The ironic outcome could be that finally humanity will have a common enemy that unites us in a way that being at the top of the food chain didn’t. Some of the violent arrogance towards each other would disappear.
Let’s face it, no father wants to die before he can witness his daughter’s wedding. But it happens.
There is no universal requirement for humanity to live on, or colonize space. In terms of universal energy, nothing is lost.
People believe a machine take over is inevitable. That belief wills itself. Nobody took the book 1984 as a warning. They took it as prophecy. Progressing faster in order to make it happen. Simply because we can. And because, in the image of God, we create. And because those who don’t believe in the afterlife, to use a Uni-bomber expression, “cool-headed” logicians want to take the place of a God.
Legacy. Children. And just who will tell our story? It amounts to the same thing.
Maybe God wants an equal, a mate. And maybe we will give him the AI version of one.
Soon it will be possible to carry the zygote, the embryo, and the fetus in an extrauterine way. Then we will have totally arrived at the point of the more insecure, the more primitve reproduction again. We will no longer need any intrauterine thing then.
The natural womb as the realization of the the natural idea to lay the egg into the inside of the body will have become obsolete. There will be no natural birth any longer, since the natural uterus will not be needed any longer. Humans will not be needed any longer - their natural reproduction will be replaced by genetic engineering and artificial “wombs”, their economical production will be replaced by machines and perhaps by artificial humans (cyborgs) … So humans will either become artificial humans or die out.
Philosophically said, the Marxistic communism, which is based on Hegel’s dialectic, says that the capitalism is the thesis, the dictatorship of the proletariat is the antithesis, and classless equality and equal happiness for all is the synthesis. But if is right that history is class struggle (war), then it is not - or at least only without history - possible to get a classless equality and equal happiness for all. Okay, Hegel already claimed the end of history, also Marx who was a Left-Hegelian, and many others (mostly Hegelians, some Nietzscheans, some others). So, as long as there is history there is no classless equality and equal happiness for all, so that the classes, the inequality, thus the class struggle (war) remain.
I see future feminists and lesbians all across the planet cheering when reproduction no longer requires a male. When all of this takes precedence Arminius watch also all the different social or political movements going on.
There is only one way to achieve that with a large number of people. And neither Hegel nor Marx knew anything of it. Perhaps the androids will do a better job with each other.
What does it take to cause an android to be happy?
… a lot more than you think.
It has been theorized that artificial intelligence concerning androids would have one huge group collective consciousness. Star Trek with the Borg illustrated this possibility real well I think.
That’s what separates humans from A.I. I think. We do not think, act, or behave under one hive mind of collective consciousness.
Yes. But females are also no longer required for the reproduction then. It will become more factual / practical than it is today (technically it is already possible).
That is a huge problem, yes. Therefore my suggestion in my last post: The machines have to become more hominid, thus android, and the humans have to become more mechanical, thus cyborgical. An even then, we will not know whether it will be successful or not.
this is pure predictive and evil programming. humans are so brainwashed with darwinism that they don’t even realize that they are being led to the slaughter house. I trust that the black military budget (gobbling up trillions of taxpayers’ money) is close to achieving UFOs that can take cyborgs and extreme AI away. And we should encourage that. Thats the only peaceful solution possible. cyborgs and AI are not suited for our realm. If they stay, they would only parasite our 3d reality and destroy it completely as a result. They keep masses amused with the advanced IT gadgets but thats a distraction because in this dire economic picture humans have become useless eaters.
the main problem that I see everywhere (and it is scary) is that most people project the future using the same cavemen-like premises that are leading us toward the precipice instead of recognizing that all current premises must be abandoned completely, that they do not serve any purpose anymore. The end of the paradigm will end with BANG if people do not wake up.
I recommend richard duncan, UK prominent transhumanist and speaking of the transhumanist agenda that regards us as cattle, at the bases conference, and warning us that only 10-15% of population will be welcome in the club. Agenda 21 is here…
