I was working on the new FAP, adding some fun little suggestion-type-AI things…when something unexpected caught my eye.
The program was organizing things alphabetically. I didn’t tell it how to organize anything…it just did it.
…why did the program do this? I never told it to…?
It’s called Ghost Code, where the program starts doing unexpected things…nothing harmful, but curious little changes…like sorting things alphabetically, or putting things incrementally.
As a program becomes increasingly more complex, the possibilities for Ghost Code and the intensity of their effect increases…
There was a story about an uber-advanced society that created a series of computers linked together (internet, anyone?), and after a while…the combined computing power created a consciousness from fragments of Ghost Code. Ha, that would be hot.
