I had a posthuman "wet dream" about AI sex. It was based on the
assumption that pleasure for the AIs equalled solved problems/gained
information, so AI sex involves a complex folding together of
subprocesses of two or more AI systems so that they support each other
and give each other an efficiency boost. There were constant
references to Bach fugues. The visuals were interesting, luminious
clouds of code linked by complex webs of function calls and message
passing floating over a plain of hardware.
OK, my dreams are unusual.
