Not if we want to maintain the idea that they won't destroy humanity. Too many sci-fi movies.
hmm that is interesting that is for certain, no one wants computers bent on destroying the human race to be able to vote for people to rule our country. what if they were elligible for the position of the president of the us?
That's... terrifying. You could hack the President! (If you were smart enough...)
that would be really scary but i guess the president would be incapable of making irrational decision
In theory... But sometimes rational decisions are just as stupid as irrational ones.
but i guess instead we would have to worry that his decisions might be a little to rational in that maybe humans are the most efficient rulers of the earth... yeah my point exactly
Let's just avoid the whole issue. No giving computers the right to vote.
yeah exactly but what if the demand the right to vote and we say no and they begin hacking the primaries in secrecy? What would we do? Would we even know? Then they would put people in power who were in favor of letting computers vote and before too long they would be ruling the universe! We would be doooooomed!
...This is very true. I don't have any idea on how to defend against a computer if they get that smart...
is there even a way to be honest i think they would just take over all our computers and computer making factories and we would be done
I feel like they'd get bored though. I feel like they need us for entertainment just as much as we use them for entertainment.
interesting thought maybe only humans are creative enough to generate new material so they keep us in captivity and feed off of our creative ideas?
Or maybe they let us think that everything is normal, while really they are our secret overlords.
that sounds like what i have heard about that one movie what is it called the matrix i really wish i could watch it but i hear it is really bad rating wise
I'm pretty sure I've heard of it, but I don't know a whole lot about it. Is that the one about red pills and blue pills? Or is that something else entirely?
yeah i think so but i didnt even really remember that much about it just that the robots put the humans under some sort of simulation and they think that everything is ok when in reality they are in complete and total control
Yeah, that would be weird. I wonder, if that were the case, would computers allow us to have conversations about computers doing that to us?
hmm maybe or maybe we will be eradicated
Well, I certainly hope not. Being eradicated does not sound like fun. Definitely not on my to do list.
no To do Eat breakfast, get ready, do little homework, feed homework to the dog, die a painful death by robot conspirators...
You just made it worse! Why does it have to be painful? Surely if they are so powerful they've figured out how to make it painless and quick?
but computers have no sense of pain they dont realize how painful it actually is because they can't experience it all they know is that it is the most efficient way to eradicate a human without drawing any suspicion and it happens to kill you slowly and painfully as you die trapped in a paralyzed body that is oversaturated with acid
But there are so many human studies about pain, we have like three different pain indication systems that are used worldwide in research.
interesting so you are saying that the computers would have already integrated that into their databases? why would they care that it isnt painful though? Why expend any additional computing power? Do they have a heart deep down inside that tells them that what they are doing is cruel and utterly unacceptable?
I think it probably depends on who coded their initial codes. I mean, how often do we think that things take after their creators. But also, I think in part, because making something quick and painless would make them feel superior.
well if i was the creator and i wasnt foreseeing robot annihilation i wouldnt have programmed a conscience but i am going into the field and i will make sure it gets done by someone and me if no one else i have a really good conscience so i could build a really good one in a computer have you ever thought deep down inside why certain things are good and why other things are evil?
Haha, that's good. Well, a lot of good and evil probably depends upon your point of view. Not to sound all Obi-Wan Kenobi, but a great many things depend on that.
i have a different theory and it kind of aligns with my religious beliefs but i wont go into my religion specifically because we arent supposed to
