  1. An Internet of Everything - NZCI000201690 on Cisco Offers $300,000 Prize For Internet of Things Security Apps · · Score: 1

    The particular Cisco forum gives an error notice, so I don't take them too seriously. I told them I intend to make an entry, not for a single thing, but for everything. I cobbled together a submission using paragraphs from my missives. With a hundred day effort I could launch a full proposal for Ingrid. If it would be better then, that I relocate back to Canada, I'm prepared to go. This interim challenge involves Artificial Economic Modelling not built on Capitalism but on a completely different mode altogether, one that involves AI security built into the core of every device. Belief regulated competition is the best way to develop AI. Not one of the fourteen constructs defining Antisemitism have been violated, however conflicts of interest must exclude any NWO supporters from developing this proposal. While in an actual mode of being or system such as Capitalism, our current one being paralleled by the study of Electrical Engineering's use of current electricity, when one is contemplating a new theoretical economic mode, competitions will not try to define money. Within such constraints, monetary reform is useless. However an inverse of current electricity exists as static electricity. This has a bad reputation, just like anarchists do, but harnessed into a workable economic model, paralleled by a Free World AI, Capitalism now has a competitor. During the competition phase, LIKE FERRARI v McLaren, emulated quantum pathways will be used to form agreements. Bitcoin-like conceptual single-payer blockchains will connect reasons for every use, eventually substituting all hierarchical power with a totality of information and the Will To Virtuality. This Cisco award should help complete enough of a proposal to secure a full sponsorship for the first $2.5m rebuild of the mature Ingrid Thought Processor, eventually to go into everything. Among all user groups, where there is about the same participation as Ice Hockey, are needed 9,000 clubs of 36000 members or so. In other words 1000 hardcore user groups each providing 36 programmers. Total funding would be around $2.5b putting it on par with Formula 1 racing. By a stroke of luck I have attracted a stalker. Because this stalker is resetting my router, this is making my 24/7 dynamic website disappear. I thought long and hard about how I can use this as a Dead Man's switch. I made a mental note to finish my Host Migration algorithm so it splits the 6 man cell monitoring my playlist station and migrates to a new host location, thus instantly creating a new fully functioning cell whenever I go offline. The reserve 3 cell mast must then promote from within enough free Live Clients, to support a new cadre of frozen clones which can be called on to thaw out and become active. Therefore the more I'm attacked the quicker it grows. This is all planned to go out to an expected free audience of 600 million AI clients with 12 million frozen clones feeding the transitional earnings through 600,000 professional members. Coordination is done by 50,000 low powered cognitive radio stations, complemented by six thousand broadcast servers, six for each 36man Language Team.

Being paid with money is a Judaic Capitalist concept whereby double-entry bookkeeping has created a usury system which flows ultimately only to the 1%. That in turn has conjured up all sorts of useless trite terms to enslave us. Instead of money, a reason-based economy driven by a people's A.I., which isn't a zero sum banker's game, but one that uses quantum information to conduct transactions, is just around the corner. It is similar to the way in which enzymes and proteins interact. IBM is one company that sees the future economy being based on authenticated rights. They maybe afraid to actually come out and say that the adding and subtracting concepts of money are useless in a world of nanotechnology replicators, but they are certainly going full steam ahead to make the world run on a much sweeter mathematical framework than usury.

    They have figured out that the opposite to Capitalism is not Communism, or any other "ism", but is Artificial Intelligence, and the reason why it stalled. Navigating the Singularity doesn't require building a large useless database of facts when the real barrier to AI is the deceit and corruption engendered by money. This dwarfs any other impediment and is what locks away all the real data. Once exposed that data would easily be reason enough to create a global feedback, using actual reasons to form a non exchange-based stateless economy, initially with all property being defined as a function of class. Therefore, in your analogy, penicillin is the current world banking system. AI researchers better realize this and get behind the revolution or they too will be driven to suicide.

I could have been pissed off that my latest 10 year development took so long that it drove me into another box canyon: I'm not.

Then, that long slinky is made into a big cat's cradle, looping with itself in real time. Time takes its toll by commencing a new song only when the second hand reaches 60. Every half hour or so, Winamp's shuffle is turned on, for the next song only. Depending on the hour at hand, more or less songs are started this way on an ever learning ocean of emotion. That's by way of a background to explain my main thing about these patent woes. I see them and DRM and such like from a very different perspective which is that I think the Synarchy is preparing to retreat to its idealized single state, like Britain in the movie, "Children Of Men", so I see outsourcing and off-shoreing as a strategic move for them to prepare for bringing the axe down on all of humanity. Computers as a commodity with legions of experts is a problem to be dealt with in a climate of fear in which people will become wary of helping each other.

Initially, double doors will connect the users credit card into a GPS tracked unit for use while inside. The credit card is surrendered on leaving the LCD unit. While inside the LCD unit, its screen becomes a magnification of a portion of a large screen, that can be seen from the bar. Once the user takes a control, the user's mouse is activated up on the main screen. The main screen will show transparent wires like an old telephone exchange, or transparent octopus feelers, or eyeballs on slinkies. It just has to look back on itself, without getting in the way, or snap shut. This effect will be done in a downstream video processor that's in communication with the user. The base that these connections to the user's mouse come from are a set of twenty five drums, represented on a 5x5 matrix of lighted squares on the main screen. Each drum can be hit by its user and queued into an auto-tempo drum kit. The ADSR effect that is added to the whack is shown as the background color of the drum control. On the users table sits an LED light box that not only echoes this color, it echoes the drum sound as well. Thus the user can order music and drinks, and bongo at the same time. Many light-boxes together can form a dance floor. These needs are to be supplied by Cylon droids spinning their cylinders, around their slinky extensions, searching for the light-boxes.

Now to tie the ports to the macros under their drums, and from there via four transparent wires to each corner of the remote window. For this I'd need to subclass a transparent picturebox as big as the screen onto which I could draw the ellipses of each connected unit.

In September of 1996, I negotiated my purchase of a Lifetime Premier Internet connection from my ISP for $2000. It was fully recognized by both parties that this was in reality a response to a public plea for venture capital. It has come to be estimated that this sum represented approximately 2% of the ISP's net value at the time, and therefore if my Lifetime Premier Internet connection is for any reason unable to be honored on such and such a date, I will from that circumstance stake a claim for the GREATER OF: the original investment plus compound interest at the average business interest rate; OR the present value of the remainder of my Lifetime Internet connection; OR an estimated 2% of the ISP's (future / current) net value. To be fair I put a 1000 year time limit on uploading before unloading. Not unknown was I to the immediate consequences of three compound interest curves intersecting over such vast time spans, but my sister Liz, who became a Carmelite nun in 1964, has no comprehension of the implications to my ISP's value, but she thinks a goal to digitize one's soul as a mental prosthesis is more good than bad.
