In Response To: Weaponized Transhumans: Halo, Deus Ex, Crysis... (General Battuta)
: In the long term, the agent driving that Mjolnir armor should be Cortana, not
: the Chief. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already - the meat is
: obsolete; something new has arrived on the scene. Our games present us
: with transhumans gilded in power armor, but it's the armor that's on the
: rise, and the human on the fall. ( Crysis Legion , written by Peter Watts
: and almost - almost - more than a media SF tie-in, makes this point far
: better than Fall of Reach did.)
: Thoughts?
Can machines be lucky? Does the divine intervene on behalf of an AI? Is destiny applicable to lines of code? Does any of that matter?
I was a little taken aback by the suggestion that the Chief was obsolete. Logical conclusion, but emotionally repulsive. As humans, we like to believe that we bring something subtle, intangible to the universe. But maybe we are just fooling ourselves. How will recognizing our own obsolesence affect our psyche?
Interesting read, indeed.
