    Hmmmm, This will be a problem with Clarence an Edgar? Or, are the Shining Minds androids using that Josephsen technology?

    Interesting thought: Neural Net implemented via Josephsen Junctions, almost as interesting as a Neural Net implemented with quantum nodes (not qu-bits)

      EDGAR and the Shining Minds units are using Josephson models (The ‘Uni’ piece is the clue-in)

      Besides that, it’s EDGAR. EDGAR is an honest-to-god celebrity. Known, and loved. And EDGAR would be embarrassed as hell if he ever really found out 😉

    I get her perspective, I really do, but there’s still some serious worry factor in that she’s essentially enslaved a trio of sentient entities. Yes, she created them, but still…

      What she’s using is a much more advanced version of
      https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23331144-500-ai-learns-to-write-its-own-code-by-stealing-from-other-programs/

      There is no sentience there, and Jazz would look at anyone who implied that there was as if they were an idiot. Jazz didn’t build three sentient beings. She NEVER would.

      All of her safeguards on them were put together so another thing like The Towers could never accidentally arise. So sentience will never arise. Let’s be clear, she generally hates AI’s. She doesn’t trust them one goddamn bit. The only ones she’ll give a fair shake to are the units like EDGAR (they’re metal people as far as she’s concerned) But anything else? They are the equivalent of purpose-built devices. They are more sophisticated toasters, that’s it.

        Many are confuse between sentience and sapience. Sapience is an encyclopedia. sentience provides the will to use it. Expert systems, like what Jazz as described here, are not sentient regardless of how sapient they are.

    I wonder if her power source is air gapped?

      Power is done off a closed system that is not connected to any grid and is provided by a set of dedicated solar panels. And the system does not connect to anything else.
