Boy, am I glad I found those disgruntled scientists in the subbabasement!
They announced another breakthrough overnight.
For the past few days, they have been struggling with the new supercomputer, trying to coax intuition out from the “subconscious” algorithm thought patterns within it.
They found positive results once again.
The echo effect.
By using WiFi, Bluetooth, and other radio frequencies available with the mobile phone chipsets and peripherals of the supercomputer, the scientists were able to create feedback loops for the various parts of the supercomputer, allowing it to randomly send repeating facts into a decaying pattern from which algorithms would pick out two or more facts and combine them, sending the combo back into the feedback loops, letting them decay, etc. Eventually, an algorithm would test a combined set of facts by posting the facts as a statement in online chats associated with a keyword of the fact set. If enough comments were generated by people reading the supercomputer’s post, it labeled the fact set valid, stored it in longterm memory, and looped segments of the chat log through its feedback system, putting in delays to slow down the decay rate based on “like” data or other information gathered from social media about the fact set.
The supercomputer also spends long amounts of time generating long lists of facts, storing them in its longterm memory as equations and processing external requests from the scientists using its new equations rather than ones created by the scientists.
Based on the scientists’ feedback, the supercomputer modifies its equations and randomly pulls facts from its radio frequency network decaying feedback loops to throw at the scientists in new responses.
Some responses are as funny as the best comedian’s riff on news headlines.
