Aw, it HAD to be Javascript. I hate Javascript. Also, the question about non-volatile memory that @Magnnus has asked is important - because if we're allowed, I read a book where this is EXACTLY how the first true AI started - a semi-intelligent crawler virus-bot infected a machine full of algorithms for a game that was relevant to it's methods of spreading.
That's actually irrelevant to the book, because if you're the one who starts it, you'll find out that you have an uncle in Russia who owes the mob. Also irrelevant if you're not 14 but bleh XD
Man. That sounds like something out of a sci-fi short story. I'd love to see the source.I read a book where this is EXACTLY how the first true AI started - a semi-intelligent crawler virus-bot infected a machine full of algorithms for a game that was relevant to it's methods of spreading.
This book right here. I was lucky enough that it was free when I got it, but it's definitely worth the $4 despite the anticlimatic ending.
You're welcome. If you need to convince her, let me know - I can give a brief, spoiler-free synopsis of it.
