Even at only three four posts, I'm surprised at the lack of Portal references. No deadly neurotoxins or quotes containing passive-aggressive sarcasm or mention of tasty desserts of any kind? I wonder how long this will last...
There is also a lack of Shodan referances too
Don't worry. Once you humans reach your peak of technology, I will come to rule as Goddess.

To be honest man I think that if this thing did ever escape onto the internet as soon as it hit 4chan it would decide it has found its promised land and just spend its days trolling, being racist and posting Meme's adding the term "Fag" to every sentence.

I might have been willing to accept that you were speaking in caps lock, but after you started capitalizing every other letter I simply couldn't take you seriously anymore.

Honestly, what could actually happen? You have a program that spits out nonsense?

I'm happy we're at the point were we can try to start modeling human mental conditions within a computer, not only will it help us understand them more but also help us find better ways to help the people who are afflicted with such things.

Cortana never went crazy. Sure she had a rough patch with Gravemind, but she was still stable.
You haven't watch Origins. Or don't understand rampancy.
I understand rampancy just fine. And I have watched Origins.

But Cortana did not turn against humanity in the Halo games. And by the time she goes rampant, she's in no position to hurt anyone. Except maybe Master Chief.
Doesn't Halo lead into the old Marathon games?

I'm sorry but the thought of some small part of that thing slipping out of it's module and getting on the web is a risk i would not like to take. I don't want that thing turning into SkyNet, that PC needs to go down, hard-core!
Listen to your self for a moment, slipping on the net? Thats like my blender making a phone call.

It aint gunna happen.

There's been a lot of debate on that, including the planet seen in the juicy secret ending because it bears the same symbol as the Marathon games. Maybe the Forerunners really were human and decided to destroy all life in the universe and have them restart on earth. Translation, the world of Marathon is the past of Halo, because the humans of Marathon became the Forerunners and fought the Flood.

1.) It's not A.I or anything like that, it's a network designed to imitate the learning process humans have when they hear stories. It can't possibly do anything because it's just a dumb program that simulates the natural human learning process without learning how to make decisions or anything like that.

2.) When they say network, it wouldn't be placed anywhere near the internet. Thousands upon thousands of dollars would have gone into building that network and it has no reasons what so ever to be connected to the internet. Connecting it to the internet is not only a financial expense for no reason, something no administrator will ever agree to, it is a risky move due to rogue viruses, etc.

TL;DR: Stop panicking.

Dude, what you just described doesn't even have a scientific basis. I recommend a tall glass of chill out, it's fine :p

I agree, with one nitpick - the current name is Dissociative Identity Disorder, not Multiple Personality Disorder.
I was going for the main strain, I could have included Seasonal Affective Disorder as well, or Dementia Praecox, but most people know it as Jekkyl/Hyde.
It's not so important that they made a computer insane, it's how they did it. By tweaking a parameter, they caused symptoms akin to schizophrenia, and can produce them reliably. That means that we can understand both schizophrenia and AI a bit better.

At least, if the study is as the media coverage presents it. I'll take a better look at it after finals, methinks.
The problem is that isn't really Schizophrenia (as that's not even properly defined), you've just got one of the basis's (sp?) of Schizoid Paranoia or Sociopathy. Most 'real' Schizophrenics have suicidal impulses brought on by their other voice's depression.

It's still a great leap forward though. Mental disorders such as Autism work along similar tracks, as far as we can tell.

To the Terminator/HAL crew though, you don't think a program capable of turning an AI into a Catatonic state isn't useful? They've been dividing by zero to try and do it for years.

I don't think we're near the time where we have to worry about a global computer virus killing everyone. We're just now getting robots to walk properly on different terrain.

Nah, its the other way around. Well, allegedly. Its been hinted at(a lot), but nothing confirmed.

The computer is not sentient not by a long shot, despite what James Cameron wants you to believe AI is still in its infancy and is no where near enough to become sentient or even dangerous. Hell AI is still so bad its not even good enough to challenge me at video game. Maybe beat me at chest but with chest...

Anyways, Before I start rambling senselessly theres not going to be a end of the world by some skynet or cyborgs or Y2k or a fucking ancient Mayan calendar. Everything is going to be all right.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not.
Why make a computer go insane? Because we can!

I don't know how or why anyone would be expected to read your OP.

On the plus side, someone did find an asinine application for the magazine cut-out ransom note style.

Being a pioneer is hard, stick with it and people will eventually see the light. Or not. Seriously, put some more work in next time before you hit "post".
