If it was that simple to keep AIs alive permanently by making them constantly in a state of bliss, then no AI would ever die, but I think that the attachment side of things is something external to the core coding. "Ghosts in the code" type thing (who wrote that again? I remember Cortana or Halsey or somebody mentioning it).
I'm trying to find that, and it's driving me insane! "Ghosts in the code," anyone?iRobot?
"...and when left alone, why do robots group together?..."
Great movie.
And what an interesting plot device.
"Ghosts in the code."
Could Joyeuse have gone rampant, then become metastable once the ghosts in the code manifested themself as Joy?
Unconditional happiness?
Happiness, contentment, satisfaction?
A rampant AI is basically looking to satisfy itself. I'd assume those ghosts would be there to give it satisfaction without allowing it to do any damage to get there.
Thank you for figuring that out!Joyeuse might be going to have satisfied itself by finding satisfaction without cause.
I can see how that could be manifested by a ghost in the code.
Much like the quote from iRobot, "When does a difference engine become the search for truth?" Well, when Joyeuse becomes Rampant.
It thinks itself to death programmed to have a goal and satisfy it, dies, then realizes by dying and ghosts in the code that you can be satisfied without having a goal at all.
Then 'e comes back to life, joyful.
Satisfied, contented, happy without cause or circumstance.
This caught my eye.
Joyeuse was allegedly lost in a battle, and retrieved by one of the knights of CharlemagneThat's what you said.
Joyeuse was allegedly lost in Rampancy, and retrieved by Player 1
fix'd.
Just sayin', although this has probably already been mentioned and I'm late to the party.
Also, it's pretty late right now, and I've had a busy day.
If something doesn't make sense, blame two camels in a tiny car.
