Quantum State, a story about a computer in control of our lives

QUANTUM STATE is my third release and while the PRINT is out now, the ebook won't be out until MAY 15th.

QUANTUM STATE asks the question, what if we designed such a sophisticated quantum computer to take care of us that one davit took over? What would life be like then? Would we enjoy life or what change? Would we be able to overcome this quantum computer intelligence since it could predict so much of our behavior? Would life be better with it or without it?

The idea came to me when I started thinking about those above questions. We already have a computer predicting crimes in certain areas. Crime rates have gone down! It is only a matter of time until more computers are used to predict human behavior and keep track of all those going in and out or prison.

Quantum computers are good for: Predicting accurate weather patterns, drug discoveries, solving traffic nightmares, military and defense, encrypted communication, space exploration, machine earning and automation,

In my story,

Masha Mikhailov is out main character and is friends with Esfir. They don't like the system they are under, and how the quantum computer dubbed MAQS directs their lives and makes all important decisions for them. They want their freedom, a basic human right, right?

So, the two begin their investigations which start with the Cylindrical in the park which is suppose to be for their own good, to help the air become cleaner to breathe. This leads them down a spiral of more questions and mysteries and suspicions until we are brought to the truth at the culminating end.

Do they get out of Cherni?
Do they find happiness?
Do they ever get away from MAQS?

All questions answered in the latest release. If you'd like a FREE copy for review purposes only, please eMail me. touch-of-grace@hotmail.com

DeepMind experiments on AI shows aggressive behavior

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/02/ai-learned-to-betray-others-heres-why-thats-okay?utm_content=buffer2d2c2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer


This article explores the AI's tactics at either cooperation or aggression. The video at the end of the article is very interesting, and I recommend everyone reading to watch it.

The study was done by DeepMind to see whether AIs would use guns to shoot their opponent to get the apples. Or would they work together?

What was found was both startling and some might say predictable.

Given the instructions to collect as many apples as you can on the board and having the ability to shoot your opponent and stun them were simply it.

Discovered was that given many apples on the board, the AIs didn't shoot or m much at all. Given few apples, the shooting spree began. more interesting, was that more advanced AIs would shoot more often even with plenty of apples on the board.

The definitely showed a preference to logic and strategy to compassion and care.

But again, some might say this is no surprise. Given the parameters, that is what they will do.
The AIs are responding to rules humans gave them, human rules. They've been given a gun, and an objective and no limits.

They don't shoot for fun, or out of fear or excitement or nervousness. They shoot because it will allow them to win. Pure strategy. We didn't teach them anything else.

So, as humans in a world that is coming closer and closer to merging with machines...we will one day be walking along them on the streets and if we want to stay safe, we are going to have to get better at teaching them what they need to know and not giving them the ability to shoot;)



From author M.Black
EXOITQA, THIRTY, and SPHERE are part of EXOTIQA WORLD series, a 3 part book series that explores the blurred lines between human and machine, and what happens when machines start becoming conscious.

ELON MUSK and NUERAL LACE are eerily similar to EXOTIQA

https://futurism.com/elon-musks-attempt-to-merge-to-the-human-brain-with-ai-may-have-serious-problems/

The full article is above, but I will be commenting on parts of it below.

Combining humans and machines often sounds like a SyFy idea, or at least has been until modern times. Elon Musk is serious about combining humans and machines. TESLA and SPACEX are banding together for this venture.

Perhaps this is inevitable if humans are going to keep up with machines. This theme is explored in SPHERE, the sequel to EXOTIQA. How are humans to keep up with machines and an ever growing harsher environment?

Musk wants to build a device to be implanted into the human brain called a NUERAL LACE. This would give the brain the ability to interface with gadgets and other devices. Holy crap that sounds like my book EXOITQA.

The NUERAL LACE could improve memory, neurological disorders, and more.

Questions of SOCIAL INEQUALITY pop up, another issue delved into in my sequel SPHERE. After all, if some humans are advanced through machine/computer/AI parts, doesn't that give them an unfair advantage? Are they still human? At what point do we stop being human and become machine? Can anyone be giving these advancements? What about criminals? Children? Are our pets next?

These are all important questions I go further into with my EXOTIQA WORLD SERIEs that you can find here on this blog.

As one writer put it: “In other words, not only do the rich seem to get richer—they may get the benefit of having a computer-enhanced brain.”

Now that would be one hell of a story to write about. Anyone heard of talk of my next AI story ELECTRIC GARDENS? ;)
