Shi Tiexin understood Old Six's meaning at once, and thought of many, many things.
"This idea is too crazy!"
"Granted, stable and efficient thought energy can serve as the medium for running programs, but the Artificial Intelligence operating under those conditions would reach directly into our sea of mind arts, close to the very roots of our mind arts."
