One New Notification!

[airlockedmods]

[About a day after Cece's message arrives, another small blip! cuts its way through whatever conversations the Airlocked! survivors might be having. But it isn't happening in the space limo this time - it's on the Temerity proper. Some of you are more acquainted with the computer system here, so you should know what that sound means.

You have new Spitter messages!]

MODS?

......... you ain't suddenly gonna wanna play Minesweeper while I have a look, right?

[Otherwise Nari is all over that.

But she'll take the moment and take over the computer. Okay..... so articles found.

What's the gist of them?]

[airlockedmods]

[Most of the articles are on the topics of virtual reality, or otherwise the potential for integration between organic minds and digital technology.

But since only one of these is actually important for anything: the paper that Yl'lb Ein co-authored is about artificial intelligence, with very little actual connection to organic brains. They only come up as points of comparison; it seems that the thesis here is that sufficiently advanced AIs are functionally indistinguishable from organic minds and should not necessarily be handled in a different way.]

..... holy fuck.... if this is actually being done... [The possibilities are terrifying.

Is there any information on if it's been tested yet?]

[airlockedmods]

[If it has been, they don't mention it here.]

[everylittlesecret]

[This is extremely worrying information... If she can find pen and paper, she's going to write out a simpler explanation for everyone who might not get this article.

Anything else that stands out that should be noted?]

[airlockedmods]

[You got the most important parts! Overall, this piece seems to take a pretty optimistic view of AIs.]

[everylittlesecret]

[Well, AI's aren't bad. Just... easily corruptible if you know how to do it.

Now she really wants to talk to Yl'lb Ein.]
