Will machines completely replace all human beings?

Let nature consume them.

In more ways than just one. :wink: :-"

Consume whom?

Ierellus, do you really not know what Kriswest means?

Yes, our resident faithful believer is that mentally dense. If you were to ask me I’d say it was the prescribed medication. :wink: :-"

Too many people get injured playing football and basketball. When need to automate the game with android teams.
:-k

:-"

Where are all the posts of the “revolting” ( :astonished: ) functionaries of the current dictatorship now? Kriswest’s sentence is not politically correct. But who cares? No one because Kriswest is a female. So her sentence is politically correct. But if a male had said that, he would have been mauled by the functionaries of the current dictatorship. That’s remarkable, isn’t it? :exclamation:

I guess I didn’t understand her. Will nature “consume” biology or its artifacts–technology?

Why did you then ask: " by whom?", Ierellus?

Whom? That’s personal!

Again:

Laughing Man asked, and Kriswest answered:

Laughing Man’s question (“Where are we going to put them all?”) is clearly, definitely, explicitly, doubtlessly answered by Kriswest (“Let nature consume them”).

I have Joker on ignore.

Aha, …, but now your question is answered.

LaughingMan warned for abusive posting. Second warning, one day ban.

Yes, okay, but the cause does not have to be a global peak oil or other sources of energy.

If capitalism can outsource low-paid jobs, why can’t it replace the middle classes with automatons?”[/size]

“Welcome to the future: a robot working in an office.” - The Observer, Sunday 27 April 2014.

“Working in an office”? Will that be necessary at all?

Probably no!

Exactly what I saw coming in the 1980’s and thus stopped making machines smarter.

But the serious bad of it all, is that homosapian, even machines, are not smart enough to understand how to fix it.

James,not necessarily. Humans will be forced to become smarter, and far before that tipping point, they MAY re-organize society so that work will be found, at lest for basic subsistence within a changing social order. Communes will be necessary, to supplement the unemployed members of family , and other units, so that everyone will be occupied. This will be necessary, to avoid a total collapse of the societal order, world wide.

Yeah and perhaps dogs and cats will be forced to become smarter and form unions and earn the right to vote. Just wait until the viruses learn how to read and right… you’ll be really sorry then.

 Even dogs and cats can be thought basic behavior, given enough time and care.  No dog or cat is expected to do integral calculus, granted.  However a behaviorally staged learning program can go a very long way, especially with improved and extended sources of knowledge propagated by the parabolic change of rate of information data availability.

The issue and problem is one of timing. If it takes too long for one species to develop while another species is more advanced toward domination, the lesser species is in danger of extinction. Homosapian is not developing much at all, if at all. And seemingly descending rather than ascending, while robotics are advancing way, way faster and far, far beyond homosapian capability.

Homosapian was SO stupidly in love with power, that he has already created his own superior and is now declining while willingly devoting his last efforts to ensuring that his superior survives him.

Homosapian is a caterpillar to an Iron Butterfly.

Convincing yes, much so, however until the element of control, power are inflexed at a critical point, i stick to my non-committed column, because even the top designers have everything to loose if the bottom marginal, and totally dis-associated members are left out of the equation.Chaos is foreshadowed, yes, but compensating elements have to be introduced, to avoid systemic failure. I have little doubt about that.
