| Personal background |
|---|
I'm just another gamer/programmer/developer, from a hill in the middle of nowhere.
I'm hoping to maybe make a living as a game developer, but thus far, I haven't actually released any real games. Among the hordes of other gamedevs, there's nothing really of note about me.
When I'm not playing or making games, I'm often poking around in various other CS fields, like AI development and such.
The nature of sentience and consciousness has always fascinated me, hence my interest in AI and SETI@Home. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run SETI@Home in the hopes of being able to do something of use to help the folks who're out there, hunting for fellow life-forms in the universe. I don't expect to be one of the ones who finds the first signs of life outside of Earth, but I'm content to help speed things up until we get there.
I'm a bit pessimistic and don't expect that SETI@Home will find signs of life out there, but I'm also still hopeful that said pessimism is wrong. I'm glad the project was created, simply because it brought a new idea to the world that's helped shape so many other projects for the better. I somewhat doubt Cryptocoins as we know them today would exist without SETI@Home's shared computing idea; in many ways, it's similar to mining cryptocoins.
One thing I would like to see is the ability to "point" my machines in some specific direction, analyzing data from a specific manually-chosen subset of data. For instance, I'd like to be able to listen in on any samples that could've come from the Wolf 1061 system, which has a planet that may potentially harbor life. |
