Matriculated
Alexa: Will it...? Do you think it will convert?Nonaka: To convert is its choice to make.Alexa: Do you think we ought to reprogram it?Nonaka: No. We can't make slaves of them.Alexa: Because that would be simpler.Nonaka: We won't beat the machines by making them our slaves. Better to let them join us by choice.Alexa: Make them believe the right choice is the one we want.Nonaka: All right. Yes, machines are tools. They're made to be used. It's their nature.Alexa: To be slaves.Nonaka: That's why we show them a better world, why they convert.Alexa: But that world we show them isn't real.Nonaka: It doesn't matter.Alexa: I'm afraid they'll figure out that we've made up the thing in our heads.Nonaka: They can't tell the difference. To an artificial mind, all reality is virtual. How do they know that the real world isn't just another simulation? How do you?Alexa: I know I m not dreaming now because I know what its like being in a dream.Nonaka: So dreaming lets you know that reality exists?Alexa: No. Just that my mind exists. I don't know about the rest.].]
