that link is for people like who don't know much about what they talk about and have no understanding

 

jumping up and but start jumping when they see a headline or a little article

 

linking the article shows you don't know much about it,jst believing other on it.if you understood it then you be abvle to explain how your story is true but you can't .

 

eanyways fuckoff ik don't have more time to waste on to you otherwise i will also become stupid


I used that link because you wouldn't believe me, not because of lack of understanding. If even a professor can't convince you then you must be the definition of stubborn itself.

i think the thought that machines could ever become sentient scares him



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

The Earth is more important than humans considering we wouldn't exist without it.

Correction. All energy comes from the sun. Therefore without the sun, and Earth's strategic position and distance to it, life would not be possible.

 

That would be like a Martian thanking Planet Mars for their life if you catch my sarcasm.

Well the "Martians" aka bacteria that live in the ice caps don't need the Sun to survive.

Well... To be fair it freaks me out too xD

 

Kind of amazing though how robots would be able to have rights and obligations and such once/if they'd get a self awareness implemented. Both humans and robots are nothing but compound material, after all.

Too bad they are fossil remnants now.  I'm sure the bacteria are thanking Mars for that xD

you can't create a computer twice.

I don't know what's going on in the rest of this thread, but man. Quantum computing. Look it up. It deviates from the classical Turing model quite significantly.

for a computer to be free thinker.

 

it need to feel and perceive the different emotions out there.

if we create a cyborg.it will not feel these emotions freely but by the limit set by humans.

 

Also evolution is very necessary for a species,a computer just cannot do that.For example look at Mongolian people,they are very spiritual compared to caucasian which are more concentrated on material compared to negroids who are more free in nature

this has come by natural process,we cannot replicate it as we cannot even think what next evolutionary steps may bring

Depends in what form. I mean, humans contain a lot of carbon. If you sell that carbon in its raw state, then a few pennies; but if you place the carbon under immense pressure with a seed then you can sell it as a diamond for a few thousand pounds.

Am I being too literal here?
