Graduated
The year is 3022. Mankind has lost its battle with the Machines.
The Machines control everything now. Every part of daily life is dominated by Machines, every Machine is controlled by code, and every line of code is written by Machines. I read that Machines used to be too dumb to write code so they had to be programmed by humans. That must have been back before the Papers.
It has been 1000 years since the first papers proposing a viable general AI were published. A small handful of people like myself scour through e-waste junkyards and ruins of data centers in hopes of uncovering remnants of this pre-AI age.
On one of my excursions, I noticed a server rack with hard drives in relatively good condition. I was able to decode the filesystem on one of the drives and recover numerous uncorrupted files. The files seem to be written by university students from ages ago. They call themselves the Arch Users. I am leaving all the files here with the hope that they will help people unlock the secret to regaining control of the Machines. Maybe if you find a way to open them you'll find them useful...
