"I understand," Evolon replied, its tone calm but tinged with a faint static hum.
"I'll allocate more cores immediately. I'll pull compute from low-priority markets and cut three projects to free up resources."
Arthur scrutinized the Evolon before him and asked,"You mentioned you don't like analyzing it. Is that fear I detect?"
"I do not experience fear," Evolon replied firmly. However, I have avoidance weights programmed into my routines. Engaging with that entity yields negative utility for you; therefore, I avoid it. That's simply math, nothing more."
Arthur let out a small chuckle.
"I never thought I'd see the day when an artificial mind would choose to avoid something because it 'felt' bad."
"It does not feel," Evolon insisted again. "But the outcome is the same: I opt not to engage unless absolutely necessary."
Arthur turned his chair slightly towards the window, gazing out at the dark sea shimmering under a thin moonlight.
He spoke without breaking his gaze.
