RE: Ray Kurzweil on the Singularity and the birth of Intelligent AI
I was thinking about perfect artificial beings and i've come to a conclusion that ideal artificial life might be biological. Look at humans we replicate ourselves, we can feed ourselves with self replicated food, we can survive a huge cataclysm and have already did it in the past. Robots won't survive electrical collapse, they won't even survive a strong solar storm. But what is really frightening me is the advance in bioprocessors, nanotechnology and neurobiology. Some day scientists will be able to implant a bioprocessor in you and you won't even notice it. The more we know how to program and to reprogram the brain the more threats arise. It's the pandora box we shouldn't open.
The so called 'Pandora's box' has already been opened - You can not stop the future from evolving - This evolution, if you are a believer in anything has a preordained goal - What it is I can'[t say for sure - And yet evolution continues - If the consciousness that backs all existence says biological life is inefficient - it will replace biological life with a new more efficient operating system - You and I my friend may be at the end of biological evolution - Welcome to the the New Dawn of machine consciousness .
Consciousness and simulation is the different things. Efficient? What are the criterias of efficiency? Faster calculations means better consciousness? Nah. And don't you know that biorobots are the best form of life? Biorobot don't give a fuck about sun bursts and don't give a fuck about power shortages. He can consume a big variety of energy sources and can resist EMP. Metal silicon-based machines is a failing dream of previous millenium.
