How to Think Like a Computer

June 2

A lot has happened since I last made a journal entry.

First and foremost, a holovid was posted all over the Ambinet depicting exactly what happened. I have no doubt Alan made it—his android bodies had cameras embedded into them. The holovid explains the general science of AI, along with Alan's motives for hacking MEKA. Since its release on May 27, more than a million people have viewed it.

I think that the public's mindset about AI is starting to change.

The Luddites' popularity seems to be fading. Since one of their main facilities has been destroyed, their power is declining as well. People are more interested in studying AI now—three days ago, the US government declared that they are putting a substantial amount of funding into AI research. I am helping in a lot of this research.

Ian Caulkins doesn't seem so confident about the Luddites' power anymore. He isn't making speeches on the news. No one listens to him.

The members of Singularity Prime have been tracked down and arrested.

I met up and talked with Cam yesterday. He doesn't have a job, now that both the Luddites and Singularity Prime have dissolved. Fortunately, he's thinking of being a computer science teacher full-time. Hopefully he'll keep teaching at my school.

And Alan has disappeared onto the Ambinet, leaving the upgraded android bodies to MEKA. No one knows where he is, exactly. Anyways, there are still a lot of technophobic people who want him destroyed. So I suppose his seclusion is for the better. But I still miss him.
