(March 1, 2009 at 9:44 pm)EvidenceVsFaith Wrote: Ephrium took that quote of mine kind of out of context. I think that if its possible for robots to EVER get more complex than us 'somehow' then it would have to be in the very far future where robots and computers may have somehow developed enough to 'improve themselves', invent things, think intelligently - like we do - etc, and perhaps surpass us somehow that way.

I agree ... even now (as far as I know) complex computer processors are made not by humans but by computers powering machines and though humans (I am sure) have a significant hand in the design process I doubt any one person actually understands every aspect of the latest CPU design. So yeah, I have few doubts complex robots approaching or even surpassing organic complexity will one day be built but I'd put money on them being built by others robots and not humans.

Talking about robots and humans generally I wonder if robots not only will be our nemesis (what's the plural of nemesis?) but actually that it is inevitable that they will do ... I imagine an extremely well designed highly advanced robot would be superior to a human in virtually every way.

I wrote a skit on that once ... I'll see if I can find it.
