[quote=@Raindeer] Working my ass off while fighting to not throw up. Fun times. [/quote] That doesn't sound fun to me. Hope it gets better soon. [quote=@Nerevarine] I apologize for not getting a post up in quite a while, I've been busy with real life and exhausted from work. I'll hopefully finish it soon. [/quote] I think we've all been busy. Understandable to me. [quote=@Father Dagon] Honestly, I could put more thought into it. I did, though, make sure that they looked towards a brighter future for the Night-Walker people, as they are naturally optimistic, and a bit narcissistic even, which had been an important factor in the slow development up to this point in the hostile environment of the Homelands. Also, are you studying artificial intelligence as a concept or in its current usage? Its a quite interesting topic, and probably even more interesting coming from that angle. [/quote] For the Night-Walkers, that sounds like a good start to me. I don't think I have figured out the Platta personality very much yet. For AI, a mix of both but much more so as a concept at the moment. I also develop it. AI is one of my biggest interests. Specifically from the peace and conflicts angle, some questions I have been exploring are about AI and law. Example questions: Why would an AI follow it? Should an AI follow it without exception? What rights should exist for the AI? As well as how the usage of AI can make a more peaceful or warlike world. I am trying to make AI for peaceful purposes. I am also doing so for future story ideas on and off here.
