So does that mean we’ll have a Brassard ramjet soon?
Sorry
There are three possibilities...when the machines surpass our intelligence (at which time checking their work becomes problematical) they will:
Like us...and the world is our oyster.
Not care...and they really won’t do that much for or against us.
Dislike us...Skynet goes online.
MIRI wants the first option to happen.
Since they have the potential to evolve at electrical speeds rather than chemical ones, when they start self evolving, our illusion of control won’t last long for options 2 or 3.
But it is less and less fiction as time goes on.

To ponder if man will someday be enslaved by its own laboratory curiosities begs the question whether God knew that his creation would someday turn against him?
I’d be much more concerned about AI just crashing like your computer can crash, than I would be about Terminator skynet stuff. That’s just a fear-based science fiction cliche if you ask me. Can’t wait for robot slaves.
That would make a great tagline.
Another version: Today’s satire = Tomorrow’s Reality
Yeah, I saw that movie when I was little, in the late 60’s.
Pull its plug. This is the reason we need guns.
Eventually we will merge with computers: They will finally be able to enjoy daytime TV (soaps, game shows) and we humans will live 5,000 years, thinking pure logic after pulling the power packs of “liberal” androids. Bob Dole’s defrosted head will prove to be a popular, perpetual leader until the year 7050. There is much more you might know, but I’m saving it for my book.
Didn’t we do this already in “Colossus: The Forbin Project”?
A robot does whatever its program tells it to do.
It’s more likely that stupid programming will have robots doing violent and dangerous things, than a whole clan of robots will rise up and revolt against humans.
BTW, there is no such thing as “artificial intelligence.”
If there were no God , it would soon be over except for the (last) fat lady’s song.
"... I believe when the robot uprising comes, the ATMs will lead the charge..."
