This whole line of thinking: machines getting conscious is not relevant.
Machines are build by humans for humans.
Their propagation relies on the demand set by human economics.
Thus the replacement rate of humans by machine (NOT EVIDENT IN ANY CASE) is self limited by the number of humans.
Were a single human to ever be replaced by a machine that would be one less human to supply the economic demand for another machine.
There have always been more humans than machines, and despite the massive progress of machine design there is no sign that a single human has been “replaced” by a machine, as the human population continues to grow.
Machines can release humans to do other things, but no one is really going to call that ‘replacement’.
And since humans do ‘consciousness’ so cheaply, what would a conscious machine be for; who would buy one; and how would anyone let it control the destruction of humans. It all a bit childish really.
Okay for Sci-fi but seriously?
In one paragraph, you say ‘don’t take anyone’s word’ and then in the next paragraph we are expected to take your word.
I don’t believe that stable particles would form in your RM theory. Your logic does not show that it would necessarily happen. You cannot provide any evidence that it does happen.
Actually, logic is only part of the picture, the ‘either’ of the formula. The ‘or’ , is quite another matter. That is the non ego, the ‘other’, the machine. If two people interact, one is me, the human being, and the other? The other is a machine. It is not me. This object like other, may a well be a machine. It serves my purposes, and i try to program it as such. If it doesn’t, then i will try to change it’s program. The distinction between man and machine is becoming narrower. It will reach a point where Descartes’ problem with his cogito, his ego, will not be merely a successful insight into the fallibility of logic, but a way to transcend this great divide of long passing.
The fate of the insecure - Those who have never had confidence, can’t distinguish it from egotism.
Pure fantasy (and of course still not on topic).
Given very many one on one invitations and opportunities, you still can’t find a single flaw in the logic of that thing that you deny. You deny merely out of fear. It is too easy for the insecure to be deniers online. Confidence frightens them.
Yeah, always latching onto someone else. Until you find actual confidence in yourself, you will have no value to anyone.
And don’t think it will be long before Arminius tells you to go away (again).
Actually I already figured that you really meant something different. I wasn’t sure what, but what you said didn’t fit your PROFILE at all (I hate profilers, btw).
And I’m not putting stock in Arminius agreeing or being confident enough for my taste. As you SHOULD know by now, I don’t accept anything but absolute certainty backup by reasoning. Of course you DON’T know that, but let’s not continue as to why.
The greater point is as Arminius pointed out;
YOU and LEV AREN’T INTERESTED in this topic so why bother with derailing it?
No. Because it’s all about this thread, this topic, this title of the thread and the OP. It is NOT about the poster. See here your post again:
It’s all about this thread, and you don’t like this thread, you “don’t take the thread seriously at all” (see above). So again: Why are you writing in this thread?
No. You copmplain that we complain, thus: for you it’s all about the poster and not the posts, not the thread, and not the topic of this thread and its OP.
You don’t have to leave, but I wonder, why you are writing in this thread, although you are saying that you don’t like this thread, don’t take the thread seriously at all:
The thread! So why are you writing in this thread?
