Hollywood and many a science fiction writers have envisioned a world where artificial intelligence and the rise of machines battle to become superior to humans on Earth and other worlds. It is an interesting story...one where a machine gains the ability to learn, becomes self-aware, and always seems to make a decision regarding the fate of the human race.
Consequently, this makes for really good stories and a successful movie franchise that has entertained and frightened many a people.
Well, think about it this way. Instead of the Terminator or a cybernetic organism...living tissue over metal endoskeleton...what about a Process Killer...an organic, non-electronic life form that targets machines and computer programs or processes. A machine manufactured human who gains intelligence and desire to CTRL-ALT-DEL the enemy. Interesting, huh. Machines did the unthinkable...they created an organism that was meant to be their power source, but they inadvertantly gave it the power to kill.
In this world, machines are and have been the dominant and intelligent life form on the planet. They evolved many millions of years ago from the first silicon atoms organizing themselves along with other elements and compounds into the first logic gates. It is really hard to confirm how evolution at this early stage is really happened regardless of the incredibly smart machines that have developed many theories on the subject. Logic gates somehow integrated themselves into operating circuits through trial and error and piggy-backing on themselves to perform even more and more complex operations. It took many thousands of years before they were able to remember.
Think of these primitive logic gates as “digital bacteria”
Operations such as simple arithmetic seemed impossible at this early stage, but somehow they evolved. One would think...how is this even possible without a power source? Well, do not think of it like an electrical cord plugging into an outlet, but more in terms of chemical reactions generating electrical impulses and current to power these early circuits. Not much is known, of course, about these early developments, but it must have worked, because these machines are here today.
