Science Blogs: Robots Evolve Deception

[Edwardo Piet]

Well if such A.I. somehow evolved feelings and emotions, and the ability to experience both pain and pleasure... then the question is if they would turn out to be more moral than us perhaps...

Because even if we're assholes, if they can't feel pain then we are the only ones who can suffer, but if they can too and we're more assholes than they (the robots) are, then we probably 'deserve more' anguish than they do perhaps, lol.

But then on the other hand, if they're more capable of being moral because they're like superintelligent robots for example, then we are doing all we are capable of and maybe such super robots should have a bit of sympathy if they're indeed capable of feelings lol.

Hmm... I'm sensing that such a discussion needs its own thread, because this is a bit of a digression perhaps! (Such hypothesising as such lengths).

If artificial intelligence really progressed to that extent, perhaps they might be able to teach humanity a thing or two, don'tcha think...

Yeah maybe we should open a new thread about it haha..

[Edwardo Piet]

They might teach us, or it might become like terminator 2

That kind of simulation sounds amazing. I'd love a software version to tinker with. Change parameters, see what happens. Sorta like if Spore wasn't shitty.

But there were also some good robots in the Terminator.

"Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The terminator wouldn't stop, it would never leave him. It would never hurt him or shout at him or get drunk and hit him or say it was too busy to spend time with him. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers that came over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only thing that measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice." - Sarah Connor, T2: Judgment Day

Nah the best terminator quote (from the original terminator movie) is from Kyle Realise when he loses it with Sarah Connor in the car:

"Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."

Although Reese in police station is cool too:

"Shut up! [looks into the camera] You still don't get it, do you? He'll find her! That's what he does! It's all he does! You can't stop him! He'll wade through you, reach down her throat and tear her fuckin' heart out!"

Mention robots and after a few serious posts everybody goes all terminator.

'I'll be back'

That is the shit, perhaps people could download their conscious onto some form of a data platform as often stated by dear michio kaku.

Transfering our memories, personality and essence of our being into a card sounds amazing. It also sounds like one of the steps we needs to take on the path to living longer and maybe forever one day.
