"Talos would just have to do its best to map whatever debris was left into the visualization. Next, she needed a "brain jar." Digging through her crates of salvaged hardware - being a pack rat for old hardware was a prerequisite when one's hobby was building shape-shifting drones - she found a bunch of graphics cards pulled from used gaming PCs. These she plugged into a retired crypto mining rig until the whole assembly looked like matzot stuffed haphazardly in a box."
"This wasn't very powerful hardware, but it was enough to run the ancient embodied language model s-l-o-w-l-y, perfect for her purposes. She imaged the HELM into the jar, spun up the cooling fans until her apartment sounded like the runways at Logan Airport. A quick exchange with Talos to load up the right visualization jinns, and she was ready. Standing in the middle of the floor, she put on her fusion vision glasses"
Julia applies Hutch's visualization method to reanimate an infected, frozen artificial brain. She clears her apartment to serve as a mixed-reality canvas and rigged salvaged graphics cards into a retired crypto-mining rig to form a 'brain jar.' She runs an ancient embodied language model slowly into the jar and loads visualization jinns via Talos. She dons fusion vision glasses and bone-conduction speakers, activates the system, and the apartment fades into a dark void as the visualization begins. The setup emphasizes hands-on, embodied cognition, improvised hardware, and spatial visualization to map and revive the neuromesh.
