Science Fiction Monologue
Megalomaniacs and Gigantophobs, Volume 31, 2013
The creation of an artificial intelligence meeting the Turing test is a technical-scientific challenge of the future. If this succeeds, it will revolutionize the entire human culture and also develop itself further; itslimit is only the available computing capacity. It will stimulate the technical development so that it could postpone this limit virtually to infinity. Whether on this way a qualitative leap takes place which can be interpreted as some „becoming conscious“, or is it all just a simulation in an ever growing hyper computer inside of an asteroid? According to its (his?) own opinion, if at all, only after a centuries long development. Researches on chronions (time particles) allow passing the time on the asteroid (much) faster. However, something unexpected happens, and a more interesting question arises.
