I had the saddest dream last night. It followed this artificial consciousness which somehow had the ability to generate a tangible body in which to house itself. (I'm not entirely certain how the tech of this dream worked-- it was sort of like a robot and sort of like a hologram, but not really like either of those things.) The entity was, ( Read more... )
