I thought of that but since I had already said that I was done with him… it seems an unlikely explanation.
I asked for the evidence which supports an assertion that he made in this thread. That’s not derailing.
Then he got all presumptuous and defensive and derailed his own thread.
Over to you OP.
Will machines completely replace all human beings?
Action!
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?
???
I think I have hit the nail on the head! Bingo!
And b.t.w.: Thank you very much for advertising my posts. =D>
And IF you are really no egalitarian(istic) exploiter, then please excuse me and help me to stop the egalitarianism!
All equal means all exploited, thus all poor, all stupid, all decadent.
You are “saying”: “This thread no-longer holds any interest for me” (see above). 
Why are you writing in this thread then? Do you know that? 
Freudian greetings.
You have indeed! Please accept my advice when I say you would certainly be more intelligent if you didn’t do it so often!
Now…which is not a response to you in any way but merely an article overlapping with the title of YOUR thread which OTHERS may find interesting.

Which “advice”? Am I threatened? Is the thread threatened?
???
Well done, Tyler.
And merely attacking people is neither intelligent nor human (in a good sense).
Unless, the only other option is to self destruct.
Anybody with a sense of intelligence knows that humanity is doomed and the future is going to be horrific.
The future is a slow motion train wreck and we’re just edging our way always closer to it.
Yet still people obey authority, keep working, and add their labors to a system that so desperately wants to be its architect.
A great way of observing collective insanity at its finest.
The logical thing to do would be to avoid this future thing altogether but the only problem with that is that a majority of human beings are not at all logical.
This thing we call humanity for sure is a pathetic and sad comedy. So, like all comedies all you can do is laugh and cry.
Train wreck … That reminds me of this:
Will we be able to prevent our own train wreck?
If all else fails hopefully the imposed physical limitations of nature will put an end to humanity’s collective madness.
See global peak energy for reference on that.
I think human beings are best subservient living under nature instead of trying to dominate it.
No matter what happens a lot of people are going to die. It’s necessary and unavoidable.
This has been my conclusion also for a lot of years and I’m definitely beyond (make that two beyonds) my prime. But you do it too much honor to call it “a pathetic and sad comedy”. It seems to me more in the nature of a pathetic disgusting farce. If he screws himself out of existence or degenerates completely it cannot even be regarded as a tragedy. Farces don’t end in tragedy and “machines” whether intelligent or not have nothing to do with this. It’s not the machines, its the genes; the LCD genes which allows itself to be whitewashed, brainwashed and ground into total mediocrity by those who are just slightly smarter or more corrupt than they are.
Power equals leverage for anyone who has two IQ points above average; if you’re ten points below you may still end up with a far better pension “for services unrendered” - which is the least collateral damage which blank stupidity may produce - than a lot of guys who scored in the genius range. We can’t even score on a god or some deity who doesn’t end up as some perverse SOB according to scripture…and this is the guy we want to be with forever after we served our time on planet earth?
Come to think of it, that’s the most perfect ending imaginable to this demented comic opera.
We are in total agreement. 
Do you believe in that very much, especially in peak oil?
But then they wouldn’t and couldn’t be the people they want to be. And I don’t think that their rulers will give up that claim. Merley the mass of the human beings would agree to live „under nature instead of trying to dominate it“, if they are wanted to agree, and also because of such an agreementt they will be endangered by replacement. So the really meaning of their „living under nature“ in the future is their disappearance. What remains is the question, whether their rulers will later disappear as well or not.
Is that really „necessary and unavoidable“? Do you not have any hope?
Perhaps think of it this way, “Would an android hire a human?”
Currently people are thinking in terms of androids doing small mundane tasks, “pick up this, move that,…” But it is only natural that such tasks become far more complex, “build a swimming pool in my yard”, “repair my car”, “repave my driveway”.
If an android is tasked to build a house or a swimming pool, it isn’t likely to do all of the labor itself, but rather utilize a team, especially if speed is an issue. So it contracts available subservient droids.
Would it dare trust any part of the labor or design details to a human? Why risk that?
“Repave the highway from Florida to Los Angeles.” Hire humans??? Hell no (federal ordinance).
“Build a building in downtown Chicago.” Hire humans??? Hell no (city ordinance).
The extremely wealthy don’t need an android to do mundane tasks, but rather the greater more sophisticated tasks. Why would they hire humans either?
From the perspective of a management android, humans are merely in the way, and a serious risk.
Xenophobia? James, I thought you were above name calling and was able to understand what my brief post meant. Others have hinted at the same thing–machines cannot be self aware in the human sense of self-awareness. This does not indicate that I see all forms of awareness as human. You are sounding like Lev.
Can machines experience free will?
Thas is a very rational thought, and androids are created because of rational thoughts, so referring to this the creators and designers of androids have the same thoughts.
Humans have no “free will”, but only a relative free will.
Those people who claim that the nachines can’t have self-awareness should be expected to prove, to adduce evidence, at least more than those
people who claim the self awareness of the machines. The former in order to protect people, especially those who claim the latter.
That’s an typical example for Phyllo’s derailing!
He is not interested in this thread, although he is writing more and more in this thread.
Unbelievable!
