...through the scariest of scenarios
Enter experiences that you normally wouldn't dare to go~
If I can find the link, I'll put it up here. But IBM announced that they've made a major breakthrough in "AI" so to speak, more like cognitive computing. The supercomputer that they've used to put this into action utilizes 147,456 processors and 144 TB of main memory. !!! FUCK!
But, the simulation used 1.6 billion neurons and 9 trillion synapses, putting it over cognitive capacity of a cat, and about 50% of a monkey's brain, or 5% of a human brain. IBM, for all intents and purposed, has a breathing, THINKING, brain simulator. It learns from memory, keeps in mind old scenarios, and can piece together and LEARN things that an AI would have to be programmed to do. Scary enough yet? Well IBM says they're 10 years away from a cognitive computing simulation that can mimic the human brain with astounding accuracy. They're already talking about being able to produce microchips and nanochips to fill in for part of your brain should you undergo brain damage or massive head trauma. THAT is scary shit. I can't help but think of HAL-9000 type things, or even Terminator-esque images - computers that eventually learn enough to realize that we're exploiting them for our benefit. That they're smarter, faster, and stronger than us. Ehhhhh, I'll pass on AI. They're even already talking about these cognitive computers being able to be used for QA on assembly lines, taking care of and tracking financial trading, even understanding and comprehending live audio and video feeds. That's straight up scary shit. And will unemployment rise as a result? Because after so long, couldn't we just have them build themselves? Why use manpower when you can have a computer and servos and take care of it all for you? *shudder*
Other than that, things are their usual, fucked up version of "normal." But fuck it, normal is overrated.
Agent X still "doesn't want to be in a relationship," so we're still on interim, it's whatever. She has no problem being with me, she still tells me she loves me, she still makes sure that if I come over at night I at least lay in bed with her until she falls asleep if I'm not going to stay overnight. She's still a fan of PDAs and still giggles despite herself every time we're walking around somewhere and I grab her hand. She still blushes every time I open the door of my car for her, and her eyes still sparkle when I first see her. Soooo, I'm just working on the final piece of the puzzle - why she won't just let us go back to us, instead of "let's just enjoy being where we are, together." FFffaaaahhhh. I'm not waiting forever, which leads me to...
Common sense would tell me to not be messing around with my little sister's friends. But that bone in my pants shoots common sense out the window, and replaces it with a thought much along the lines of "you dealt with her for 19 years, hooking up with her now hot and legal friends is getting what you owe." Haha. But really, one of her friends and I have been spending some time together. We hooked up almost a year ago, and since then she's been with the same guy. The hookups stopped because A) we didn't want my sister to find out B) she started to grow a conscience about her boyfriend. Recently we've spent a lot more time together, and she's on really bad terms with her boyfriend. I took her home last night, at around 4am, and we sat on her porch swing and smoked a bowl. Then we just sat there talking while we cuddled under a blanket til almost 7:30 or so, she kissed me goodnight and I came home. Like I said, part of me says stay far away from it, because my sister has already expressed her disgust with me fucking her friends when I was dating Gloria, and I should respect that. But the larger growing part of me says you've known this girl for 10 years now, have watched her grow up into a beautiful young woman, and if she wants you, why the fuck not?
I would have no problem avoiding the temptation if I had a girl to whom I needed to remain faithful. Problem is that I don't, and when Gene is single, he's easy to seduce, hahaha. But how can I approach Agent X about the quagmire, without sounding like "look you can have me, or I'm having someone else, take your pick." Because, well that sounds crass and ignorant. Ah, the little dramatic problems that flow into my life and give me something to brood on.
But yeah, I slept from 10AM to 1PM, so I'm feeling ummm, dead to the world at the moment. So here's another disjointed update that I probably just posted to keep myself awake, I'm not even sure anymore. As a result, I expect grammatical and spelling errors.
payce bitches.
