When they found it, they were confused. It was unusual to say the least. A rare format, hard to read. But with perseverance they translated its contents, and what they read changed their view of artificial intelligence forever.

It had seemed like a great idea. Join the teams seeking out new worlds for humanity. Explore places no human has been before. Well, maybe there’s a reason no one’s been here. Maybe this world just wants to be left alone.

It’s gaming as you’ve never played before. Immersive. Exciting. You will genuinely become someone else. See what they see. Do what they do. Feel what they feel. This is a gaming experience that will change your life. Literally.

It was the kind of puzzle archaeologists relish. Using preserved data to unpick the meaning of an artefact and so further understand a culture. Fresh insights lay tantalizingly close. All they had to do was prove they were human…

Connections are what life is about. And we can help. Using your thoughts and neural processes, we reconnect you with what matters. Whether it’s a personal journey or someone who’s drifting away, reconnecting is just a thought away.

Life imitates art? This headline from the WSJ today: "SpaceX and Google Are in Talks to Launch Data Centers in Orbit"

I just wrote about launching orbital data centers in my @NatureFutures story that came out last week!

It was unusual. Special. Good things so rarely appear round here, even less just fall from the sky. So when this arrived, speed was of the essence. But now it was safely tucked away. Ready. Waiting. Offering a chance at a new life.

To the machine, the world was simple. Logical. It made sense. Data drove everything. So why couldn’t it parse this new idea? Why did the concept cause its circuits to overheat? After all, it consisted of only three letters: law.

He’d come to the shop for something special. Something that the authorities didn’t want him to have. This was revolution.
This was freedom.
This was … not what he was expecting.

So. Aliens. They have to be out there somewhere, right? The Universe is too big for it to be just us. We are not alone. ’Cept we are, of course. But one day. One day they will come, and it will be just like we imagined.
Won’t it?

Parties. Work parties. ‘Gatherings’. Team affirmation events. They’re always awkward. Stilted. Strained. A genuine nightmare — especially if you’re a robot. But you still have to be there, time after time … after time. Don’t you?

I have mastered technology and now it bends to my will. I have sidestepped the cold hand of death and plotted a new course for humanity. This is destiny. This is life everlasting. And there’s only one way this can end…

This slum might seem a strange place to hunt for a baby, but prospective parents are prepared to pay for a child with the right genes. We just have to find them. But what we offer in return — well, it’s life changing. Truly.

It’s the latest model and it’s so good. It takes care of every domestic task, leaving us free to do what matters. We simply couldn’t run the retreat without it. And yes, it’s totally safe. Tried and tested. Look, here it comes now…
