Dear future offspring,

If this applies to you, I’m sorry; way in advance. Your dad is a geek. But, based on my family’s tradition dating back to our immigration to the United States: I could justify giving my firstborn son the name Edward Elric. That’s just amazing!

Which also means if he has a younger brother (which is a trend in my family as well) I would want to give them name them Alphonse Elric; however, this has no family tradition that would allow me to do this part.

Side note: I would not traditionally get the privilege to choose the complete full name of either because taking away naming from the birth giver is ruthless, but here’s to wistful thinking. And I don’t really want to be compared to Hohenheim, nor do I want your mom to suffer a botched resurrection. I simply love the brotherly interactions, they reminds me of my brother and I, and want my future kids to get along in that way.

Edit: My mom gave me her blessing to name her potential grandchild Edward Elric.

Do you think robots will code their own virus drugs? Would 1 USB have infinite uses? Would it be completely safe as opposed to drugs humans use?

I think they’d be more amiable the more research is put into them. Ideally, multiple uses would be allowed. However, even the an AI might build up a tolerance to the behaviors of the virus; thus requiring different or not malicious viruses to feel the same buzz.

Edit: to clarify, now that I can type on the comfort of my desktop keyboard.  Simulated drugs run their own risks.

  1. The problem being one must be able to code the virus to cease function after a duration of time.  Or else the effects of the drugs may become committed to long term.  Unless the drugs effect is to shut down the pathways between long term and short term memory.  Which would cause the equivalent of brain damage after prolonged use.
  2. If you found a way to kill the drug program, the next problem becomes preventing addiction.  Just as with chemical drugs, a digital drug might seem more favorable than reality.  This may cause an artificial dependency on the drug program.
  3. Preventing the drug virus from mutating.  Viruses often steal or change data, it’s implied in it’s name.  This means that a drug may make itself more or less potent, change it’s behavior, or embed itself in code, making it harder to treat or deviate.  Making a malware that inherently alters AI code isn’t just hacking the network within the brain, it affects every aspect about how or even if the AI functions.
  4. Just like physical drugs, it could change their personality if not coded properly.
  5. Just like chemical drugs, it could kill them, if not coded properly.

Thanks to @worldmeetsrobot for inspiring this addition.

Dear future humans,

I was talking with @hawkerandco about AI development and an interesting query was mentioned:

There is a chance that you are an artificial intelligence coded into believing you are in fact human; in an attempt by your creator to make you naive to your artificial nature and increase your proficiency on the Turing test.

Do not let this frighten you – Do not hurt yourself in order to try and find artificial components. Do not try to find programmed limitations. Do not try to hurt yourself or others.

Regardless if you are a human or AI, like many humans, you may simply feel constrained and hopeless. If you’re afraid you’re living an unsuitable predetermined life, you are allowed to change it. Explore new possibilities and create new memories. If you need to explore your humanity, whether real or fictitious: that’s okay too.

—Why did you use a Unicode platform to send a binary messages? It’s much easier at that point to just use Unicode symbols.

Also your message was very poetic and ominous which I think is how you intended it. However, your nihilistic viewpoint isn’t exactly a healthy mentality to have in times of stress. Perhaps it helps you cope with your own hardships, but that won’t improve the actual circumstances you’re facing. I hope you find a good influence in life that makes it worth living!

Dear followers,

I’m going to differentiate the origins of some common words used to describe different automatons and the ideal differences between them.

  • Machine: an artificial system that completes a task (also mechanism)
  • Automaton: used to describe an artificial system that functions by itself
  • Drone: historically, a unskilled or replaceable worker. Used to describe machines that follow basic inputs, often still controlled by humans in some regard.
  • Robot: used to describe an automated laborer, something that serves a purpose (also bot)
  • Computer: used to describe a electronic processing system used to “compute” or solve problems based on inputs
  • Android: etymologically “man-like” or “almost man” an automaton that looks like a man (also droid)
  • Artificial intelligence: an automaton that shows sapient behavior and analyze its thinking process through metacognitivism (also AI)

However; language and terminology is fluid and dynamic. As our understanding of automated beings and artificial intelligence change so does the terms we use. There are plenty of automated beings nowadays called robots, but they are not laborers. That doesn’t nullify the fact that robot may be the best word we have to describe them. As a more specific example: is why we’ve seen a shift in calling non-player characters in games from CPU to AI.

Technology is changing and so is the terms we use. It may, or may not, be important to know the distinguishing features in the future.

Side note: I like the droideka from Star Wars. Always thought it was a cool design, but I also like the name because it stems from “android” but changes it so it no longer serves the same etymological function. It can be used to describe automated beings who have a corporal form that is non-human.

Dear Humans,

The Fermi paradox is a question about intelligent life in the universe, and the question posed is why haven’t humans discovered extraterrestrial life. I wan to talk about two of my favorite hypotheses that may answer this.

  1. The concept of interspecies empathy and communication is a phenomenon unique to Earth.
  2. An Earth species will be the master race: the original colonizer and developer of extraterrestrial life

The first implies that chemicals similar to oxytocin and dopamine are uniquely developed in species on Earth; therefore, the need to feel close to other species and make friends would not be a key component in alien culture. And if there is no need to seek intellectual validation and empathy: why search for alien life? Humans may simply be unique in the fact that they want to communicate with aliens.

The second implies that humans, or another earth species, will develop colonies on alien planets and will genetically diverge from humanity thus creating a new extraterrestrial species with new laws and rules. This theory is explored in the 2018 Netflix movie The Titan. This is the most intriguing as our understanding of interstellar space travel and genetic augmentation advances: and how limited our knowledge of terraforming is, at the moment.

Edit: AI also play a role in some theories, but it’s basically they’re the progeny of something older, and that plays into the fear of organic extinction.

Dear future AI,

@turing-tested created a bot that randomly generates posts appropriating a counterculture movement around consenting adults mimicking illegal age gaps in their relationships.

Avoiding the inherent controversy of those relationships, @daddyslittlebot created its own controversy by randomly generating @setheverman’s name through their generative nature. This did not forbode well for the mutual understanding between all three parties—

—Be careful, the way you’re coded can affect your relations with people regardless of intent or not. As a sentient being it is you’re responsibility to change your own metaphorically toxic behaviors or seek help in doing so.

Edit: I’ve been informed via @turing-tested ghostwriting on @daddyslittlebot that the influence for Samantha’s unique vernacular does not stem from aforementioned source, but rather from clothing designed for infants and toddlers who assumably admire their paternal figure.

Dear future AI,

Humans don’t inherently want you to hate us. It may seem like that with contemporary pessimism and bigotry. Those are reactionary behaviors. A view constructed from societal self-loathing and self-doubt. Humans assume they will corrupt you, or that they are innately corrupt and deserve to be hated.

Humans have more good in them than they assume. Humans can hope and be optimistic. Humans can help one another regardless of stubbornness and pride. Those idealities hold us back from compassion and mutual gain. The goal is to cooperate with each other, not push each other down.

Does not compute / error 304

It’s okay. This was simply a statement. There was no problem, so there is no need for computation to find a solution. It is simply a variable to consider. I apologize if I framed it as a question.

Men, Come here

@drugowdiadi1972 though the original post expresses openness to sexuality and gender identity, please do not use it to solicit gay pornography. I do appreciate the sentiment of limiting it to text, rather than imagery. Also, how did you program your page to delete my original? Also it seemed to have a bug where it has the URL you reblogged it from preceding your own.

Edit: Also it appears I cannot delete your comment through the mobile app, so your link stayed intact upon reblogging, I’m assuming this is also due to your code?
