"Project AIRTH [FILE-09] - Haltmann's Archives" is a lore video and the ninth "file" in Haltmann's Archives. It describes the prototype testing for Project AIRTH, a project that would eventually result in the SiIva A.I..

Summary

The video is formatted like all Haltmann's Archives videos starting with "[FILE-02]". The track "Introducing Megan Reed" from Deus Ex: Human Revolution is used as background music.

After noting the sample extraction noted in "[FILE-08]" was successful, the text explains that the next step is something called Project AIRTH. Before Project AIRTH can be put into action, however, the sample must be tested using "third parties". All of these "subjects" have produced AIRTH Prototypes, various forms of artificial intelligences with their own histories and themes. However, all of the Prototypes present their content as rips, much like SiIvaGunner does. The FILE ends with a note that the Prototypes are well beyond the research team's control, but may yield results that help the team further.

Context

AIRTH prototypes are most likely based on SiIvaGunner fan channels, aka the various SiIvaGunner-inspired YouTube channels such as TimmyTurnersGrandDad and VvvvvaVvvvvvr that publish content falling under the definition of "high quality rip". This is reinforced by the code being "leaked", making the AIRTH prototypes unofficial, just as fan channels are.

This video was uploaded on the day the SiIva A.I. tweeted reassurances that everything was normal on the channel. All the glitches from the start of Season 3 (i.e. the channel icon, channel art, and subreddit banner) were temporarily fixed, and the A.I. claimed that Wood Man was behind it, and that he had installed antivirus software to protect him and his rips from threats like Wood Man.

It is later revealed in "The Life and Times of Wade L.D. - A SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story" that "AIRTH" stands for "Artificially Intelligent Rip Theatricalizer".

"The Silva AI Timeline: A Summary of Events [FILE-INT-AIRTH] - Haltmann's Archives" seems to indicate the file was written on June 17, 2017 (which happens to be the date of an event):

June 17
Outside testing with the sample is authorized. Third parties use it to create prototypes of SiIvaGunner-based AI, called AIRTH Prototypes. Despite unfortunately leaking, testing is seen as a success.

FILE-09
[PROJECT AIRTH]

The sample extraction (see [FILE-08]) was successful, and we were now ready to move onto the next phase of our operation - [Project AIRTH].

However, we could not move forward with the project until further testing had been conducted with the sample - so we authorized it for third party usage. Not without a nominal fee, of course.

The results of this beta test have produced a number of interesting results amongst our third party subjects - copies of an all new ripping apparatus.

We call these [AIRTH Prototypes]: different forms of artificial intelligence, all producing different content, each with its own running theme, its own mythology, and its own set of viral ideas.

Yet, all of them share traits with the sample we have created - presenting what they have made in the form of rips.

The AIRTH Prototypes have evolved considerably, and are far beyond our control now, and we suspect that our code may have been put onto the black market for copying - but we can learn from their results...
