The big bang gave us our lives, our fun moments, our suffering, and our death. It could have solved all our issues by spawning a utopia. But nah, it wants to do it the hard way, evolution.

I mean it's the same thing in all 3 - you piggy back others (to replicate). Even with ideas, you do this. I think the OP was suggesting that ASIs may co-evolve with us and they may do extreme things with us. If we (well, ghosts, not tin cans) really can die, they may trigger it. And they may not even care to avoid triggering it! But to answer your question, 'turked humans' aren't consciousness, anymore, if they 'die'. And humans have died already, that's the problem, ASIs may kill a few more to get their ground terraformed. We can only hope re-animation of the dead can happen. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T251f13454e6192d4-Me4f4b44359d1f0423fedb452 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
