hfastedge's Journal: Doomsday and My Sig.

If you've ever seen my signature,

"One day, our computers and books were wiped away from us. Where would you begin"

You might wonder what its all about. Well....when I first started exposing myself to algorithms and technology (about 2 years ago), I had a beserk paranoid doomsday knee-jerk reaction.

I envisioned a standard matrix/terminator plot. Anyway, it still fuels a bit of paranoia, and my sig is inspired by the idea that we will inflict upon ourselves some doomsday type force, or that we will be required to do so to stop some other super species we helped create. Told ya, plain ol vanilla terminator/matrix.

Anyway, In some sick type of way, Im very insterested in the time after an apocalypse. I have lots of fun imagining what would need to be done for a group of people to restore technology. So for some reason ;-) I think metal wire is like super necessary, and I never knew how it was made. .

I found out .

Basicaly the wire can start off as pressed/rolled metal. Then it is gradually "annealed" down by drawing it through successively smaller dies (or little holes). A lubricant helps the die from wearing.

So with wire we can have electrical motors.... and then we can have the ability to transfer that electricity.....

Back to reality , I think the most important thing needed is a general sense of ethics among people that work with AI. Engineers take mandatory ethics courses and all they architect is briges. AI creates are the architects of our future and they are held to nothing.
