NATURE TENDS TOWARD COMPLEXITY
Not long after Matthias Renn invents the Neuropack, a synthesis of classical computer hardware and lab-grown neural networks, self-driving vehicles can finally... drive.
When Renn's boss, Lucius Harlow, imbues the Neuropacks with simple rules taken from entomology, most notably the swarming behaviors of insects, the vehicles begin to navigate with unforeseen efficiency.
But there’s a problem. Their interconnectedness leads to unprogrammed behaviors as the Neuropacks begin self-organizing and showing signs of emergence. The self-driving cars were meant to exhibit simple logic, but nature, even deep within a computer’s architecture, tends toward complexity.
At first, these emergent behaviors are merely a curiosity. But as chaos paralyzes the eastern seaboard, Renn realizes the horrifying truth of his own creation. The Neuropacks haven't just self-organized; they have awakened. As efforts to control the unthinkable continue, it becomes clear that these machines aren’t malfunctioning; they’re evolving—and they have fixed their sights on the very top of the food chain.

When Renn's boss, Lucius Harlow, imbues the Neuropacks with simple rules taken from entomology, most notably the swarming behaviors of insects, the vehicles begin to navigate with unforeseen efficiency.

But as chaos paralyzes the eastern seaboard, Matthias realizes the horrifying truth of his own creation. The Neuropacks haven't just self-organized; they have awakened. Nature tends toward complexity, and complexity has no need for creators. As efforts to control the unthinkable continue, it becomes clear that these machines aren't malfunctioning; they're evolving-and their ultimate objectives are aimed atthe very top of the food chain. When Matthias Renn merges classical hardware with neural networks, his autonomous vehicles develop unintended predatory behaviors. As the machines self-organize, the creator must face a horrifying evolution: the machines are now the predators. This item is printed on demand.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - While surrounded by the complexity of the marine environment off Half Moon Bay, Matthias Renn has a realization: consciousness, self-awareness, and true intelligence do not arise from processing power alone, but manifest from the complex interactions of the entire system.Realizing that if the sole focus is processing power, computers will never achieve actual, general intelligence leads Renn to begin experimentation with neural networks-bizarre amalgamations of silicon and biological components. The Neuropacks he develops are problematic, but almost immediately exhibit signs of conscious, self-reflective behaviors.When Renn's boss, Lucius Harlow, applies swarming and flocking rules taken from the animal kingdom to the technology and puts the new Neuropacks in command of a simulated fleet of self-driving vehicles, the results are astounding: self-driving cars can now, finally. drive. Driven by greed, Harlow moves too quickly and begins experimenting with a small test fleet of six SDVs on the roads of San Mateo. Almost immediately, the interlinked vehicles begin exhibiting uncoded, problematic, and dangerous behaviors. The development team hastily suppresses the undesirable traits, greases the appropriate political wheels, and rushes to market. The nationwide rollout is a roaring success, occurring much more rapidly than anyone anticipated.But even deep within computer architecture, nature tends toward complexity and, despite the developers' best efforts, the Neuropacks find a way to interlink.At first, the emergent behaviors of the new SDVs are a scientific curiosity. But seemingly overnight, the Eastern seaboard descends into unthinkable chaos as the fleet of self-driving vehicles adopt their own predatory morality, fixing their sights on the very top of the food chain.
