I hate this time period. It has a complete lack of things to do.
Not at all. There are more things to do than you can shake a stick at. For instance, you can shake a stick at things. More relatedly, we know more about the surface of the moon than we do the deep sea. It you want to, "Go where no man has gone before," then you have only to look so far as the ocean.
It's always been a sad world and it always will be. The sooner you realize/admit that, the better off you are.
You know what, nevermind.
I'd rather be a dumb caveman that doesn't realise what death is.
This can be easily arranged.
was i the only one who thought about agent smith from the matrix when i first read that XD (the first part, of the first post)
I didn't, but I totally should have. xD "The first Matrix was a utopia... It was rejected... We put them at the peak of their civilization."
we have to deal with the fact that mankind is the single greatest threat to life on this planet (including our own). We have atomic bombs, but must never forget the devastation and suffering they may cause.
That we haven't, speaks to our reliability.
I honestly can't see the great pleasure in living past 40, at least not past 60 - being some old guy doing nothing but nagging my children to help me do this and that.
You know you can be old and healthy at the same time? The reason people aren't is because they are sissies. Are you going to let your body waste away or are you going to take care of it?
If they don't feel anything why do they even care to ask those questions. If the Greek philosophers didn't feel anything they wouldn't get any pleasure by asking questions and trying to find answers to things, which basically is why people who have been lobotomized just sit on their assess with an empty look. Unless the robots have programmed specific orders into them when something happens (i.e not a true conscious AI) then they would also not do anything unless they got some kind of feelings.
Bingo. This is the biggest thing people forget about AI. It has no motive whatsoever.
would they be happy to understand that we use them as slaves? No, i doubt it. But of cause, peace can be declared, but would they forgive us? Don't they want their freedom?
Why would they care they are slaves? What's to forgive? Why do they want freedom? To do what?
A computer, as an information storage unit, can then last forever, because it only truly depends on its stored information (especially in the case of an AI program), which can be backed up indefinitely.
Why would an AI make backups of itself/its memories?
Again:

Again.
And again.
Biological organisms have
evolved the neurons that tell them to eat, sleep, mate, fight or flight, everything. They don't do stuff for no reason, they do it because they are the ones that had will to make more of themselves. Until we make an AI that makes other AIs that aren't exact copies, until there is some creation and selective process, AIs will be blank of any motivation to do anything, other than what we program into them.
