Will machines completely replace all human beings?

Hello, new one!

Please give your answer to the question of the topic of this thread: Will machines completely replace all human beings?

[list][list][list][list][list][list][list]size=120 YES, (B) NO, (C) ABSTENTION.[/size][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
I will have to compile the 4th interim or even last (cp. Obe’s warning) balance sheet soon.

For comarison:
1st balance sheet,
2nd balance sheet,
3rd balance sheet.

How much percent of the gross national product ends up as income after taxes and social transfers?

|__ Examples | Finland | Germany |__ USA _| Brazil | World __|
|
Richest 20% | about 35% | about 40% _| about 47% | about 65% _| about 85% |
|
Rest (80%) _| about 65% | about 60% _| about 53% | about 35% _| about 15% _|

The trend is the “Brazilization of the World”, and the machines contribute much.

And when the “Brazilization of the World” will be reached, the next trend will be 80/20 (80% to the richest 20% and 20% to the rest, thus 80%).

Guess what the goal is.

And the machines contribute much.

A plus for the ‘a’ column, of yesses. According to a prestigious British Journal of armaments, every country in the world will possess ARMED drones, within 10 years. They want them, because it can do the same job as an aircraft carrier based fighter jet can without the cost and the expandability of the fighter pilot. A good bet is that a very expensive anti-drone technology is in the works.

40% of the aircraft involved in USA Middle East conflicts are drones.

Yes - unfortunately or fortunately.

Every country? Every?

Tendency: 100% of the aircraft purely mechanical.

This tendency will eventually make most armies obsolete.

Yep. or maybe 99%, why not?
…unless people become even cheaper to throw into dangerous situations. Why risk wasting a good drone when you have people to use instead?

If there is less risk, then there is also less risk for wars, so that the number of wars rises. And you know: the victims of wars are human beings - as always.

a necessary act, due to the aggressive nature of man, the need for protection of life and property. Drones do not use human pilots, therefore, less loss of life.

what side are you on?-just kidding of course

Eternal war yields authority to an eternal dictator (which is why the USA is always in a war).

Somebody always, has to take up the slack. That’s the nature of the beast.

Therefore, more loss of live because more and more drones will be used and more frequently used, so more and more human beings will be killed by more and more drones, more frequently, and by more wars as consequences of that killing by drones.

Therefore, more loss of live because more and more drones will be used and more frequently used, so more and more human beings will be killed by more and more drones, more frequently, and by more wars as consequences of that killing by drones.[/quote

 Not necessarily. Increased use of advanced technology in military application utilizes more accurate staging and targeting, whereby loss of life can be minimized, by taking out strategically important material.  Just as the title of the OP indicates, actual soldiers will be replaced by robotics.  Here is an area where machines bode well! Command will be retained ultimately by human beings, although subsidiary systems are being increasingly computerized.

Star Trek had an episode concerning this issue (in the 1960’s). Two planets were at eternal war because it was all done by remote computation (not even needing physical drones). The computer would then tell each party how many people would have been killed. So as to not destroy the physical cities (the booty), each agreed to merely kill the number of their own people predicted by the computer.

Because there was no harm to the physical city, the war continued eternally. And that really is what is going on in your world right now. So as to advance technology (the only sacred survivor), nations murder an agreed upon number of their own people (except of course, for the socialist leaders ensuring the practice). Thus in the long run, the only sacred entity survives; Machines, Androids ensuring that the practice is carried out to its completion.

[size=114]As I said:

More drones, more loss of live because more and more drones will be used and more frequently used, so more and more human beings will be killed by more and more drones, more frequently, and by more wars as consequences of that killing by drones.[/size]

Yes,… until there are no more humans to kill.

The “last man standing” is an android.

Do you say with absolute certainty that all human beings will be replaced by machines?

Nope. Not me… just a high probability.

I propose than, James, that You switch over to the irresolute category. I am a firm believer in that even small probabilities can change the course of events. Against all odds, machines may be checked, from their march toward world human domination!
