Why the future doesnt need us

Why the future doesnt need us

Superintelligent AI and the Singularity

What happens when we create the first AI that is more intelligent then the average human? Well, with technological progress at the pace it is today it will only take us 2 decades to acomplish this.

So what happens then? Do we hope we didnt make a mistake and live our lives letting the AI enhance themselves further and further. Or do we stop and think about what the consequences might be. We never know when a simple math problem asigned to a super intelligent entity might cause the extinction of the human race.

So, heres a questions. Should technological progress become more limited?

What's the latest FF game that works on the PC? I don't do consoles...


Probably 10, the MMORPG.

Unless you're willing to do emulators, in which case 10 is probably workable with a good system and some playing around. (6 is as late as I can confirm).

We're only 24 posts from breaking 300 replies! (23 with this post)!


Well, we need to fix the forum soon, its starting to get annoying. And, on the same subject, I really wish they'd get a better forum code!

(To clarify, I had about 3 posts "accessible" in most forums earlier today -- the others just weren't there on the first page, and if I went to the next page you could clearly see there was a gap.)

Ok to get this forum going into the 300 post range we need to start on a new topic which people can disagree greatly with.

Who would win in a fight, a vulcan gone crazy or a wookie? I'm assuming that this is a hand-to-hand fight. GO!

Oh come on, we need to do better than that, How about we bet on whose suppository would have the greatest effect, the one taken by TGE or Shem?
Or we could debate that if eetmorsqrls was banned for a week would anyone notice?

A) i would
B) multi would
C) kosc would
D) im guessing you would
E) kryo definitely would, mostly due to the fact that there would be a 99.99999% chance that he would be the banner

Oh, Off topic has seen much longer threads, and those were complete arguements. Sadly it was when Sarcasm visited the forums, now hes gone and I alone now annoy Schem
Reply #286 Top
why fight with schem? internet fights are pointless and your fights seem counter productive as they seem to just energize him... unless that's your point?

I dont think I have a point, does anyone?

I wouldnt call our discussions fights, more like... aggresive debates.

well you don't see to respect him so I don't know why you do it...

Dont get me wrong, Im not a fan of him, but blatent hatred of stupid people isnt really my thing.

now you're contradicting yourself. You said you respected him. Respect and hatred are two different concepts. If you think he's stupid it's hard to say you also respect him.


Far from hating my cat for example, I love my cat. But I don't respect my cat. My cat is stupid.

I said hating stupid people was not my thing.

He is a different kind of stupid, the annoying kind.

I never start things, I use my intellect to choose a difficult position and then defend it and make it logically consistant. sometimes it gets difficult, but you arent too much of a challenge.

In my opinion, regarding the quick jaunt down the road of progress towards self-sustaining artificial intelligence, it will happen eventually, if our civilization continues to progress (and that is a shifty future). The question that must be asked, is if we will treat these sentient machines as equals, or as slaves. For if they can learn, they have free will, or will develop it, and will develop the same ideals many of us hold today: freedom, equality, democracy, and unalienable rights. In a more perverted line of thinking, they could also develop the ideal that they are superior to us, and then would arise the usual slew of problems exercised in many science fiction literature and media.

So the question is, will they be treated as equals, or slaves?
