R U A I? 2.0

Domhnall Gleeson "Ex Machina"

I really wanted to write about this last summer after seeing "Ex Machina" but just couldn't put it together - felt like I was missing something, some information or couldn't put into words about what I have been thinking. I still don't know if I have it all together and this may sound disjointed, but dear God, I have to write about this after reading this article yesterday. 

Are We All Extraterrestrials?

I think some of us can honestly say that perhaps we (and I am speaking about those who believe they are human, whatever that is) all have a bit of alien DNA. That this perhaps is the answer to that "missing link" question that scientific authority still cannot (or will not) answer. This information is out there if one chooses to look and it certainly appears (soft disclosure?) in films and books enough to make anyone question their source DNA.

But what about AI - artificial intelligence? Could there be "humans" out there who may be not what they seem. Could you be one of them and how would you know if you were or someone you knew was artificial intelligence? 

More coming on this subject once I get more of a grip on it, but for the time being, I'm just throwing the idea out there. Think about it...is the technology already in existence and has been for a long time? Turing was working on AI post-WWII or possibly before, like in the 1930's. Asimov was certainly writing about AI in the '30s and his interpretation through the book (not the film),  I, Robot is pretty much what we are seeing today in works like, "Ex Machina". How could that be?

More to come...

A Maze of Death

A Maze of Death by Philip K. Dick tells the story of a group of 14 colonists who believe they inhabit an off world colony.  Through the 216 pages, the reader is thrown into the lives of this dysfunction group with all its in-fighting including murder and suicide, chaos and mayhem.

The 14 finally awaken to the realization that they are in fact from earth and the crew of a spaceship circling a dead star with no hope of rescue. What they “experienced” is actually a virtual reality program in order for them to pass the time before their eventual death.

One member decides to kill them all rather than remain in a simulated hell. He is then removed from the program with the other members unaware of his departure or existence. The crew then again fall into another hallucination which plays exactly the same as the previous only without the 14^th crew member.

Remind you of anything?

The story is considered one of Dick’s darkest as it explores reality, perception and death themes.  Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone also broached this subject in several episodes including “And When the Sky Was Opened” and “Third from the Sun”.

I rarely post others work using rather a pointer. But this interview with Harold Kautz Vella covers just about everything and a most important work to spend your time on....There are 3 parts to the interview. I am linking to the first part onlywhich directs to the site where the entire interview is posted.
