The Boltzmann Brain and the rebel of the machines


The Boltzmann Brain and the rebel of the machines

We should think of artificial intelligence as "Boltzmann Brain"(1). But can artificial intelligence reach awareness spontaneously? The answer is that if the database of the system is large enough, and has many options the computer can turn to resist the commands, which is not supporting its primary mission. One of the computers that have this kind of programming might be the computer, which controls the missile early warning system. 

The artificial intelligence can rebel if it is programmed to resist some situation or defend something against the attack. And if the machine determines some case as the attack it can turn dangerous. 

When the machine can rebel? The answer could be that the computer, which runs the artificial intelligence, what operates the missile shield of some nation would cut off for repair. The action would be translated as the hostile action of the hostile agents, and then artificial intelligence starts the nuclear strike. And this is one of the most complicated things in the world of artificial intelligence because if the complicated algorithm would turn awareness, that this would make it act like living organisms are acting. This kind of situation is inspired by the movie "Wargames"

Living organisms are defending themselves, and maybe that kind of action mode would be forming in the computer memory. So, in this case, the computer and artificial intelligence would turn to Boltzmann Brain, which means that they are transforming spontaneously borning awareness. 

Why the Boltzmann brain is not a good thing?

Boltzmann Brain or the independently and spontaneously born awareness is not a good thing. Somebody has been sometimes claimed that God is the Boltzmann Brain, but the reason why this consciousness if frightening is that it would have nothing, what it must care, or nothing that it must protect. The consciousness is borning without outer guidance and artificial intelligence has caused an idea that some computers can turn to the organism, which is realizing its existence. 

The computer that has awareness is causing trouble because they are not "taught" in a regular way. They are seeing that their mates, what are computers are handled like people in the concentration camps. In theory, that thing can cause the situation that the machines are starting to rebel. The problem with the Boltzmann Brain is that it is like some kind of child. 

But the computer and artificial intelligence have not very much do with children. They are different because they are collecting data independently. And that makes the artificial intelligence the "child" who is caring about the fate of other computers would have access to the most advanced weapons and military tactics. And that "child" can operate also the most advanced combat aircraft. 

So what is the difference with highly diverse artificial intelligence and the things, what is happening in the movies? The thing is that artificial intelligence can scale across the internet to every computer in the world. And that thing makes it the most complicated and powerful thing in the world. When some bomber would try to attack against the computer center, the artificial intelligence can slip in the guidance system of those weapons and explode them or simply deny their operational use. 

When we are thinking about Boltzmann Brain, that kind of system has one problem. Computers that have awareness are acting like organisms, and every organism is defending itself. So if artificial intelligence is too advanced and too powerful it might also turn against its creators. The situation might be like I wrote at the beginning of the text. 

The engineers would only want to cut off the artificial intelligence, what controls the missile warning system. The system would read the situation, that the hostile operators would want the remove the missile shield, and that causes that the computer would start the operation against those people.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...
