“We're already looking at how you might structure a computer that could possibly become conscious. There are quite a lot of us now who believe it's entirely feasible.

F this world...
Hit "reset" please!

Signalling the coming crushing days, so to speak

If that's the future I'd fight to end it.

Even if my life is wasted it's an ideal.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

That's just disgusting.

 

[Anvil]

we'll need some strong people, and smart hackers... time to take down some scientists...

my yogurt can say hello? that sounds pretty sweet

 

[El Diablo Fantastico]

I'd like my yoghurt to scream in terror before I consume it actually, that sounds like fun...

The thought of Playstation 3 being about as poweful as a human brain functionning at 1% capacity is fuckin' scary!

 

[Karmic]

hell yes.


I call dibs on Sniper

I want to breath heavily while holding the explosives trigger.

The thought of Playstation 3 being about as poweful as a human brain functionning at 1% capacity is fuckin' scary!

And at such a cheap price, too!

Think about what the average human uses their brain for, that's scary - no wonder machines will surpass our boozey tv-zoned lardy bastard race

I can't see how it is metaphysically possible to give a machine a human conciousness.

 

[TheDreamingMind]

Yeah I see your point, after all you could equip a machine with self replication and evolution programming and possiblly simulated emotions, but it would still be following basic commands. Since we lack understanding of what exactly consciousness really is it's a bit presumptious to assume we could simply implant this awareness into a machine. If anything it's more likely that a machine will develop more understanding of what consciousness is just by the pure speed of its intellectual evolution (Moore's law or something akin). In that case perhaps the machine itself could eventually create cybernetic life within itself, if it so wished to. That's one idea anyway.

I was about to mention how we only use 4% of our brains er something...it's already 1/4 as smart as we are

Dude, thats a fable that has been passed. If we only used 4% we'd have like a walnut sized brain. Take a psychology class.

I was going to, but it interfered with my AP Music Theory class.


So how much of our brain do we use, oh one who has taken a psychology class?

 

[Dead_Lioness]

wow

Your yogurt will wish you good morning before being eaten

How could we ever live without THAT amazing option?????
and what if I eat my yogurt at night???
huh???
