iI was digging through some old files and ran across a story | |
iI started writing back in 2010 called Emergence. It's a piece of | |
ispeculative fiction about the creation of the world's first | |
iartificial intelligence. It's somewhat technical, but only enough | |
ito ground it in a reasonable scientific basis for development of | |
ithe story. My goal was to focus more on the human questions, "what | |
iconstitutes life?", "what is our place in a universe with AI?", | |
i"do our concepts of morality extend to artificial beings?". | |

iI read back on what I had written so far and it didn't horribly | |
ioffend me. The subject also seemed especially appropriate to the | |
igopher audience, you misfits with your love of old tech and duct | |
itape. I've picked it up and added it to my gopher hole. In fact, | |
iI added a whole writing section where I hope to share some other | |
igoodies in the future. For now, the first few chapters of the | |
istory can be found at the link below. Let me know what you think | |
iso far. | |
