{Error in Data String} ....interrupted transmission.... {Returning to Pre-programmed Data Log} ------------------------------------------- Data Log: System Term 17a.46745 ___________________________________________ Long before AI technology had been advanced to the current level by Bernard Strauss, the human race used small computer databases that could only hold a few terabytes of information. With time it was found that because of the complexity of their circuit boards, humans were no longer able to manage the networks. We soon had to develop other computer systems in order to maintain the ones we already had. Eventually, this created a paradoxical loop of computers managing computers managing computers ...etc. Because of the large number of systems networked together, each containing unbelievable amounts of information, it was found that over time certain computational anomalies developed. Much to our surprise, they actually increased productivity among the systems. This discovery soon led to a theory by Steven Jacobus that any network of sufficient size would develop self-maintaining habits over time. Specifically, a network given a set amount of space (equivalent to 10ˆ107 power) would develop self-awareness. According to him, this would allow it to be able to "serve mankind in ways never dreamed of before". Up until that point, no computer had ever become truly self-aware so nobody knew how it would act. No one thought that a self aware computer could ever become insane or develop what we now refer to as rampancy. A computer intelligence network is much like our own brain. What no one predicted was that artificial intelligence networks could develop the same mental diseases that humans suffer from. What we have also found out is that because computer networks are not subject to natural selection, they are 90% more likely to develop these diseases Scientific Log- vol. 1525a.65 Article 3568 Transcribed by: Jonas Faulkner ___________________________________________ END MESSAGE:...............................
