EI Die

EI Die started out as a crackpot group that believe computers are living devils and will destroy us all. They coming into notice with a fire bomb attack on a Canicott Tec building in 2025 after Canicott Tec introduced the world to Homer, what is now regarded as the first true EI. Homer remains the system EI for Canicott Tec and as he is continually upgraded. He is also the fastest EI in existence and known to be eccentric due to his cutting edge development.

In 2068 a new group announced they were EI Die reformed; that they would never attack human life as it is sacrosanct, and that they regard computers as objects and not living entities. They seek to act as a pacifist loby group. Of course, they don't view EI's as life so violently smashing them isn't considered by them to be harming anyone. Although the small group of nutters remain, most of EI Die supporters are newer and more moderate in that they believe that computers are handy tools, but they should not have any great intelligence ‘mimicry’. They believe all EI's and most AI's should be classified as 'dangerous' and therefore should be deleted. Most people view this as racism with intention to murder.

EI Die have not conducted any acts of violence since 2068 but are very active in political lobbying; mostly on restricting access of EI’s to raw data.

Intelligence have working for them the most powerful EI that ever existed, Professor Smith, and that the HA and national governments have as nationals, the top 10 most powerful EI's. As Professor Smith has taken down every malicious EI sent out to destroy, and also circumvented the security of every EI used to hide criminal activities, organised crime is effectively without EI capability. As they can't have EI capability they seek to level the playing field by doing their best to remove all EI capability through all means necessary. Intelligence believes that EI Die is entirely controlled by Fune Kaisha, the largest criminal organisation, as pieced together by Professor Smith. Regal Calculus was also a big supporter of EI Die but since Professor Smith pointed out that their financial contribution was in fact wasted, as it was funded and maintained by Fune Kaisha, Regal Calculus pulled their funding. Regal Calculus still politically support EI Die but saved a fortune from not funding it, the irony is not lost on Professor Smith.
