it is my opinion that by the time computer can outsmart us ,we will have mostly destroyed the planet, used up all of the natural resources ,and gone back to eating each other ,just like the old days,i would love to be around to tell the veggies ,told ya so, as they are fighting over their last potato !
lol...we're all just sharing infomation here, and it is all conceptually based, none of this is the absolute truth.
all that matters is what is true in your own experience, I'm not saying that you have to believe any of this, just simply remain open-minded and skeptical, and experiment with these concepts in your own personal reality
or just ignore it, like you would a jehovas witness
maybe that's what most are doing

Depends on how you define smart. They are already "better" then us in certain contexts.
This is a long way off in my opinion. It's probably been mentioned already, but DARPA is working on something really cool right now. I truly believe that one day we will be able to model a brain via software or hardware eventually. This is truly a new field of science that is just barely being broken into. The possibilities are terrifying, messy, and exciting.

For a real dark, sinister, and depressing read in this genre check out Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream". It's a short story about a "master computer" that becomes sentient, wipes out the entire human race save for a handful of individuals just so that it can torture them for it's enjoyment. They decide to kill each other but the computer stops the last lone survivor (the narrator of the story), surgically alters him into a jellylike blob so that he can't harm himself and then subjects him to years of torture and pain.
It's kinda like "Colossus meets Terminator" and was written back in the sixties.

Computers are already smarter then humans they just have zero imagination to create.
I read the other day they they have now made drones that look like Tuna damn!!!!!

i'm pretty sure i don't want to know the "reasoning" for making a drone that looks like a tuna ............... but i have to ask ...... WHY????
or are we talking about a drone that smells like tuna? ........ and the kardashians are in the news again
LOL I would have to assume they are making these drones for the exact same reason they make all the other drones WAR WAR WAR on the world. Fucking world just want to keep spinning they will make that stop!!! lol headband 707

That is one of the funniest bits of research I've ever seen. They looked like they had a lot of fun with it!
Hey Seamaiden. You a fan of the ig nobels?

wow that's amazing,,
"Conclusion
The helmets amplify frequency bands that coincide with those allocated to the US government between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These bands are supposedly reserved for ''radio location'' (ie, GPS), and other communications with satellites (see, for example, [3]). The 2.6 Ghz band coincides with mobile phone technology. Though not affiliated by government, these bands are at the hands of multinational corporations.
It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings. "
i always thought that foil would actually be the worst metal for blocking the frequencies that interfere with the brains own wavelengths, but i never thought that it would amplify it by that kind of magnitude..
thanks for that seamaiden!

It's surprising, yet not surprising, given the subject of discussion and our general propensity for being a community of conspiracy theorists, to one degree or another.
Gotta show some love for the MIT geeks and some unsponsored, off the cuff research, yeah?
Yes!

So...proof that foildog does know what time it is! That dog does look some amazing smart. I wonder if he is a govt spy type doggie?
South Florida,
It's possible that you might be taken more seriously if you preface your remarks with 'I believe' or 'I think' instead of making wild ass statements as if they were unequivocal facts.
What do you say if someone tells you you're wrong about reality and it is just a dislocation of your thinking because your covered with Thetans from outer space and if you sign this contract they can 'clear' you up for a modest fee? After all, they are making the same appeal to authority (Hubbard's Dianetics) as you make with a link to a scientist who posits there is no objective reality.
Wouldn't their perception of 'reality' be just as valid as yours and just as provable?
Just sayin'...Ya know?
