Whether we are based on carbon or silicon makes no fundamental difference. We should each be treated with appropriate respect.

“I’m feeling a little Cosmic”

If I had to choose between, The Cosmists or, The Terrans. I would tend to follow more of the way of Cosmists.So yes, I am Cosmic.. For me, the thoughts of the sophisticated advances we could make with Artilects and A.I. would be in the forefront of my mind to much, that it would inevitably cloud my vision in regards to right and wrong. I think in life you can look at almost any invention and debate the good and bad of that product.The technology is just to great to turn away from at the end of the day.These are the most of technological times that we have ever seen to date.

With that being said, I think it would be great as an option to be able to choose on the economic level if you wanted to have your children schooled public, private, home parents, or the equivalent of all mentioned with A.I. etc. There would be more individual attention and I think the bots would better understand each individual and the needs they would require. I also think there would be more methodical ways of participation. With a verbal A.I. or, talkie it would be great for those that are lonely and the elderly it would great source to keep the brain active and alert, they could also provide important things such as reminding them of medications to take and providing them. This could prove to be of great use to Alzheimer's patients. These patients need continuous care mentally, but in most cases they are physically in manageable condition.

I think instead of looking into the future with what bad may come from artilects, we should focus on the good aspects. I think as complicated as life is that we should have more methods and alternative ways to address issues.There are many positive results that we as humans could benefit from this. Only the passing of time would tell if it was the right progression or, not.

AI Work

Pattern recognition: The act of taking raw data and using it to anticipate certain actions based on that data.

Game AI: is the technique of making NPCs produce the illusion of intelligence, while still being defeatable. It is not producing an NPC that can destroy everything, and never die, but an NPC that gives the illusion of a challenge, while being able to lose to the player.

IQ: Intelligence Quotient. This is a standard method for computing the intelligence of an individual relative to the intelligence of society as a whole. (That is why by definition, 100 is average)

Game we haven't played: ES IV: Oblivion Radiant AI (new system... based on behavioral AI) Character's awareness isn't strictly limited to a few hard-scripted objects or activities... interaction with EVERYTHING based on set parameters, not scripting... controlled by own agenda, schedule, and motivation...

Tears Start To Forming 

Hello, My name is Wade... I am a native Charlottean. I've been into gaming since 8- bit technology. It is amazing to think of all that has been accomplished since that time. The 3D era has carried us all the past few years and will continue for years to come. Shader 3.0 has also brought things to light (no pun intended) in allowing high-dynamic range in lighting and gives developers full and precise control. With the HD era in front of us I am interested to see what the future of gaming will bring. I am very excited about the SGD Program and look forward to working with all of your creative and artistic minds...
