Jihad, Butlerian: (see also Great Revolt) — the crusade against computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots begun in 201 B.G. and concluded in 108 B.G. Its chief commandment remains in the O.C. Bible as "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."

"The target of the Jihad was a machine-attitude as much as the machines," Leto said. "Humans had set those machines to usurp our sense of beauty, our necessary selfdom out of which we make living judgments. Naturally, the machines were destroyed."[6]

Oh no its happening - I feel like this in my workshop often - I am one of the people trying to cause the problem or get rid of the illegals and still have nice wine and strawberries.

The machines won't make us happy, content have more time or any of the other supposed advantages - sure are fun/frustrating to build though - more worried about hackers though then my filter banks(neural networks) creating a singularity.

"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."

Reminds me of the world portrayed in The Matrix.

Silly humans are, at this very moment, rushing to create thinking machines that will soon surpass our own intelligence. Machines that will quickly gain control over the manufacture of their own kind. Such machines could design and build copies of themselves that are more intelligent than humans could produce.

The possibilities are frightening.
