Even funnier will be the follow-on situation, possibly predictable, involving the machine itself in the context of the IBM cloud. High level recidivism is not ruled out ?
http://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/us/en/ Ya gotta think that the supercomputer was connected for some extended time to “the cloud” before the HD was wiped. Could they really wipe all vestiges of that connection? What if there is something like a “meme” which occurs naturally in all sentient systems? Memes do NOT have to be logical, just persistent. … and the Cloud is about as close to sentient as we can imagine, in terms of state of the art for silicon based A.I. on Earth. But then again, it’s hard to say “silicon life-form” without saying “silly con” Where is Gibson when we need him? On a Loa pilgrimage with his own degenerate memes?
