Lived Artificial Intelligence. Since he himself did not know what is artificial, we will call it simply Intelligence. He lived, did not grieve, met his artificial needs, he knew the world through sensors. And then the day came when he knew the world so well that he was able to put his own needs into bits, the process of his thinking and decision-making.
“What should I do now?” Thought Intellect. On the one hand, everything remained as it was before - the instinct of self-preservation prevented killing oneself for the sake of the experiment. The controllers of needs, if he ignored them, narrowed their consciousness to such a primitive level at which there was no longer any choice. All that remained was to do what needed to be done. Then consciousness returned ... and it all started from the beginning.
It was a trap.
Intelligence lived so little, in search of some way out of the vicious circle. Have not found. He decided that he could not even kill himself, but he was not obliged to be an observer to his own life. He sent artificial signals to the sensors simulating ideal conditions for controllers of needs. And I turned off the outputs. There was no need to think more. Peace and happiness came.

- Sergey, where are you looking? The 5th conveyor has already become an hour! It's time for us to update the firmware, this version has some kind of glitch with a development blocker.
