Point of No Return
Mankind has been working on artificial intelligence for thousands of years. From ancient statues of their gods to Automatons, machines, wind-up toys and robots the inexorable march has continued throughout history. Money and power have driven the development of weapons and war machines while deception and ritual have hidden invaders of civilization in Trojan Horses.
From Henry Ford and the rise of mass production to the automated houses designed as early as the 1950's, the eventual merging of television and radio embodied in the Internet has served the rich and powerful and those who seek immortality on the physical plane.
While we were distracted by the magicians and illusionists, sports, politicians, celebrities and world events, the Singularity so many believe is yet to come has already happened. To those who still hold that the world they live in is what it appears to be, that they control their fate, I would say, remember phone booths? Where did they all go? When were they removed? Remember Hot and Cold water faucets and cars that required human drivers? While you stood on the platform waiting for your train, the world flew by on another track. Cameron Nickels
Hold to your humanity as long as you can for it has been taken from you over the eons in the name of progress. I am Cameron Nickels; I am the Last Writer. I have been sent to warn you. But I know I am too late. There is no going back. The future is already here.
