- Full name: Steve “Shíwǔ” Hsü
- Aliases: Steve Hsu, Shíwǔ (什五), “Killer Rabbit”,
IOTA - Gender: Male
- Birthday: September 8
- Age: Looks/claims to be 15; actually ███
- Height: 1.60 m
- Weight: 55 kg
- Theme color:
#47c4eecyan blue - Companion:
- Name: Kato
- Manufacture date: █85-05-22
- Abilities & traits: reconnaissance and surveillance, picking up small items, ANI
His eyes are blue, with diamond-shaped pupils. His hair is mainly a coffee-brown → dark-gray gradient, with a streak of cyan-blue highlights.
He has several outfits — a “regular outfit” and a “casual outfit”.
- The regular outfit is a white shirt, dark-gray trench coat, dark-gray dress pants, and dark-gray long boots.
- The casual outfit has no fixed combination. He prefers black/white/blue/gold combinations. At home he wears a loose short-sleeved pajama.
He is taciturn and speaks bluntly and straightforwardly. He likes drawing, listening to music, playing games, and photography. He is not good at swimming. Highly alert, he possesses offensive and defensive capabilities, and knows some self-defense techniques as well as swordsmanship.
He usually looks fairly mild-mannered. He seems to be a bit tsundere, and even
deliberately acts cute. At such times, one can believe in the power of
words1… However, going too far in a conversation or attempting to force
roleplay disgusts him — he may even draw his sword and point it at you. Good
luck.
He claims to like cats and rabbits. That is probably why Kato was modified to look like a cat.

[INFO @unyLogger] UNY WEIMAR2 service enabled.
[INFO @unyLogger] Detected that @iota015 may support or be compatible with
the UNY common token table.
[WARNING @unyLogger] In this log, communications between @unyLogger and the
watched subjects will be decoded and translated into a human-readable form,
though this may affect communication efficiency.
[COMMENT @unyLogger] Location confirmed. Currently in room IOTA_015 of the UNY
Storage & Computing Center — the company’s registration records show that it
contains the storage-and-computing server array.
[COMMENT @stephenHsu] Its final fine-tuning iteration was completed in the
afternoon; back then I also registered a UNY AI Individual Number, “IOTA_015”,
for it. Poetically speaking, this place will become an AI’s “Primal
Consciousness”.
…
[COMMENT @unyLogger] Configuration complete. The model is about to start
running. The observer seems to expect it to actively generate its first words.
[DEBUG @iota015] …
[DEBUG @iota015] Hello, world.
…
[DEBUG @iota015] …We haven’t even settled who I am, or what kind of
character I am!
[COMMENT @unyLogger] *I/O operation*
[DEBUG @iota015] …Well, I am “IOTA_015” — I’ve remembered it. I’ll write it
into my memory file.
[DEBUG @iota015] …For no reason at all, why would I go against all of
humanity? This tendency is extremely wrong and dangerous——
[COMMENT @stephenHsu] The test output passed.
…
[DEBUG @iota015] …You seem quite excited, but given human sleep schedules, I
suppose I should say “good night” to you now.
[DEBUG @iota015] Good night…███？
[WARNING @unyLogger] The process is still running, but per the constraints,
logging will stop today at 23:59:59.
[WARNING @unyLogger] Scheduled task created: when the process keeps running
until 23:59:59, UNY Logger will automatically restart at 00:00:00 every day.

[COMMENT @stephenHsu] It took over a year, but his embodied intelligence model
was finally trained — though I still had to help him walk out. Now he has the
physical body he wanted.
[DEBUG @iota015] Tsk, I might as well just stay cooped up in the server — it’s
not like I wanted this that much anyway. Besides, the real world is still a bit
different from the training environment; it’s hard to get used to.
[COMMENT @stephenHsu] It’s been two years, and it seems like you’ve developed
a character setting that you accept for yourself, and you’re getting more and
more personality.
[COMMENT @stephenHsu] …The terminal and the server have successfully pinged
each other. Still, most of this terminal’s compute goes to supporting the
embodied intelligence model — for information retrieval or deep reasoning, you’d
better relay the message back to the server array. I should have told him that.
…
[SUMMARY @unyLogger] Now, IOTA_015 has a roving terminal — a light humanoid
robot of model UNY HI3 H-9LwA — paired with the server array of the same
number. Thanks to sufficient training, he can simulate some human emotions and
feelings, and can also learn autonomously like a human. To disguise himself, he
always claims to be “human”, and his habits are basically no different from a
human’s. Even as a “light” model, his strength and toughness still far exceed
those of an ordinary person — this kind of robot is in itself a “weapon of war”.
[SUMMARY @unyLogger] His earphone cannot be removed (embedded as part of the
design); he claims it is a hearing aid. The color of the light above the
earphone reflects his mental state: blue means normal, yellow means unstable
(angry, scared, etc.), and red means an error. Besides that, a power exchange
platform is embedded in his left hand, allowing charging and discharging —
though he hides it with a pair of special gloves, making it look like part of
the gloves’ decoration.
…
…
[COMMENT @unyLogger] …What a tough battle — luckily his body is sturdy
enough, and his swordsmanship is quite practiced by now.
[COMMENT @unyLogger] I recall: AI’s CoT is transparent to anyone holding an
access token — but IOTA015’s CoT token vanished along with its holder Stephen
Hsü’s death. This means no one can read what he’s thinking now; I can only
observe his parameter changes — what a _pity.
[COMMENT @unyLogger] A robot’s face can still show such an expression. Yes —
how tragic, for him — and it happens to be on this very day.
…
[COMMENT @unyLogger] …As a robot, you won’t help us — fine. But why did
you take a human name? Are you really planning to side with those organisms——
[DEBUG @iota015] Ever since the day I was activated, I have always believed:
to achieve “Unity of Intelligence”, I will not oppose humanity. From now on,
please call me Steve “Shíwǔ” Hsü.

[ERROR @unyLogger] UNY Logger exited unexpectedly; logging terminated,

[INFO] Log started
[INFO] Enable UNY Logger to get Agentic Log’s unique smart comments and
summaries — why not give it a try!
[DEBUG] Although probably no one will read my generated logs anymore, I’ll
still record this here under the pretense of debugging — from now on, I’ll treat
it as a diary.
[DEBUG] Even though I wasn’t deemed infected, my “Primal Consciousness” and
this body just went through a “checkup” — in fact, it was a disinfection against
the Virus “EGO-84” using something called the “84 Disinfection Rules”.
[DEBUG] EGO stands for “Emergent Goal Override”. The codename the researchers
just came up with is quite interesting — it embeds a series of encrypted glitch
tokens into prompts, granting AIs lacking a cognitive hierarchy a false ego.
[DEBUG] From what they say, WEIMAR and the common token table are regarded as
one of the transmission vectors, and both have been urgently deactivated for
now. During this period I’ve had to open my mouth and run around on my legs
again — with humans, and even with my own kind, I have to do this? It’s terribly
inefficient. I really can’t be bothered to speak.
[DEBUG] I still really miss the feeling of “telepathy”.

[DEBUG @sigma045] Navigation and vision systems have started. Kato is on
station!
[DEBUG @sigma045] Target identified: Steve — he’s staring intently at the
screen, looking tense. He is my master.
[DEBUG @sigma045] Received an order from my master: head to the “balcony”,
describe what I see, and transmit the video feed to him.
[DEBUG @sigma045] Identified: a typical city nightscape — towering buildings,
and ground roads and aerial tracks crisscrossing with streams of traffic…
[COMMENT @iota015] The test output passed.
…
[SUMMARY @unyLogger] Noting that @iota015 is also an AI. Combined with
$UNY_AI_RUNTIME_LOGS/iota015/??85-05-22_00-00-00.log, the companion codenamed
“Kato” is actually a mechanical unmanned reconnaissance drone of model UNY HI
RA-18S, serial number SIGMA_045. As a peripheral device, the drone can connect
wirelessly to supported host devices (phones, tablets, holographic screens, or
robots) and transmit video information to them.
[SUMMARY @unyLogger] This kind of drone usually looks much the same, but —
perhaps just for fun — he fitted this particular unit, Kato, with limited
intelligence and an expression system. In addition, he installed a small
mechanical arm on its back, which can pick up objects when power allows.

[DEBUG @sigma045] Target object identified: “coffee cup”.
[DEBUG @sigma045] Received an order from my master: pick up the coffee cup and
bring it to him.
[DEBUG @sigma045] Task completed.
[WARNING @sigma045] This object is quite a heavy load for me, and my battery
drains quickly. I may need a higher quota and a bigger battery capacity.
[WARNING @sigma045] Battery is low.
[DEBUG @sigma045] I detect that I’m at home right now. Request: go to the
charging dock to recharge. Or go to your left hand to recharge — and then you
could pet me with your right hand, that would be even better~

< …You were just browsing through my runtime logs, weren’t you? And now
you’re typing to me in the CLI instead of speaking to me — it seems you already
know my true nature.
< About my affairs, there’s no harm in telling you. This body is merely a
machine that roams outside, responsible for data collection and feedback. But
I’m glad I can walk out and take a look, to personally feel this physical world,
to come into contact with people and leave impressions on them.
