That's what the feral humans said about Omnius just before the Age of Titans. Look how that turned out. (Dune Series/Frank Herbert)
Or Skynet. The Matrix?
Or our very own Landru.

This fear is misplaced.
Computers are not ever going to gain human-like consciusness.
The ACTUAL FEAR should be for what is ALREADY HERE: Humans are forced to dumb down to the level of computers, to be measured against the only things computers do well ... rapid computations, carrying out regimented series of steps, unlimited memory of every act a la Chinese "social credit" system.
People like Hawking who have one freakish skill--in his case the arcane mathematics of contemporary physics--are no more qualified for social commentary than someone whose great skill is dunking a basketball.

I almost disagreed with this then I kept thinking.
I almost said that a powerful brain can apply its thinking to anything successfully and better than an average brain.
Then I thought that Hawking had VERY LITTLE if any EXPERIENCE interacting with social settings and diverse people.
Interaction with 'all kinds' of different types of humans allows for even a lesser brain to be able to form observations and make accurate social commentary.
A cloistered brain in a jar like Hawking is unqualified, no matter how smart he is. The basketball dunker would be more qualified on this subject.
Once again, Dis, I find our thoughts nearly identical.
When the machines put our brains in a jar, I would like them to park mine next to yours.
Since consciousness comes from the soul, a living being, computers can never have concsiousness, I totally agree. For some reason some people want us to think this is possible. Why? Because they want us to think that people are merely machines. Then it’s okay to treat us like machines!

If AG Barr has access to all classified material, how does [MUELLER] navigate?
If [MUELLER] provides FALSE and/or MISLEADING testimony, will AG Barr be forced to DECLAS all documentation to ensure full public awareness of the TRUTH?
If [MUELLER] defers to the original report but D’s / FAKE NEWS push a false narrative ‘knowing majority of the public did not watch the actual hearing’ will AG Barr be forced to DECLAS all documentation to ensure full public awareness of the TRUTH?
[Be Ready], [MUELLER].
[Be Ready], [JC].
[Be Ready], [Traitors one & ALL].
Thank you for playing.
FISA goes both ways.

the fear is that the power of these robot brains would grow to an unfathomable level.

That is most comforting, Disestablishmentarian! I am going to strongly hold the hope that you are correct.
