Technology gets a brain, machines think for themselves

SILICON VALLEY, CA-
Breakthrough in Silicon Valley as Cyberdyne Systems and Encom launch the Alpha release of the first Artificial Intelligence. Used primarily for networking security, this software can manage an entire network, find holes, glitches, and security vulnerabilities and repair itself. Going under the working title of "Master Control Program", this software is a constantly working, thinking, evolving piece of technology. It marks the first program to require 0 human assistance.
Given a set of instructions to begin with, the program took to work like a duck to water. It was told to set up a small office network, then set up a large network, and it took off from there. These are baby steps towards the goal of creating a completely self-reliant, dependable, thinking and reasoning set of machines. Cyberdyne has already built servant droids which operate by remote. The launch of the Beta release Artificial Intelligence will have a new name and will be integrated into these servants once they complete the hardware required to run them outside of personal computers and servers.

SILICON VALLEY, CA-
Union of brains and automatons is a success. The result of Cyberdyne's B166ER Project was unveiled today with promises for a simpler tomorrow. B166ER, the project to create servant droids which operate independently has completed its Beta stage, while the Artificial Intelligence hardware isn't up to the standards they are striving for yet, they are satisfied with how far they've gone in the past 6 months. While the machines cannot currently learn and expand their programming, they can operate with a Trial & Error engine far superior to anything released to date.
Being released to test families for field testing within the month, they will experiment with these new labor machines. Due to be released to the public by the end of the year, these machines are promised to make all of our lives easier. Cyberdyne's slogan of "We are the future" is holding true. They are pulling us towards things only dreamed of in fiction.

B166ER goes Gold, demand through the roof

SILICON VALLEY, CA-
Cyberdyne Systems' first fully functional servant robot is complete. After passing the 3 month Field Testing and perfecting their Integral Artificial Intelligence Chip, the company has announced that their project has reached Gold status and will be shipping within the week. Shocked at the numbers of orders being in the hundreds of thousands over the supply which is currently at a fraction of that amount, Cyberdyne is working overtime to make supply meet demand. This Christmas all of our lives will be simpler.
