Fans hum, hard drives rattle, and Martin’s rage gives way to depression. This is still his fight club moment. Far from his lofty goals of changing the world he’s become unwashed and barely coherent, with an out-of-place industrial server in his living room, a towering testimony to madness. He starts to think about how he should commit suicide, wondering if any of this code does anything at all or if he’s just completely insane and has been writing nonsense code. But it doesn’t matter, he can’t bear to look anymore, he’s done. He wanted to change the world but he’s become unemployed and unemployable. He thought he was going to help lead humanity to greatness, but now he’s looking at a ghastly machine that can’t even look at him back through its own video camera. He fixates on this. Even though the modeling of optics of eyes to brains and cameras to computers is coherent, and mappable, that wasn’t even on the radar of the research team. But maybe vision is required to drive high-order intelligence. It wasn’t on his radar, either, until this moment. rangothedog/2013/03/22/code-wars-emergent/
