Google Is Building a Big, Mysterious Radio Transmitter in the Desert >.>

Quote:

Spaceport America, outside Truth or Consequences in the deserts of New Mexico, has been retooling its tenant list in recent years. The facility has one big advantage for the non-rocket crowd. It has lots and lots of fiber optic communications cables just waiting to be used. It seems Google may be making some good use of them, but exactly what they're doing is still under wraps.

I'm thinking skynet :)

For those slow on reading skillz :)

U.S. Military Spending Millions To Make Cyborgs A Reality

The U.S. military is spending millions on an advanced implant that would allow a human brain to communicate directly with computers. If it succeeds, cyborgs will be a reality. The goal of the proposed implant is to "open the channel between the human brain and modern electronics" according to DARPA's program manager, Phillip Alvelda. In January, DARPA announced it plans to spend up to $62 million on the project, which is part of its Neural Engineering System Design program. The implant would be small -- no larger than one cubic centimeter, or roughly the size of two stacked nickels -- according to DARPA. The implantable device aims to convert neurons in the brain into electronic signals and provide unprecedented "data-transfer bandwidth between the human brain and the digital world," according to a DARPA statement announcing the new project. DARPA sees the implant as providing a foundation for new therapies that could help people with deficits in sight or hearing by "feeding digital auditory or visual information into the brain." A spokesman for DARPA told CNN that the program is not intended for military applications.
Ordinarily, such a headline might be considered sensationalist reporting and a batch of sci-fi -- except DARPA is involved. I can remember when internetworking computers was a radical concept until DARPA came up with some serious sci-fi style communications protocols to make it all work. With only $62 million budgeted (so far), we can only hope that it'll be a while before they succeed -- but then again, this is DARPA we're talking about.

Finally, I'll master the shamisen.

Anyway, it really isn't a mystery, just the technical specifics. This will be a regional data relay system, connecting one station to another without needing to run long and expensive fiber optic lines through nowhere. It would be very cost efficient compared to the broadband infrastructure we're using now.

It's speculated that they will use drones (and/or balloons) for networking back down to individuals, but I think that takes special equipment since those drones are waaay up there with a wingspan over 100ft. I mean it could be used for that, likely will too, but with special transmitter-receivers of course, much like ham radio systems (e.g. 2 meter band etc). But not using "2 meter band radio" just an example.

But what they do with it, who knows? Googles own personal internet system etc. Internet-2.0. Likely will connect to existing systems, even that of Skynet :D

Skynet is a confirmed government project, actually exists, run by the NSA. Not like in the movies ...not yet anyway hehe. But in the movies, it's no different than any intrusive spy program and using AI and networks. Doesn't need to be out of control AI to be a very dangerous tool, humans can be just as destructive if not more so (we make AI anyway). Gotta have the infrastructure to do it though, high speed broadband to all corners of the Earth to be truly effective. Then one can achieve global control, be it human or AI, though realistically AI just does what human programmers tell it to do.
