I feel like this was the origin story for the computer in I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.

It’s more like the origin story for the Cymeks in Dune. Although they were at least human once.

People worry about AI taking over the world when it will probably be human machine hybrids deciding ‘yeah fuck humans’ in their giant killer Mechs.

Why can’t we get Jurassic Park before biological AI?

So if the paddle hit the ball, the cells would receive a nice, predictable stimulus. But if it missed, the cells would get four seconds of totally unpredictable stimulation.

Ah yes, my second step after building biological AI is definitely "torture it". This is sure to end well.

I still feel that silicone is more reliable than dealing with organic matter that can die.

How do they keep it alive. Do you need to feed it or keep it in special conditions? With time, as the cells age, would you lose performance?

The thought emporium has a great series of videos of the work they are doing related to this.

It was scary stuff, but radically advanced. I mean, it was smashed, it didn’t work, but…it gave us ideas, took us in new directions. I mean, things we would have never…All my work was based on it. – Miles Dyson, Terminator 2: Judgement Day

This has both more potential and more pure horror than any of the bland AI stuff we’ve been obsessing over.

That’s why we need science fiction, to not be afraid of all the abhorrent and abhorrently efficient weapons the future holds for us.

And yes, Star Wars is a very perceptive choice of name on part of George Lucas.

The scary part is that we all sit on our sweaty bottoms while such things are being developed not by bad guys and good guys to fight each other over us, but by bad guys and bad guys to fight each other over us.

I'm pretty sure if you just search the term "cyberpunk" you'd find at least five stories that start like this.
