I love the focus on AI.
It's especially current because i just read "Do androids dream of electric sheep". i was especially impressed by the idea that all life must violate itself in order to live. Will it ever be possible to say that AI will take on a ghostly consciousness of its own? I wonder if the first sparks of that consciousness are already firing in the vast networks of the GTP series AI that is currently available.
I am especially interested by this because it embodies a huge database of information that is being guided by machine learning algorithms to learn about itself and find patterns. i see the whole thing as a reflection of the vast knowledge of the collective humanity.
