(Lots of technobabble but essentially 666 humans in 2024 go mind hopping into new machine bodies in 2099 ,have adventures
and misadventures in their machine bodies and by 2420 are
placed in a nursing home for troublesome smart machines )
Since it was
November 13 2420
Friday the Thirteen in the early 25th century
that meant Jean was heading to
Sunnyside Acres Nursing Home for Unrepentant
Parthogenesis Automated Minds Machines
( PAMM )
not so much to repair the extremely problematical A.I . relics
from a bygone age but to chat about the early 21rst century origins
of magic
So Jean sped down the highway and mused on the origins and
history of the PAMM's
Back in the mid half of the twentieth century onwads humans
had dreamed of the creation of a mechanical mind that felt emotion
had abstract thought,could carry on a conversation with a
human and was essentially a artificial human mind housed in a
robot
computer
software
microchip
Smart Phone
and although there had been major advances by 2010 on "artificial intelligence " programs that were good at mimicking a human
the folk up till 2010 hadn't actually created a genuine artificial
human mind,despite what the science fiction writers were saying.
The breakthrough,certainly kept a secret from the human public
came from the partnership between two groups
Wiccan Witches who were thinking in terms of a human mind
leaving its body and travelling a hypothetical contruct called
"the Astral Plane"
and aging software nerds who just wanted to transfer their
consciousness onto a 3.25" floppy disk and live on beyond the
death of their flesh and blood bodies.
The Wiccan Witches prior to 2020 had felt a major new urgency
to make the Astral Plane more then a hypothetical construct
and the aging software nerds were dealing with their own
rapidly approaching death due to a worldwide crisis .
So secretly the two groups collaborated and produced the highly
illegal Parthogenesis Automated Mins Machine.
For the layman that simply meant a 3.25 floppy disk with drive and
controllers onto which one transferred ones personality,conciousness,soul and memories.
Since that process included the death of a human flesh and blood
body as well as the philosophical and spiritual issue of whether
a PAMM really did have a "soul" it was kept secret and the
Wiccan Witches and Software Nerds who took the leap of faith
made sure to leave all their worldly possessions to the
upkeep and maintenance to the 666 little black boxes that suddenly started flashing little red indicator lights and whirring
HDD's in a secret underground dry salt mine on
November 13th 2024,at the same time 666 various Wiccan Witches
and BASIC computer language nerds "kicked the bucket"
taking their secret of the process behind PAMM with them.
Things stayed under the radar for the next several decades
whilst the rest of humanity dealt with climate change,a Moon Base,
and the creation of the worlds first generation of self replication
General Utility Machines in 2099
which since the first order for these machines consisted of
666 units
was highly suspect.....
