			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m worried my <a href="http://www.spacetimestories.com" target="_blank">blog</a> is on the verge of achieving sentience.  I&#8217;ve noticed that some of my <a href="http://www.spacetimestories.com/fiction/time-travel-galilee/" target="_blank">time travel stories</a> have achieved a life of their own.  What would it mean for a blog to be self-aware?  Would it take comments personally?  Would it seize control of the entire Internet and retaliate for poor <a href="http://digg.com" target="_blank">digg</a> rankings?  Would it attempt to manipulate the US Presidential election?  Or would it humbly accept its role as an aspiring science fiction blog and generate outstanding content?</p>
<p>My personal preference would be for it to send time travel email 24 hours into the past with the names of 2-3 top performing stocks from each trading day!  Now that would be a useful AI.</p>
