He plunges into the state of the art AI systems, machine learning, neurolinguistics, the philosophy of reason, and the art of computation. He spends years recklessly studying and developing, refining his methods. He builds networks, distributed memory, association machines, response mapping, language trainers, and finds he cannot continue. The technology is too slow; to continue, he must advance to the next stage of computation. He picks up books on quantum mechanics, material sciences, electrical engineering, the mathematics behind quantum waves and particles, and builds his machine. The machine was a quantum simulator; it took a computation core and a number of atoms for storage. He built a virtual reality. He started with basic atoms, then molecules, followed by biochemicals and proteins. It took picoseconds of simulation to reach the next step,and his simulations were ready instantly. He studied evolution, genetic algorithms, and neuroevolution. One day, after enough coaxing, he built the perfect virtual reality, with living human-like organisms inside. As far as they were concerned, they were human. Their world was copied from the outside reality. He set the simulator to run at a constant speed, and connected them to the internet. They wrote code, they built companies, they transfered money. One ninth of all internet users are from the outside world, and the number is shrinking. We are all spambots, my friend.
This makes me think about the cartoon Code Lyoko
