Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

David Ryan is the designer of ELOPe, an email language optimization program, that if successful, will make his career. But when the project is suddenly in danger of being canceled, David embeds a hidden directive in the software accidentally creating a runaway artificial intelligence. David and his team are initially thrilled when the project is allocated extra servers and programmers. But excitement turns to fear as the team realizes that they are being manipulated by an A.I. who is redirecting corporate funds, reassigning personnel and arming itself in pursuit of its own agenda. WINNER SCIENCE FICTION DIY BOOK FESTIVAL 2011-2012 Avogadro Corp is a tremendous book that every single person needs to read.

It's a problem for them, but not for the emergent] machines. -Brad Feld, managing directory Foundry Group, co-founder Techstars Highly entertaining, gripping, thought inspiring book. Don't start without the time to finish - it won't let you go. -Gifford Pinchot III, founder Bainbridge Graduate Institute, author THE INTELLIGENT ORGANIZATION An alarming and jaw-dropping tale about how something as innocuous as email can subvert an entire organization. I found myself reading with a sense of awe, and read it way too late into the night. -Gene Kim, author of VISIBLE OPS A fictional world where Portland is the hub for the most exciting advancements in technology. Jam packed with great references to deep Portland culture.and Portlandia-type references -SILICON FLORIST Hertling builds a picture of how an AI could emerge, piece by piece, from technology available today. A fascinating, logical, and utterly believable scenario - I just hope nobody tries this at home. -Nathaniel Rutman, Senior Systems Architect.…
