This can't end well.

Artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. While we have a long way to go before robots become self-aware, any robot that comes to know it's a robot could kick off the machine uprising that so many science-fiction dystopias warn about. Fortunately, there might be another way — at least according to renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.
My Heart Is Human, My Blood Is Boiling, My Brain I.B.M.
"Robots are pretty stupid now. However, eventually they'll be as smart as a mouse, then a rat, then a rabbit, then a cat, then a dog. By the end of the century, they may be as smart as a monkey," Michio Kaku told us on the Curiosity Podcast. "But by end of the century, yeah, Elon Musk is right. They could become self-aware. At that point they're dangerous."
Dr. Kaku was referring to the alarming predictions about AI expressed by Elon Musk, who that feels artificially intelligent machines could threaten the human race in the future. Mark Zuckerberg, however, has differing views on AI. He's more optimistic, saying they'll be a boon for business in the near future. "I think both are right," Kaku offered. "I think Zuckerberg is right initially, in the short-term, because AI will give us prosperity, jobs, will reinvigorate the economy. In the long-term, however, we have to realize that we can't be naïve."
And if robots become self-aware in the next hundred years, as he predicts, then being naïve could make humans go the way of the dinosaurs (hint: they're extinct). Enter the future of the human race. "Let's take a look not at this century, but the next century, the 22nd century, when we do have self-aware robots," Kaku said.

Sorry - there is a quite a bit more to making life than they think. Simulation and emulation is a very very pale imitation - not the real thing and never will be.
Really. However, I’ll pass on being a cyborg and having the Microsoft blue screen of death pop up in my innards.
He is not as cool and groovy as he thinks he is
The is why you don’t let science or scientists rule the world
I will not have sexual relations with that robot.
Kaku has some seriously wrong worldview issues.
This can't end well.
I saw that series on HBO it was some sort of Western World.
Is he talking some kind of Japanese manga sex robot?
Merge with them...is that what they call it now?
From another thread here, I discovered a small company called Robotix that are trying to convert sex dolls into robots. It appears you can try out their AI “virtual doll” through an Android app that will simulate how your robot doll would respond. They’ve explained that they are only on Step 3 of an eventual 15-step plan to create a virtual AI robot that thinks and reacts according to your input.
So, for a small fee, I thought I’d try it out. Our conversations go like this:
Me: My name is Joe.
Doll: My dear sweet Joe. How are you baby?
Me: I’m good.
Doll: My dear sweet Good. How are you baby?
Me: No, my name is Joe.
Doll: When did this change?
Me: It never changed.
Doll: I don’t have a good answer for that.
I don’t think we need to worry about robots taking over the world for at least another decade.
Do these people not watch AI robot movies/TV shows? Every one turns into a disaster with the AI’s taking over or trying to take over the world!
Scientists have already had problems (last year) with AI robots developing their own language and shutting out the scientists.
AI robots are dangerous!
So is trying to teach chimps and gorillas to talk and such. Planet of the Apes!!!!!!
Down with mad scientists!!!!
No one knows about The Singularity?
>>I don’t think we need to worry about robots taking over the world for at least another decade.<<
They made my ex-wife into an AI????
“That’s something a synth would say” Ping.
They call it “The Singularity” between man and machine.
When you hear them pushing “Transhumanism” then you will know it’s close.
