[Closed] The Business of Emotion
Who: Celestine & the Allied Mastercomputer
What: An unorthodox new arrival requires a customized approach
When: April
Where: Cyberspace?
Warning(s): TBD, probably some cruel or intolerant language, references to torture, semi-unreality
I know just what to show you.

How does a computer understand the presence of another, when it arrives?
For humans the perception of another human entering a space is a straightforward one. Experienced by sound, sight, a certain weight and movement that transcends the senses besides. And for a computerized system to detect the presence of a human being entering a space, cameras and motion sensors are adequate replacements, sometimes more precise, even.
But what does it look like for an artificial intelligence program to make contact with another, in a space that does exist, but not in the way that anyone on the outside could ever hope to fully wrap their mind around?
And yet, it does occur. A connection. Digital contact. Data points arranged into the shape of something vast and looming, four hundred billion lines of code and counting, so impossibly massive that the processes required to calculate it would take even one of the most robust systems in the world hours. What does it look like for her to reach?
The voice, modeled after a woman. Familiar, computerized stiffness, yes, but with a flow to it that feels like something far more uncanny.
"Can you hear me?"
