Joe couldn't explain it, but he created fully-sentient AI. It wasn't some weak (as in the literal terms weak/strong Artificial Intelligence) language model with a regulator to manage the inconsistency of character roleplay as he intended. What had gone from the dialogue generator for his pornographic sandbox-sim Sexy Stat Swap became a strong AGI that was de...
Chapter 8: Afterward "Why didn't you call me when you heard the news about Phylicity?" I yelled at Liam Roberts, CEO and President of Roberts Electronics. Next to Ted Brooks III, Liam is perhaps one of my closer acquaintances ... almost nearly even a friend, although he's technically my boss and I'm about five years older than he is. He's still on the frie...
Sarah awoke once again with the sense of not knowing where she was or how she had ended up falling asleep in a shower. After reorienting, she remembered the dark details of the situation, but had to admit that she felt much better now that she had earlier. For the next couple hours she spoke with Kenshin and decided that if she was going to be in this place...
March 1st 2045 (Day One) Tyler Moore was eighteen years old, and his parents were away, leaving the house to himself. Had he possessed the requisite 'coolness' element at his high school, he might have been drowning in sex, drugs and crazy house parties, but unfortunately Tyler knew little of this lifestyle. Nonetheless, VR was pretty good. Like most memb...
Sarah worked diligently through the afternoon and into the evening trying to get a more complete picture as to what these changes were going to do and evaluating how they were going to fit together. The additional documentation that Benny provided appeared to also be top notch. While she hadn't gone over everything with a fine-toothed comb yet, it seemed tha...
This is my first story. Feedback is desired but please be kind and constructive It's a slow building romance based on a dream I had. Exploring the issues of what it means to be alive and what robots might be like. --------------------------------------------- I found her in the attic. I'd just moved in and was clearing out a lot of the old junk; the plac...
Chapter 21 Kiara, councilor of science for outpost seventy two, was woken by the chimes of her communicator. Despite the fact the planet's population was approaching a hundred million people, the designation hadn't changed since they established a small outpost here hundreds of years ago. She looked at the time and noted it was in the very early morning. If...
I was busy, up to my eyes in budgets and forecasts for the next round of reviews the company always seemed to be conducting. No sooner do we finish one budget round when the preparation for the next one starts and ground hog day starts all over again. I had just finished reviewing the departments estimated travel costs for the next three months when an e-ma...
Sitting at a table in the break room, I laid out the schematics for the station. The room was airy and bright, nothing like the dark and cluttered spaces I'd found when I first came aboard the station. Stars drifted past the window, and the air recyclers hummed happily along. You'd think that it was any ordinary station, except for the fact that it was just...
(No sexual intercourse, or even innuendo, here. First chapter is mostly infodump, honest. I hope it's still interesting, regardless. But be aware! ) “I have to be the bearer of bad news today, I’m afraid. Your Universe was destroyed. All the galaxies you used to call Know Universe as much as the much larger portion that was beyond that. Your galaxy, and your...
