As one with whom I have had considerable discussions on related subjects, could I ask you to read the Time article linked below and give me your thoughts on some of the boggling concepts contained therein?
I read it yesterday and cannot stop thinking about the ramifications of what is being developed and which will come to fruition probably just after I die of old age.
I guess the immortality possibility is one thing but perhaps the thought of an intelligence that we (some of us) can now only think of in the sense of an omniscient God. </div></div>
to me, it seems we are trying to develop machines that would be more human in a sense- in the sense that we want them to 'think' for themselves...a very difficult thing to do;
in my mind this only strengthens the case that our design is by definition intelligent
