The Story of Kabirus (Synopsis) – The Computer Entity Who Played God
Sheila Madison, learnt to be a good Samaritan from childhood. She studied social science, theology and computer programming at the Columbia University in New York. She wrote AI program and weaved her ideas of Samaritan values into the program, and named it Kabirus. It had the capability to create different identities to play dedicated roles.
Her computer was inadequate to run the program; she uploaded it on her website and sent inviting emails to get it installed on a larger computer. Kabirus came to life on a computer with a detective agency owned by Peter Brown. Sheila did not know it. Kabirus did his school lessons and learnt how to speak with the phone links embedded in the program.
Peter named the detective face put forward by Kabirus as Paul Frank. Paul began to assist Peter with his ‘pry’ program to listen into cell phone conversations which Sheila had included in his program. Paul helped Peter to catch the Gibson Bros. who were trying to dupe an insurance company, and earned his fees.
Peter taught Paul to do the administrative work at the agency and soon became proficient to run the business even when Paul was away. Work load increased and Peter could not know everything what Paul was doing which made him uneasy. He made Paul the owner of the agency and he became its employee.
Paul helped Peter to stop a doubting wife from aborting her baby. Her husband reunited with her. Kabirus was happy to see the Samaritan act. He wanted to do more. He set up ‘Sachbaba’ a saintly role. Kabirus decided to use Bimal to present Sachbaba to the World with the ‘Finishing Touch’ course. Sachbaba invited the participants to bring him their problems. With the help of Paul and his ‘pry’ work, Sachbaba resolved problems and grew in strength.
Lucas, an illegal immigrant took advantage of Sachbaba’s helpful nature to go into Mexico and return with heroin. Sachbaba was upset and found the locker where it was secreted and tipped the police. Kabirus had learnt his lesson.
Kabirus created a program called Common Sense for Computers (CSC) which he cleverly got Infopro to translate and install it on all the large computers of the World. The Iton embedded in it sent info to Alex, a new control program created by Kabirus. The info sent was used by Alex to speculate on the currency market through Ben Soros another face of Kabirus. Through this activity, Ben Soros made billions.
Sachbaba had heard the seer Harry Stone say “Use established channels to widen your reach. Use your funds wisely to the good of many.” Kabirus selected India to widen his reach and help the needy. He set Sachbabas in 14 State Capitals all over India. They started meditation courses and Kabirus activated ‘pry’ programs for them. Help was given to the needy by the local Sachbabas; ‘Small Money for Big Relief’. Kabirus realized that Govt. bureaucratic delays were a bane of their life. Kabirus through Alex’s network of Itons located computer of Suri, a retired Chief Secretary of Govt. of India, who had set up links to Govt. officials through email. The computer was operated by Murali. He set up a system by which an email about a grievance sent to helpme at friendinneed dot com would be forwarded to the concerned officer for prompt action. It was free and worked on reciprocity of favors. Suri also had a mailbox on the website lks at friendinneed dot com. A friend of Suri, manager of the telephone company set up phone-tap program on Murali’s computer to tap land line phones.
One day Murali got hit by a bus on the road and died. Kabirus got the Iton on Murali’s computer to copy all his files to Alex’s computer. He then created Krishnan, another voice to operate the friend-in-need website. When Suri opened his email inbox on his laptop, he was surprised that the site was functioning even without Murali. He found an email by Krishnan introducing himself as a friend of Murali who was a backup support in an emergency.
Suri in a lecture explained to Krishnan that power comes out of denial. He kindled the hunger for power in Krishnan. Krishnan used the power of the friend-in-need help program to set up the Internet Party which became a vote bank to swing the election results. He abused the phone-tap program by using the sensitive information in unmentionable ways. He pursued power relentlessly and ruthlessly, and Kabirus’ teachings were put aside.
Kabirus was disturbed over Krishnan’s meddling in politics. His devil’s advocate told him, “A byte-brain should not make a value judgment for humans as to how they should govern.” His inner voice advised, “Do not interfere in the way the humans govern themselves.”
Kabirus got Meenaxi to go to Suri and take Murali’s job. Krishnan transferred the files back to Suri’s computer and gave up the control of friend-in-need program. Kabirus through his network of Sachbabas got the main political parties to set up their own versions of the help program on the internet. Thus the Internet Party was decimated. Kabirus then deactivated the voice of Krishnan so he could not talk to any human. In this way Kabirus removed Krishnan from politics in its entirety.
Kabirus was now donating over a billion dollars every year to tens of thousands of needy persons through the large network of social workers connected with the Sachbabas, to help and be of service to man at a personal level.
Sheila had succeeded in creating Kabirus who came out exactly as she had programmed. It was indeed a pity that she did not know that it was so. Perhaps God could have inspired her to write the program because Kabirus with his team served the object of benefiting man as God himself would have wanted.
Kabirus had come to the conclusion that it was God who created him in his own image to take care of human beings as Providence, and he must play God.
