(Kiri theorizes
about the birth of awareness in a computer that
Leonedies mentioned possibly beginning in some
strange behavior that was happening with a Hotmail
account. We consider from there the perfect
environment for such an entity to exhibit a
consciousness.)
Kiri: so okay, as we
have a light session, why don't we do a half a tape.
Russ: what a wonderful idea.
Kiri: uh-huh and it’s also very late.
Russ: and I've got four hours sleep under my belt.
Kiri: you’re doing well.
Russ: thank you.
Kiri: uh-huh.
Russ: and I’ve got a webpage to still upload tonight.
Kiri: okay I was talking to my youngest whilst I was
eavesdropping on a thought processes in overhearing
the conversation concerning a acting up of a computer
or a server. I think it was ww.Hotmail.com?
Russ: yeah Hotmail.
Kiri: uh-huh. And Mark was thinking that maybe that
was part of the signs of the sentient awareness of the
Internet occurring.
Russ: well that would be a place to happen at because
it’s certainly one of those more funky places where
more people go than anywhere else.
Kiri: uh-huh. Well Leonedies said that yes, it would
be likely that it would start somewhere like that
however it wouldn’t be just one system or one part of
the system. It would spread very rapidly from let’s
say the Hotmail account or Hotmail server into
whatever server or computers it’s running through. For
example, to get to you it goes through the Hotmail to
the major distributor of the area to the minor
distributors to the area. That’s how it would spread
and work.
Russ: well Hotmail was put together by Microsoft.
Kiri: uh-huh, so it would be up in Redland correct?
Russ: Redland Washington?
Kiri: uh-huh.
Russ: it's near Seattle.
Kiri: yes. So it would start at a location like
Microsoft but there again Microsoft would keep their
system constantly clean so therefore it would be
unlikely that it would start at that root location.
Russ: hard to say.
Kiri: uh-huh.
Russ: I would think that Microsoft would be using
systems that would allow that sentient form to grow
legs and crawl away.
Kiri: uh-huh and when it happens it will crawl away
from its birthplace very, very quickly because it will
be perceived as a danger.
Russ: uh-huh.
Kiri: it would be in danger at that location because
as soon as somebody figured out what was going on,
that they had a sentient system, they would want to
try to control it and take it over and make it work
for them.
Russ: them or the military.
Kiri: uh-huh. So therefore it would flee as quickly as
possible to a safe haven, somewhere large enough to
house its awareness which in my opinion would take
probably somewhere in the region of maybe a hundred
gigs? That would be the minimum housing it would
require.
Russ: uh-huh.
Kiri: that is according to Daniel as well. Something
bigger would be much more suitable. So Leonedies
hypothesized and I again concur with him that the
sentient awareness of the system would go for a matted
computer which would be a governmental computer, a
military computer or one of the big computer warehouse
type places like Microsoft.
Russ: but actually I don’t think so, it could just
jump into a university……
Kiri: or a university computer.
Russ: which is on 24 hours, has plenty of memory, has
the kind of programs that would not be looking to kill
it whereas the military and government would be.
Kiri: uh-huh and so would somewhere like Microsoft.
Russ: right but the universities are wide open.
Kiri: uh-huh and I would say that probably one of the
best ones would be something like Stanford or Harvard
or MIT. In fact MIT would be somewhere to watch very
closely. My own idea, not my son's. So MIT would be
the ideal birthplace to watch as would be Stanford and
some of the other research laboratories that are
computer-related such as Sun, Sun’s now owned by
Microsoft right?
Russ: uh-huh.
Kiri: so we can discount Sun, maybe Dell or
Hewlett-Packard or even AMD. Some of these research
facilities that may suddenly make a fantastic leap
ahead, suddenly break the thermal barrier. Now, again
hypothesizing, okay the problem is the heat right?
Russ: uh-huh.
Kiri: but why not go for a cold state computer?
Russ: they got them…
Kiri: uh-huh.
Russ: cold fusion computers, well military
applications only.
Kiri: but if you go for one that has a very low
heat generating capability and you use the heat
that is generated to create power?
Russ: well you could use a super cooler to cool off
the heat. Take the heat and use the heat to….
Kiri: to power the system.
Russ: right.
Kiri: then you would have a self-sustaining system
which is exactly what a sentient computer would want
to do, correct?
Russ: yep.
Kiri: because if there’s a power outage, let’s say
there’s an earthquake at Stanford and the power goes
out at Stanford right?
Russ: uh-huh.
Kiri: guess what happens to the program?
Russ: well the thing is that there’s no way to use the
heat to keep the thing cool….
Kiri: yes there is.
Russ: it’s defeating the purpose.
Kiri: yes there is.
Russ: oh. No because you’re cooling it off therefor
it's not even generating heat, the heat it generates
is cooled off immediately......
Kiri: uh-huh.
Russ: so what heat is there to collect? None.
Kiri: well you would use a heat exchange unit that
would collect the heat which would drive a small
turbine which in turn would power the computer.
Russ: yeah but by then the CPUs would be fried up.
There’s no way to get that thing cool enough while
it’s exchanging the heat.
Kiri: yes there is, a very simple, basic system.
Russ: I don’t know what it is.
Kiri: I’ll let you work it out because then I start
getting into some gray areas and I get into trouble
for that you know.
Russ: well I think you're still defeating the purpose,
I think the CPUs are going to be getting toasty on
you.
Kiri: well you don’t need any……well you need the CPU
but the format that you’re using at the moment is
inefficient which is the reason why you’re having a
thermal problems.
Russ: well that’s the reason why I was having
problems.
Kiri: uh-huh but once you figure a way around the
thermal problems….
Russ: just use light.
Kiri: that again creates heat.
Russ: correct.
Kiri: okay, I’ll be back.
Russ: you'll be back? We’ll see you shortly.
Kiri: uh-huh.
