Robot brains; pets teach God
I want to prgram the brains of robots. I want to make moving objects understand their environment. I want to make them plan. I want to make programs that anticipate actions. I want a program that will watch how I'm typing, what I'm typing. Watch the other programs I'm running. Use the microphone and camera to watch me. I want it to then use that information and guess what I want it to do. If the first thing I do when I log in is check my e-mail. I want it to learn that and start my e-mail. I then want it to learn the exceptions to that rule. If it's only been 2 minutes since that last time I logged in, don't start e-mail. If my typing is eratic, be more passive. If I seem angry or frustrated, step back the automation. I want a computer/robot that aknowledges my personality, my emotional state, and my rutine. I'm tired of righting scripts to do tasks I want to do twice. I really hate having to write exceptions into those scripts.
The programming has lots of time dependancies. It has lots of information to process. It has lots of decisions to make. It has to do what few humans can do, yet many of our pets do it automatically.
Speaking of pets, you learn a lot about God from pets.
In many way you are the god of your pets. You take care of their every need. You feed them; shelter them; bathe them; watch over them. You make rules for their protection (which they don't understand). You punish them for breaking those rules. You give them commands for many reasons (again they don't understand). You give them love, attention and affection. And they show us how we do/should treat our God. They love all the time, even after they disobay. They follow our commands even thou they don't understand them. Often they do bad things just like we do, but we still love them none the less. They are lessor than us, but we cannot imagine life without them and need them.
