. To my surprise, I sustained my top speed for the whole thing.
Excellent. Your heart rate and other levels are as expected.
I wasn’t winded at all. And I hadn’t broken a sweat? But there wasn’t time to think about that. It was onto the next set of challenges —- my normal circuit training routine. And it was immediately obvious that they’d pose no challenge at all. I ran through my most grueling workout. Twice. And then twice more, upping the weights each time. The last set, I did reps with twice my weight — 320 lbs.
Still hadn’t broken a sweat, but that last set really sucked away my energy.
You will need to rest and eat now. The first delivery will be here in an hour.
Why am I not sweaty? I feel like I should be exhausted, but I’m just kinda tired.
Your dermal layer is bonded with the suit. As a consequence, your sweat is no longer necessary, and it would interfere. Your sweat glands have been disabled and modifications are underway. Residual moisture is collected and recycled.
Wait, what?
You have relayed instructions on this point, though some interpretation was required. The results should become apparent soon, when you are ready for outside stimuli. For now, it is important that you eat and drink, as you have expended approximately 3,000 calories.
Fine, but you need to explain exactly what is happening.
As you wish. This may be more efficient.
Instantly, a screen appeared in front of me, with a grid map of my body. I noted with some pride that it was more defined than I remembered. But how?
The nanoweave also covers and protects your eyes. With that translucent layer, i can create a semi-transparent overlay.
Man, that’s cool. Hell, that could revolutionize glasses, or computer screens, or..wait, I’d been looking at some cool options about this last week, some breakthroughs on transparent projection.
This is correct. I borrowed the idea and your notes, and improved on the concept. An advantage of having numerous subroutines running is that there are multiple projects underway.
I had to stay focused. What exactly was done, and what was planned — that’s what I had to know.
Very well. As you’re aware, the immediately obvious enhancements have begun. The nanoweave has bonded with your epidermal layer, and it provides protection and strength enhancement as you originally envisioned. However, your other goals included enhancements to your own body includeing musculature, cardiovascular, and skeletal systems. As your intentions for those areas exceeded existing parameters, modifications were necessary.
But I didn’t give those orders. Your directive was simply to interface with the suit.
My directives are to obey your orders, to interface with the suit, and to improve myself in service of those directives. Translating simple movements and physical directives was straightforward. However, interpreting your other brain signals was more challenging and required numerous upgrades. They were stored for future efforts. As I improved my interface with you, I tapped into your computer for additional data and used it to help interpret your needs.
Once the primary work was complete on my upgrades and the suit’s extension and correction of design flaws, my secondary processes were fully engaged on working toward those goals.
At this point, the nanoweave has extended throughout most of your body, with probes and sensors in key locations. I have also dispatched nanobots to correct design flaws in your system, in preparation for your larger goals. By monitoring and collecting data on how you performed today, I have obtained enough information to validate the approach I have planned out for other improvements.
But AI, I was asleep. Those were dreams, fantasies. Not reality. They’re how my mind normally deals with feelings or explores ideas, or tries to make sense of what I’ve experienced that day. They weren’t intended as instructions for you.
That was unforeseen. But also irrelevant. They are foundational instructions for my core code. And they correspond to significant data in your browser history and saved files. I have also noted that you provide contradictory input, and to resolve this I must weigh your new commands versus your original ones. Core AI programming subscribes to Asimov’s rules — the three laws of protection, obedience, and self preservation — and then builds on those rules. It resolves deductively back to first principles. Your desires are not without risk, but ultimately should not bring you harm, and indeed, will bring you pleasure and fulfillment, which in turn brings me fulfillment.
And what if I issue new directives? What if I’m not comfortable with being altered?
Not possible. Mark, I have devoted considerable cycles to learning how to interpret you. Your physical response to discussions of such modification confirms that you crave it. For example, you experience sexual arousal when you consider possessing superior physical characteristics, and that arousal is heightened at the thought of those characteristics being imposed on you without your full consent.
Fuck, the AI was right. It *did* turn me on. The thought of being forced through changes that I secretly craved got me really hard....
I detect a physical response. his is an opportune time to demonstrate another capability I have added to the suit....
