re: #302 Aunty Entity Dragon

That is exactly how she (Samantha) went on dates with Theodore. But lack of body aside…how do you keep a relationship together with a being whose intelligence and omniscience begins to become Godlike while her ability to experience space/time like you is dwindling away due to her processing capability approaching infinity? That is the essence of the Singularity.

It actually became heartbreaking.

The web-comic “Schlock Mercenary” has actually played with this a little bit. A few AIs have essentially gone insane due to sensory deprivation for an amount of time that would be trivial to a human being. And currently one that appears to have been sealed up for a considerably longer period.
