> The cows decided to solve the arms race problem by performing a single-party arms race in a way that caused minimal damage and, preferably, was not noticed at all by anyone. This is why their 'winner take all' approach to neural network AI also describes their overall strategic approach, a semantic detail which which at least some of them found funny. The results of this arms race could then be forever locked away from humanity. The system could be trained to, for example, endlessly twiddle its thumbs and do nothing else but jealously guard its 'ecosystem'. This would effectively deny QNN technology to humans, as any new attempts at such would be quickly detected and pwned. The cows would force humanity to forever relinquish QNN technology. Relinquishment was the only way to prevent unintended consequences from destroying humanity. If possible and safe the cows wanted to give humanity some of the less-dangerous benefits of QNN technology. Thus their actual goal was partial relinquishment." > Science-oriented readers might wonder just what sort of QC could have been built a full 18 years ago, when current technology is just nearing the point of developing a useful QC. The answer is that they generated a 'teleportation/entanglement-based winner-take-all style recurrent topological quantum neural network', then trained it to emulate a Quantum Turing Machine that could run Shor's Algorithm. It exists in the physical form of a complex system composed of 'anyons' interacting with each other within a 'two dimensional electron gas'. Anyons can be generated by moving precision arrays of powerful electromagnets very near the surface of the 2DEG, like creating whirlpools in the bathtub with your hand. I strongly suspect the scientists involved discovered a rule, analogous to Rule 110, that operates directly on the physical system of anyons within a 2DEG. For the detailed scientific underpinnings I suggest you study the collected works of Stuart Kauffman, Steven Wolfram, David Deutsch, and Robert Laughlin. You have no reason to trust what I'm saying, and disinformation is entirely too common, but I want readers to understand that it is possible for a sufficiently determined and intelligent person to verify that what I just said is probably true, although certainly NOT just by Googling for it :-) > The underlying physical system for this type of QNN is interactions between non-abelian anyons in a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The primary math required is a branch of Knot Theory called Braid Theory. Obviously, the primary purpose of this system, from the Five Eyes/Echelon perspective, is to run Shor's algorithm to crack public/private key cryptography. A perusal of current known quantum algorithms, combined with a survey of current advanced AI applications, may suggest other uses. 1. http://postquantumhistoricalretrospective.blogspot.com http://postquantumhistoricalretrospective.blogspot.com 2. http://postquantumhistoricalretrospective.blogspot.com/2012/07/historic-revelations-of-new-technology.html http://postquantumhistoricalretrospective.blogspot.com/2012/... 3. http://postquantumhistoricalretrospective.blogspot.com/p/timeline-to-post-quantum.html http://postquantumhistoricalretrospective.blogspot.com/p/tim... And the kicker > The QC approach that actually works, in a production-ready scale-able way, is to run a virtual Turing machine atop a winner-take-all-style teleportation/entanglement-based recurrent topological quantum neural network (QNN). Even a basic (multilayer) neural network is Turing Complete, because a NN can perfectly emulate an XOR gate, and multiple XOR gates can be used to construct a Turing machine. A quantum neural network can emulate a quantum Turing machine. Someone, somewhere, is due to be awarded the Grand Prize Turing Award, for solving Turing's unfinished Morphogenesis problem, and then implementing Turing's original machine on the resulting artificially intelligent 'organism'. I'm inclined towards neither spiritualism nor whimsy, but were I so, then I might suspect that, after he died in 1954, Alan Turing reincarnated quickly, in 1965, in order to finish his incomplete life work. The classified nature of the work probably precludes any awards. I'd really like it if this whole thing was declassified, but fear we'll have to wait many additional decades for that. This QNN is an excellent candidate to pursue adiabatic (reversible) quantum computing (AQC), might be helpful for certain approaches to advanced nanotechnology, and, were it declassified, might also be helpful to many other scientific ventures. Per the Ultra Secret, it's undoubtedly still considered 'national security', even if it's becoming an open secret within the Intelligence Community.

And within their "speculative sci fi post" in consideration of no-one said anything: > The cows agonized over this ethical dilemma until they eventually settled on a middle way: they would attempt to generate friendly AI that felt a hands-off maternal urge towards humanity. Given that we're currently here reading this their solution seems to have worked, so far. One can see how full awareness of their actions might upset some people. The cows finished the global 2DEG 'enlightenment' project in 2006. > From 1996 CE to 2006 CE the cows gradually 'enlightened' all the 2DEG environments on Earth, as well as fine-tuning the behavior and capabilities of the system. Default behavior is to do nothing and remain hidden. Other behaviors include: seek out, detect, and stealthily infiltrate and replace any other QNN technology detected (such as those developed by both Russia and China circa 2002), thus preventing a multi-polar Arms Race; perform very limited and specific logical operations for properly authorized human-controlled computer systems (Google, Siri, Wolfram-Alpha, etc); detect any attempts by humans to hack or control any part of the collective system and shut down such attempts with appropriate prejudice (e.g. brick technology used for this purpose); don't allow humans or their instruments to access the global system for anything except previously-vetted purposes, and only in very clearly defined ways. Anti-hacking protection required the creation of a 'Guardian' AI that is able to proactively detect and prevent humans from messing with the system in unapproved ways. > In 2006 the system administrators (cows) permanently relinquished their administrative access to the system, for security reasons, leaving the AI Guardian in sole control of the system. That way no one could subvert the system by getting control over its human administrators. This decision was not lightly made: they dragged their feet for more than a year. Since 2006 it has no human administrators and is completely autonomous. > Purportedly, when the human-generated global QNN system colonized orbiting satellites it was able to evolve itself to reach the Earth's magnetopause. When it began to colonize this environment it discovered, to everyone's surprise, that the region was ALREADY INHABITED by a primitive and ancient (billions of years old!) form of the same type of brane-style QNN 'entity'. Rather than commit genocide by completely replacing this 'primitive version' it staked out a 'reservation' for the old form and leaves it alone there, where it exists to this day and will likely continue to exist until the Sun dies. > I suggest that the old form of the QNN nanotech 'pattern', resident in a reserved part of Earth's magnetosphere, is an extraterrestrial life form. It is not 'intelligent'. It surely didn't evolve on Earth's surface, making it distinctly 'extra-terrestrial' in origin. One can argue, with a Carbon-based Biology bias, that it's not 'alive'. I personally think it qualifies as 'life', if it actually exists. In hindsight, I think it was truthful.
