    In a way, these could very well be living beings, after all … In a way, indeed.

    Well we have already been informed of the Nano-fog which holds the personalities/memories of some of the early uplift pioneers.

    I guess it does depend on how you define living beings. Though I do wonder what sort of result a Turing test would get on a x thousand year old personality.

    A Turing test is worthless for proving sentience. We can actually build one of those now, provided that it is limited to text. We are rapidly approaching the point where it can pass on voice. There is no way that those systems are sentient.

    Off-site storage – if they can do this, they can put their off-site storage on the moon or somewhere else truly off-site. Or in a cave. Why here?

      That is the question, isn’t it? Why there?

        super conductors work better the colder it is right? why not build at the poles?
        makes perfect sense to me

          Super conductors require a great deal of cold. Cold far in excess of what you’d get at a pole. Building a storage facility in the open, anywhere, opens it up to a great deal of risk. Puting it on the surface of a planet with intelligent (?) beings, weather, earth movements, and so on seems to me to be very risky. Would you put your data-center backup on the North or South Pole? Outdoors? In the open? Not me. Not a chance. Therefore, it was a calculated decision – there’s something going on we haven’t figured out yet.

            “there’s something going on we haven’t figured out yet.”

            That’s the only thing that can ever be said with any certainty. 😉

            One of my favorite Sherlock Holmes quotes: “It is impossible as I state it, and therefore I must in some respect have stated it wrong. ”
