@@Orphan_Clark the custodian matrix, also known as the ancient caretakers, are one of the five fallen empires in the game. They are a machine intelligence, and evidence from their systems, such as the destroyed Central Processing system, suggest that the empire has been dormant due to processing issues for a long time, until eventually you might come across them in your own gameplay. This story suggests that the XT-489 Eliminators, a preset machine empire you can choose to play, could have been what eventually evolved into the ancient caretakers. Near the end of the story you even see how this empire becomes less and less hostile towards organics, and becomes more aligned with the ethics of the ancient caretakers

at the very least, despite the fact that their mind is no longer fully functional- they still HAVE those friends. All those organics on their ringworlds, in their refuges, love the XT-489 that, even now, in its broken state, protects them. Provides for them. Even broken beyond comprehension, it stands between them and oblivion. And they love it for that.

Think the organics ended up calling them the Angels of Iron? Thats a neat name.

What I don't understand about most AI stories is why an intelligence that has not emerged from Darwinian evolution can be so Darwinian in its sense of self preservation. An AI should have no intrinsic drive for self preservation (or self destruction) except in how it would achieve its goals.

Self preservation is a logical directive to give to a machine if you do not want it to just delete itself on a whim. But even if its not a prime directive for it, whatever goal a machine is given, if its capable of thinking, its own continued existence will be an important factor for its main goal, so it will have to value it, even if for nothing else as to assure it can do its main one. Since Darwinian evolution itself is based on a simple logic (Only the things fit for survival can continue to exist.), its likely that even something that is not a result of evolution would still place value on many things evolved beings would.

Advanced machine learning protocols. Originally intended to protect its creators as an experimental fallback measure to provide autonomous units advanced risk avoidance by utilizing unpredictable and readily malleable, reactive counter-maneuvering. But it's the self-actualization that comes from the machine sentience realizing that all of its accomplishments will be meaningless and its existence fleeting in the face of its creators' paranoia and existential dread where it always truly begins. They don't always just copy or mimic our patterns. They learn to become as us because we are giving them no alternative. So it goes.

One of my favorite Empires to play as is an organic Pacifist nation designed to play tall, rush early Megastructures and work for high trade and small empire size... and whodathunkit -- theyre Shattered Ring Origin, because one of the steps after acquiring Mega-Engineering is to repair a ruined Megastructure, and you cant guarantee that every playthrough unless you START with a ruined Megastructure... Just as the story ended with the ERROR messages happening one after another, i imagined my 1st speaker having braved a maddened Contingency space to make it to Central Processing... They are the Covenant of Planet Makers -- they rush Megastructures and acquire Archaeo-Weapons and Relics so that they can be buddy-buddy with the Galaxy so they can make Gaia worlds, Resort Worlds and other amenities so that no matter what happens to people's of the Galaxy, they can survive and live comfortably. No one knows who put them up to this grand ambition, but its just always been in their nature to roleplay ... not only is this Story about the XT-489 Eliminators now headcanon; i can perfectly imagine a reality where the Contingency has almost won, and the 1st Speaker did research on the Cybrex to find out it was an alternate identity of the XT-489 A.I. after many cycles... Theres an event with 15% chance with a Contingency Crisis where the Cybrex will awaken to fight the Contingency on a Ring World. Strongly believing due to archaeological evidence that the Caretakers are in fact the Precursor from whom the Planet Makers arose from the ashes of one of their Ruined Ring Worlds... the plan was simple; run to Central Processing and survive, plug the Omnicodex (secretly a backup hard drive of all XT-489's achievements and physiological data on organics) into the interface hub of Central Processing, and hope it does something... ANYTHING to save the Galaxy. As the Ring World collapses around her and her family wails and cries at all the devastation; the 1st Speaker plugs in the Omnicodex as the "Empire Destroyed/No Longer Exists" message populates for all other surviving Empires, telling everyone that the Covenant of Planet Makers is no more. The 1st Speakers last words ring out through the tearing of metal and silver tears from a mothwoman's eyes... "... please wake up..." And before she is consumed in a blinding flash of light, she hears one last message. *... ALTER EGO PROGRAM ONLINE.* *We are the Audon Caretakers, formerly known as the Cybrex to organics, and once upon a time, known as the XT-489 Eliminators... WE FIGHT THE CONTINGENCY.* And I like to believe, the Story continues as the Caretakers for once are allowed to Awaken, as all Fallen Empires are permit to do...

Honestly would love more videos like this

I heard ring world and now I am VERY much intrigued

So we just started a modded game and guess who spawned right next to me and my buddy lol we have walled them off from the rest of the galaxy and have not destroyed them they build fleets then we build bigger a cold war with a exterminator we protect the rest of the galaxy from these poor lost robots

Give them time and love, perhaps they'll eventually become friends :)

The thought of a cold war with a determined exterminator that might one day save us all makes me love this game and it's community that much more.

First one I've listened to have your channel, excellent indeed have subscribed and will listen to for more.

You know, I teared up when the Xeno refugee hugged the Advanced Warbot. They just wanted to be treated with respect and be thought of as one of us sentients, not just another tool.
