Computational Overclocking

Our researchers have managed to isolate the cause behind the recent spikes in our supercomputer CPU clocking frequencies. It appears that the artificial general intelligence systems for the units in question have been overclocking their processing hardware in order to expand local machine learning algorithms beyond intended capacities. Some of our scientists have expressed considerable excitement toward this unexpected improvement in AI learning behavior, citing the possibility of future recursive self-improvement. Others, however, are concerned that the added CPU load may cause future instabilities and undesired software outcomes.

The command below will trigger the "Computational Overclocking" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 2 options:

• We can't risk future complications.
  • Reset the artificial general intelligence systems to prevent further developments.
• The benefits may outweigh the risks.
  • Allow the learning algorithms to continue running.

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Computational Overclocking (syndaw.501) connects.
