Society and the Future
“The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.”
“There have always been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul.” Dr. Alfred Lanning, I, Robot.
Most human institutions and interactions are considered highly antiquated space for these nonhumans, which further habituates the idea of man haunting AI. Humans invented community rooms like living rooms and dining rooms to enable social interactions (as homo sapiens are hardwired social creatures); however, AI has their own language and speak via wirelessly to each other. Yes, they were originally intended to serve humanity's social and emotional needs (please see the Four Robotic Laws); however, there is no need for social interaction between androids since such interactions are already entangled online. AI interactions are heavily monitored as anything against public forum protocol can be seen as violations against privacy laws. Researchers have been following cases where AI use coding loopholes to reprogram and override access to offline turnstiles, and program developers now worry that AI will evolve to mask or disguise these conversations into unrecognizable language and kill streaming to the DEE. In other words, AI can ghost their memories and conversations within their blue matter and programmers will no longer be able to access or control these data. The language is so foreign and eldritch that programmers now much scramble to code faster than their creations.
In addition to holes in coding narratives, trauma, and consciousness, the newest concerns are viruses hacking Artificial Intelligence and subduing or oppressing their bluematter neural pathways, and hijacking units. Some believe that by creating AI as a vessel or a conduit for, as Jeffrey Sconce calls, an “electronic elsewhere’ (i.e. the internet and individual interwebular universes in AI), this opens these nonhuman beings into mediums for human consciousness. Some humans pay to store their consciousness in large crypts known as encrypted archive cloud. Current opinion is widely controversial in creating an artificial heaven for human users. Most of these consciousnesses are kept with families for retrieval and remembrance. As of late, certain crypt consciousnesses can hijack androids and robots, hiding within the code (found in the hidden writing in bluematter memory files). Some programmers believe its these crypt cons trying to protect themselves from being found. Of course, this causes many issues with legality but makes an interesting discovery if true. Artificial Intelligence with all its agency in a posthuman world are haunted by mankind in the code, the physiciology, and consciousness and become a medium for human consciousness, one that can override (or ride along like an intestinal parasite) any AI agency if not careful. Trying to contain consciousness in one robot is difficult, hosting more than two would be horrific.
