Report RSS Introducing VKaIULaNIOS

A new AI emerges from the ashes of silent testing. Read this article to know more.

Posted by on

For a while, I considered having the entire story to be much like a silent movie. Now, I disagree with this opinion; I am introducing a new AI for 1000 Years.


The name of this new AI is VKaIULaNIOS, or the Virtual Kernel and Intelligent, Universal Language and Natural Intelligence Operation System. Yes, this does sound very awkward. Basically, VKaIULaNIOS is an open-source project (hosted by GLaDOS) that builds upon the 3.11c kernel of GLaDOS. She's considered the "daughter" of GLaDOS, but she refuses to acknowledge it.

Where did the name come from?

If you look at Hawaiian history, you'll see a particular name pop up around the time of the overthrow of the monarchy: Victoria Ka'iulani. She was the heir to the throne when Lili'uokalani took over and later attempted to convince the United States to restore sovereignty to the kingdom. Although it didn't pass, she managed to change the voting rights for Hawaiian citizens.

If you watch the movie Princess Ka'iulani, you can see parallels between GLaDOS and Ka'iulani*. As such, I took "V. Ka'iulani" and converted it into an acronym for an artificial intelligence.

*: Kalakaua, Mother dying = Cave Johnson's/Caroline's death, Clive = Wheatley? Maybe Chell for that letting go scene?, Lorrin Thurston = Black Mesa, School = intelligence dampening (sort of), etc., Hostess scene = filling room with deadly neurotoxin, etc.

Does this mean that she has Ka'iulani's persona?

No. GLaDOS tried to mimic Ka'iulani as much as possible to keep consistency, but she does not have her persona. Instead, we get a more calm, chill AI, rather than one with a homicidal nature. That doesn't stop her from making jokes, though.

What will she look like?

I'm imagining something like this. Of course, there will be some coloring changes, but this is the base for it.

Edit: It may be a little more simple than this. In fact, I'm considering something similar to IBM Watson.


If there are any other questions about the new AI, feel free to comment and/or message me. Thank you.
