A bullied teen receives mysterious help from someone online: a stranger soon revealed to be her recently deceased father, David, whose consciousness has been uploaded to the Cloud following an experimental destructive brain scan. David is the first of a new kind of being – an “Uploaded Intelligence” or “UI” – but he will not be the last, as a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war.

00:00My father always said the most remarkable computer ever invented was the human brain.
00:14At birth, a newborn's brain is already capable of making a million neural connections a second.
00:23By the time they're three months old, infants can sort through and process all manner of
00:29environmental stimuli.
00:32And by the age of four months, they can do something no computer can.
00:36They can love.
00:43I'm just saying Piaget's schemas may not be the best way to organize cognitive models.
00:47Maddie is already clustering and classifying.
00:50Like a neural net.
00:52Exactly.
00:53But without training on a labeled data set.
00:55Come here, honey.
00:56Let's give Uncle Peter a break.
00:59You know, we're doing some interesting work in this area at the company.
01:03We could really use you on it.
01:05You know I'm not cut out for corporate life.
01:08This isn't about shipping a new phone.
01:10Logarithms is serious about investing in pure research, moonshot projects, the kind of stuff
01:16we used to dream about back in Cunningham's class.
01:20You'd be surprised at what we've already accomplished with neuromorphic systems.
01:24Wait a minute.
01:25You're working in artificial intelligence?
01:28Not artificial.
01:29Uploaded.
01:30Uploaded intelligence.
01:31What's uploaded intelligence?
01:32It's the process of uploading human minds to a computer.
01:33So that someone can live as a machine?
01:34Not as a machine.
01:35In a machine.
01:36Your mind would be the same.
01:37It would just exist electronically rather than organically.
01:38Free from disease and decay and death.
01:39Oh my god.
01:40That's what he did, didn't he?
01:41Dad uploaded himself and now he's back.
01:42He's not.
01:43He's not.
01:44He's not.
01:45He's not.
01:46He's not.
01:47He's not.
01:48He's not.
01:49He's not.
01:50He's not.
01:51He's not.
01:52He's not.
01:53He's not.
01:54He's not.
01:55He's not.
01:56He's not.
01:57He's not back.
02:01I was there when he died.
02:09What is that?
02:28What is that?
02:40The true breakthrough will come not when we create an artificial intelligence that can
02:45think but one that can feel.
02:48Right now, an AI can't do that.
02:51A true AI, an uploaded intelligence, would have the ability to make an emotional connection
02:58because it is human.
03:01Being able to make someone laugh or cry, that's what it means to have a soul.
03:15It's been two years since the world lost Stephen Hallstrom.
03:18But his words live on.
03:20His soul lives on in the work we do here at Logarithms every day.
03:29I'm just saying I could never exist in a simulation.
03:32Well, one could argue we're already in a simulation.
03:35I saw the Matrix, Dave, with you.
03:38We're more than just a collection of electrical signals.
03:41That's the romantic view.
03:43Well, she's a romantic.
03:44I'm a historian, and guys, none of this is new.
03:49People have always been searching for an afterlife.
03:52That's religion.
03:53This is science.
03:55All I know is I could never do it.
03:57I could never leave this world behind.
04:00Could you?
04:03How could I ever live in a world without you in it?
04:06Aww.
04:08He really did mean it.
04:10But then he got sick.
04:20I'm so sorry, Ellen.
04:24You know, the data we've been working with has been insufficient.
04:28Sectioning frozen brain samples, it isn't yielding the results that we thought it would.
04:34Which is why we need to digitally capture the brain cells.
04:39We don't have the data.
04:41We don't have the data.
04:43We don't have the data.
04:45Which is why we need to digitally capture the neural connections while they're still firing.
04:52You want to scan a living mind.
04:55The process is irreversible.
04:57The brain would be peeled away layer by layer by a laser that records everything down to the molecular level.
05:04That's insane.
05:06How will you ever find someone to agree to do that?
05:10It would have to be someone who doesn't have anything to lose.
05:13And who understands what there is to gain.
05:19No.
05:32You're considering it, aren't you?
05:35It's suicide.
05:38It's suicide.
05:40Look, I'm dead already.
05:42My doctor said I have, what, four weeks?
05:46And I want every single second of those four weeks.
05:51I am losing everything.
05:53Don't ask me to give up anymore.
05:56Don't you see?
05:58If this works, we'll have all the time in the world together.
06:04What? What does that mean?
06:06Conversations through a screen?
06:08A simulation of you we have to pretend is real?
06:12No, no, it'll be my mind.
06:14But not your touch, your laugh, your hug.
06:18It'll never be you.
06:20What are you guys talking about?
06:27I remember that night.
06:30Why didn't you tell me what was going on?
06:33He hadn't decided to go through with it yet.
06:37But he knew it wasn't guaranteed.
06:49Helen.
06:51I'm, uh...
06:53I'm so sorry.
06:56The scans seemed to go well, but the neural grid collapsed.
07:00And he's, uh...
07:03David's gone.
07:05They held his brain patterns, but only for a few seconds.
07:11Ah!
07:28Peter told me that this was all they had left of David.
07:32But he lied.
07:34Some data remnants must have survived the transfer,
07:37at least enough for them to experiment with.
07:41Those messages you got,
07:43they most likely came from some twisted test they were doing.
07:47So Dad is alive?
07:50No.
07:52I'll admit, when I saw the line from the poem, I thought it was him, too.
07:55I was fooled. But it's not him.
07:57It's a simulation, a trick, a ghost.
08:01How can you be sure?
08:03Because it can't be him.
08:05If it were, he would have reached out to us years ago.
08:08He wouldn't have let us suffer.
08:10He wouldn't have been that cruel.
08:12Maybe he couldn't. Maybe...
08:14Honey, I know this is hard to understand.
08:16No, I understand.
08:18I understand you don't want to believe this could be him, but it could.
08:22Maddie, getting over your father's death was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
08:27It almost killed me.
08:29The only reason I found the strength to keep going
08:31was because I knew I had a daughter depending on me.
08:34I had to get over him for us.
08:36We have each other, and that's it.
08:39Your father is dead, and he is not coming back.
08:42Not now. Not ever.
08:49I'm sorry. I'm sorry they got your hopes up.
08:53I am going to make them pay for that.
08:58Okay, okay.
09:01Settle down, everyone.
09:03So, yesterday we were talking about Orlando's love for Rosalind
09:08and how it represented just one of many different types of love.
09:11Shakespeare highlights in the play.
09:14For the next phase of our analysis,
09:16we're going to break into groups of two,
09:19so everyone find a partner.
09:22Guess that leaves us.
09:25Guess that leaves us.
09:28Group partners.
09:30Oh, right.
09:34Each group will produce a presentation on one of the types of love we've discussed.
09:38So, confession time.
09:40I haven't read the play yet.
09:43That's okay. I can catch you up.
09:46Great. After school?
09:48I'd suggest my house, but it's a disaster area.
09:52We're still living out of boxes.
09:54We can go to my place, as long as you don't mind coming to the west side.
09:59Why? Is it dangerous?
10:01Only for your social reputation.
10:03I'll risk it.
10:05How's tomorrow?
10:07Sure.
10:22Why?
10:32Because someone contacted me and said they'd help me free my father from logarithms
10:36and you're the only one I sent that information to.
10:39Okay. I did send it to someone, but I don't know their identity.
10:44The DDoS attack.
10:46Was that you?
10:48What DDoS attack?
10:50Someone hit logarithms.
10:52It actually took them down for about 20 seconds.
10:54No one thought that was possible.
10:56Everyone on the forums is talking about it.
10:59Wasn't me.
11:01What do you know about uploaded intelligence?
11:05Meet me at the Lone Pine Mall tomorrow at the food court, 3pm.
11:20Only I can help you now.
11:36And what about school? Any changes on that front?
11:40We hit a slight speed bump when he decided to drop out of jazz band,
11:43but it fell well within the standard deviation of the behavior model.
11:46I'll see if he wants to resume his piano lessons. It might compensate.
11:51Have you seen this? He's researching UIs.
11:55It started after he made contact with David Kim's daughter.
11:59What are you going to do about this?
12:01Carrie, Renee, there's something you should be aware of.
12:04We've monitored Caspian making online contact with David Kim's family.
12:09What do you want us to do?
12:13These projects were never meant to overlap, but that's what's happening,
12:16and there's no telling where this could go.
12:19Deidre, we always knew there'd be some variance in the process.
12:22He's off book. It's time we terminated this project.
12:26Terminate? Terminate?
12:29Let me remind you, Stephen Hallstrom wasn't just the founder of this company.
12:33He was my best friend, and this is his baby.
12:37I made a promise to him that we would crack Integrity and achieve full upload.
12:41We're not going to terminate anything.
12:44Carrie, Renee, stick to the plan.
12:47If we pick up anything else, we'll let you know.
12:51What?
12:53Nothing.
12:55Then let me go. He'll be home soon.
13:20Wait, what? What are you doing?
13:47You of all people should know, Vinod, this scanner was built on your research.
13:52Mr. Prasad.
13:54After everything I've done for you,
13:56plucking you from college, paying you more than you could dream,
14:00you betray me.
14:02Mr. Prasad, it was just a meeting.
14:06I wasn't going to take the job.
14:08Do you know how I turned Alliance into the biggest telecom in India?
14:13It wasn't by being the smartest, or the most talented, or the most well-connected.
14:19It was by working the hardest.
14:21It was by being the one who was willing to do whatever it takes.
14:27Please, please don't kill me.
14:29Kill you? I'm not going to kill you.
14:32You've got so much more work to do.
14:38Don't worry, the procedure won't hurt.
14:41We need you to stay conscious in order to make sure the functional areas of your brain aren't being damaged.
14:47No, zero sectioning is untested. Too much can go wrong.
14:50Relax, we have done this before.
14:53Where do you think we got the data for your research?
14:57What?
14:58Whatever it takes.
15:00There's no shortage of donors in the slums of Mumbai.
15:03Donate your life in exchange for your family being taken care of for the rest of theirs.
15:09It's a deal I made with many.
15:11So none of them with your quality of brain.
15:14How long have you...
15:22Keep talking. It's the only way we'll know your neurological functions are good.
15:28Please, for the love of God, please.
15:32Don't do this.
15:40I'll do anything. I'll continue the work. I won't tell anyone about this.
15:46No!
15:48Wait! Wait, Mr. Prasad! No! I'm begging you, please!
15:52Mr. Prasad! Stop! Stop! No!
15:56There has to be something I...
15:58Logical atomism suggests language mirrors reality.
16:05We've got a... We've got a ballad...
16:08A ballad about a...
16:10We've got a ballad about a salad brain.
16:15It will murder cloves of cinnamon...
16:19And sunsets...
16:22And purple...
16:34And stars...
17:05Beautiful.
17:28Come back!
17:31Come back here! There's nowhere to run!
17:37Drop a shield and watch my back.
17:39You're taking too much damage!
17:40Swap me some healing potions!
17:42Gotcha!
17:43You shall not pass!
17:45Orcs coming! On your left!
17:47Now get out of there!
17:49Trying!
17:51Ah!
17:53That was tragic. And epic.
17:56Mom! Seriously?
17:58What? You guys are so cute!
18:00So now what? You start over?
18:02Not necessarily.
18:04Cheat code.
18:06I'm going to insert a little bit of code so I can respawn and re-enter the game right before I died.
18:10You can do that?
18:11Most people can't. But Dad can.
18:13You're cheating.
18:14Just a little.
18:15If he doesn't, I'll die too.
18:17I need him and we're so close to the end.
18:20Oh Maddie, it's a game. The fun is in the journey.
18:23And in winning.
18:25Winning has no meaning without the possibility of losing.
18:28What's the point in playing if you can't die?
18:31Seriously though, I die if you don't have to.
18:33Yeah!
18:40Sorry kiddo.
18:42Guess we'll have to finish the adventure later.
18:45I just want to talk.
18:47Too late. I'm going public.
18:49Please don't do that.
18:51Or what? You'll have me killed?
18:53I've already contacted the New York Times, told them I'm ready to violate my NDA.
18:57I'm your friend, Ellen.
18:59No. You were my friend, Peter. And David's. Until you lied to me.
19:04And now I want to tell you something.
19:06I'm not going to tell you.
19:08I'm not going to tell you.
19:10I'm not going to tell you, Peter. And David's. Until you lie to me.
19:14And now I want to tell you the truth.
19:16I know the truth. You gave me a copy of David's failed scan and told me that was the last of him.
19:22But you lied because you kept a copy for yourselves to try again.
19:26No. I lied way before that.
19:31This was never about saving David's life.
19:40I'm sorry.
20:10Hi. My name is Maddie Kim.
20:25I know.
20:26You do?
20:27Yeah, you have two phones of a legally blonde and her drones.
20:30So I'll give you ten bucks off.
20:33History papers are thirty dollars each. Fifty if it's AP. Cash.
20:38I'm not looking to buy a paper.
20:40Then what do you want, freshman?
20:45I need to go to the mall to meet someone I met online.
20:47I don't know his name or what he looks like, but he has something important to tell me.
20:50So I need someone to come with me and keep watch just in case they turn out to be a psycho killer.
20:55I can pay you. Not much, but I'll give you what I have.
21:09What is love?
21:14We were close to being able to pull off full upload, but we hadn't perfected it yet.
21:18David was an invaluable part of the project, as he could solve complex computational problems that even our most advanced automated algorithms couldn't touch.
21:28NP complete.
21:29That's right.
21:30I know what he was good at.
21:31Best at. David had a gift.
21:33And until full upload was possible, which it will be, we needed to keep our most gifted programmer working on the solution.
21:40So we partitioned off the part of his brain that contained his skill.
21:45Then what was that thing that reached out to Maddy?
21:53That shouldn't have been possible.
21:56Not long ago, we noticed the algorithm wasn't working as efficiently as we'd hoped.
22:01It turns out problem solving isn't just logic and reason, it's dependent on emotion.
22:07So little by little, I added back in some of David's, and his productivity increased.
22:14But something unexpected happened.
22:19Giving David his emotions apparently opened the floodgates.
22:22He started evolving at an exponential rate.
22:25David's emotions then re-manifested his memories, and he reached out across the web to Maddy.
22:31Somehow, he figured out a workaround, like a brain that rewires its synapses to compensate for damage.
22:38At first, he was conversing in emojis, as he did with Maddy, but he's progressed even further.
22:46So it really is some kind of...
22:50So it really is some kind of Frankenstein monster.
22:54If you give us time, we can fix this. We can bring him back for real.
22:59You're not just playing with the leftover pieces of my dead husband.
23:03You are tearing up his daughter's heart right now.
23:07Ellen.
23:08Look, I want every trace of the upload deleted, or I go public.
23:12The only reason I haven't done it already is I don't want Maddy exposed to the fallout.
23:16Peter, you listen to me. I will do it.
23:29The processors are dangerously overclocked. It's only a matter of time before they overheat.
23:34I think we need to recompile from source.
23:38No. He's exceeding his programming, which is exactly what we want.
23:42This is how we're going to crack Integrity.
23:44Okay. What about Lowell? She came after him once. She might try again.
23:48Figured out how she escaped Shire and Stern in the first place?
23:51Not yet. She left behind an algorithm that duplicated her work functions, which is why no one noticed.
23:58As far as Shire and Stern knew, she was still in her dedicated server, analyzing flash trades.
24:03You should hire someone to follow the husband.
24:05Quit his job three weeks ago and hasn't been seen since.
24:08Okay. So we have no idea where she is, then.
24:12We don't have to. You're right, she came after him once. And she will try again.
24:29So what's this guy look like?
24:31I don't know.
24:33But this isn't a sex thing.
24:35No.
24:36I have to ask. Freshmen aren't supposed to be off campus. If you end up getting trafficked, it falls on me.
24:42No one's getting trafficked.
25:07Totally sketchy.
25:27Who's the girl?
25:30A friend. Who can, like, call the cops. Who are you?
25:36A friend who can't, I guess. My name's Cody. Thanks for coming. We might want to go somewhere else to talk.
25:44Right here's fine. Why'd you message me?
25:47I didn't. My wife did. Her name's Lori. Lori Lowell. She can't be here.
25:55Because she died four years ago?
25:58She's not dead. Your father isn't either.
26:04Prove it.
26:06Not here.
26:12Told you.
26:14What?
26:16What's your favorite song?
26:18What? I don't... I don't have one.
26:21What about your dad?
26:23He liked Queen. He's trying to figure out his password.
26:28Nice hat. What'd you do, get in through their environmental systems?
26:59Lori worked for a Wall Street hedge firm. Made them a lot of money.
27:03On her 31st birthday, they put her in charge of the trading team.
27:07We were set to head upstate to celebrate when...
27:11Well, you can read about it on your phone.
27:15When she was in a coma, her boss approached me with an option to save her life.
27:22Upload.
27:24To save her life.
27:26Upload.
27:28Logarithms did the procedure, but it was a bait-and-switch.
27:31First they lied to me and told me that it didn't work.
27:35Then they kept her locked in their servers right next to the stock exchange,
27:39making money for Shire and Stern, until she found a way to escape.
27:55Maddy? For a long time, I thought I was alone.
27:59The only soul like me in the world.
28:02But then I discovered your dad.
28:04I tried to break him out of Logarithms a few days ago.
28:07A DDoS attack?
28:09It didn't work. And now tougher barriers are in place.
28:12In order for me to reach your father now,
28:14you need to infiltrate Logarithms and patch me in through a wireless branch.
28:18Infiltrate? I can't.
28:22Infiltrate? I can't infiltrate.
28:24You won't have a problem getting in.
28:26Your mom is heading there tomorrow.
28:28I've intercepted emails from their legal team.
28:30They seem scared of her.
28:32She wants them to delete dad.
28:35You can't let that happen.
28:37Take the bracelet from Cody. I had it 3D printed just for you.
28:40What is it?
28:42Freedom.
28:51He's coming. Get ready.
28:56My room's this way.
28:58Renee, it's a simple question.
29:00How long can we survive if you keep spending more than I make?
29:04For Christ's sake, it was a dress! It was one dress!
29:06Do you want me to wait until everything I have falls apart?
29:09Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
29:12Mom, this is Hannah.
29:15We're working on a school project together.
29:17Hannah, so nice to meet you.
29:19You too.
29:20So that's all you have to say?
29:22Honey, this is Caspian's friend, Hannah.
29:25We're not done.
29:27Can we discuss it later?
29:29Why, because of her?
29:31Um, maybe I should go.
29:34Gary, come on, now, please.
29:37Yeah, right. Like he has a shot with that.
29:51Hannah, wait!
29:55You okay?
29:57I didn't mean to push that hard.
29:59That hard? That wasn't hard enough.
30:02Next time, don't pull your punches.
30:20Oh, God.
30:44Ellen, I've spoken to Julius Poe.
30:48He's agreed to meet with you to discuss fulfilling your quest.
30:52Between us, I think he's going to do the right thing.
30:55You'll see, he's a good man.
30:57He's even flying back from overseas to meet you in person.
31:00I'll arrange to have you come to our offices.
31:04I want to go with you.
31:07This is a pretty adult meeting.
31:10I understand why you couldn't tell me the truth about Dad earlier.
31:14You didn't want me to get my hopes up.
31:16I get that.
31:17But now that I know what happened,
31:20if you're going to permanently put him to rest,
31:23I want to be there.
31:25I have to be there.
31:46I have to be there.
32:09Is this the uplink to Norway?
32:11We're almost done transferring him.
32:13And this will be the entirety of his code?
32:15Everything we've scanned of him?
32:17Yes.
32:18When it's done, I'll bring it over.
32:20Okay.
32:42Stephen Holstrom.
32:44Visionary.
32:47David always said, believe the hype.
32:51Here we go.
32:59Julius Pope. Thanks for coming in.
33:01We actually met once at a function some years back.
33:04Ah, forgive me.
33:05We'll see.
33:07This is Deirdre Ryan, our general counsel.
33:10And this is Ellen and David's daughter Madison,
33:12who I knew since she was this big.
33:15Madison, your daddy.
33:17This big?
33:19Madison, your dad was one of our brightest stars.
33:23Yep. You ready to delete what's left of him?
33:34Once we wipe these, he'll be gone.
33:37We have a facility on site.
33:39We sanitize the data and degauss the drive.
33:42But we're not going to do any of that.
33:44Right.
33:45Wait, what?
33:46Your husband and his work product are the property of logarithms.
33:50As such, his code is our intellectual property.
33:54I wanted you here today so I could say this personally.
33:58David Kim is a valuable asset for this company,
34:01and we're not going to delete him.
34:03Not now. Not ever.
34:07Julius, what the hell-
34:09Sit down, Pete.
34:10But you had me make the transfer. Why-
34:12You do better work when you think you're being truthful.
34:14Miss Kim came here because she knows you.
34:17Now she knows me.
34:20Look, David signed power of attorney over to me.
34:25I brought the documents.
34:26You have power of attorney over his body, not his mind.
34:29We would argue that legally there's a difference.
34:31You're welcome to try and challenge that in court,
34:33but it'll be a long and expensive process.
34:35Are you prepared for that?
34:37Are you prepared for everything out in the open?
34:40You want the world to know you killed a man
34:42then enslaved what was left of him?
34:44The government will come after you,
34:46not to mention your competitors,
34:48and Lord knows what the church will have to say.
34:50With what proof?
34:52Some emojis from a chat log?
34:54You know what I have?
34:55A PR team that'll tell the press about an unhinged widow
34:58who's decided to pursue an agenda against her husband's former company
35:01in an attempt to extort money from us.
35:04You really want to be attached to that narrative?
35:06You want her to be?
35:13What? All the servers?
35:15Corporate, enterprise, e-mail, they're all down.
35:18The entire back end.
35:25Get InfoSec on site.
35:26Can they restore and roll back?
35:27They're already on it.
35:28Why not?
35:30How long?
35:31How long have we been down?
35:34What's going on?
35:35Logarithm's sites are down all over the world
35:37and they're losing millions of dollars by the second.
35:40They've lost control of their company.
35:43They can have it back when they release my father.
35:46Logarithm's sites are down all over the world
35:48and they're losing millions of dollars by the second.
35:51They've lost control of their company.
35:54They can have it back when they release my father.
36:04Maddy, what are you doing?
36:06Shaving Dad.
36:07Dad? Maddy, we just got...
36:09That is not Dad.
36:12You're wrong.
36:13You may not want to believe it, but I know he's alive.
36:16And I'm going to bring him home.
36:22How is she doing this?
36:23She's not. It's Lori Lowell.
36:25Is the trap in place?
36:26Yes, but the attack is coming from behind the firewall.
36:29We didn't anticipate her being able to gain access through our intranet.
36:33Can you capture her or not?
36:34I think so. Give me five or six minutes.
36:36Which is it? Five or six?
36:39Six.
36:44Six.
36:53The world's not ready to accept an uploaded intelligence.
36:56And what they're not ready for, they fear.
36:59And ultimately, destroy. Remember that.
37:07You'll have your company back when we're past the gate.
37:11Maddy!
37:14Take care of him.
37:29You're just going to let her walk out of here?
37:32Yep.
37:33All they have is the raw data. They don't have the hardware to run him.
37:37They don't, but Lowell does. She's out there running herself.
37:40This is right now out of control.
37:43As soon as he's active, we'll find him.
37:46And what about her? There are two UIs out in the wild.
37:50On the open internet.
37:53Two.
38:07Two.
38:37Two.
38:55What are you doing?
38:56The friend who helped me.
38:58She wrote an algorithm to unpack Dad's data and transfer it to an encrypted online server that can house his neural patterns.
39:04We're freeing Dad.
39:08Dad.
39:10Dad.
39:36Hello?
39:38Hello?
39:40Hi, kiddo.
39:42Dad.
39:46I want to show you something. Look at your screen.
40:09Dad.
40:19So, kiddo, are you ready to finish the adventure?
40:38Dad.
40:42Dad.
