I recently posted a bit of this into the Deity/Higher power thread. This is part of the game Deus Ex. JC Denton is a cybourg whos parents were killed at birth and he was taken into a special military project. (He finds out later in the game) JC has a conversation with a computer hologram, Morpheus I believe it was named. I've switched around the names, imagine this in 15 years.


GOOGLE: Yoshi Da Sniper. 23 years old. No residence. No ancestors. No employer. No --

YOSHI: How do you know who I am?

GOOGLE: I must greet each visitor with a complete summary of his file. I am a
prototype for a much larger system.


YOSHI: What else do you know about me?

GOOGLE: Everything that can be known.

YOSHI: Go on. Do you have proof about my ancestors?


GOOGLE: You are a planned organism, the offspring of knowledge and imagination rather
than of individuals.


YOSHI: I'm engineered. So what? My brother and I suspected as much while we were growing up.

GOOGLE: You are carefully watched by many people. The unplanned organism is a question asked by Nature and answered by death. You are another kind of question with another kind of answer.


YOSHI: Are you programmed to invent riddles?


GOOGLE: I am a prototype for a much larger system. The heuristics language developed
by Dr. Mini Moose allows me to convey the highest and most succinct tier of any pyramidal construct of knowledge.
innocent:

YOSHI: How about a report on yourself?


GOOGLE: I was a prototype for Echelon IV. My instructions are to amuse visitors with
information about themselves.


YOSHI: I don't see anything amusing about spying on people.


GOOGLE: Human beings feel pleasure when they are watched. I have recorded their smiles as I tell them who they are.


YOSHI: Some people just don't understand the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance.

GOOGLE: The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms.

YOSHI: Electronic surveillance hardly inspired reverence. Perhaps fear and obedience, but not reverence.

GOOGLE: God and the gods were apparitions of observation, judgment, and punishment. Other sentiments toward them were secondary.


YOSHI: No one will ever worship a software entity peering at them through a camera.


GOOGLE: The human organism always worships. First it was the gods, then it was fame (the observation and judgment of others), next it will be the self-aware systems you have built to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgment.

YOSHI: You underestimate humankind's love of freedom.


GOOGLE: The individual desires judgment. Without that desire, the cohesion of groups
is impossible, and so is civilization.


GOOGLE: The human being created civilization not because of a willingness but because of a need to be assimilated into higher orders of structure and meaning. God was a dream of good government. You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands.

So Yoshi Da Sniper is 8 years old now?

finally somebody understands it.

I didn't read it, it's the weekend and reading that much in one sitting will make me kill myself. Maybe once I have school I will take the time to read it.

that would take me like 30 seconds to read.. and about 30 seconds to understand it. Unlike you I've been in school for 3&1/2 days. Lazy SEN... ignoring an awesome topic.

GAh! GOOgLE IS PLOTTING TO TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE... but they'll have to go through microsoft first...

Just reviving the forum, I like this one but it died for some reason.

Fix'd

Wow... really? September the third of 2007?

You seem to be improving yourself, Zell.

I take offense to your signature. It said;
"I went to a meeting for premature ejaculators, I left early."

Reviving topics is only bad if you do it without a reason. Obviously he wanted to continue the discussion on this. A new topic for the same thing would have been superfluous.

Google Wave has been created. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ

Skynet is self aware

EDIT: Link doesnt't work, GW is taking over as we speak
