yes, that's a cute example :-). I'm more refering to scenario's in line with current robot trends, due to decreasing costs and increasing abilities: such as the following projection, where by 2035 there will be more autonomous robots than humans. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JiVHeVWFrdo/T41liP4OUgI/AAAAAAAACqg/sGhPq7qJ9T4/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-04-17+at+8.43.09+AM.png there are quite likely already more mobile phones than people: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/mobile-phone-world-population-2014/ and nearly 2 billion smart phones. http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Smartphone-Users-Worldwide-Will-Total-175-Billion-2014/1010536 people continue to upgrade their smart phones. maybe later they'll want one that can follow them around, run ahead and open doors for them, or have a decent conversation, with plenty of validation, active listening, bias-checking and other things easily programmed, which normal humans find tough to provide due to self-interest, or due to being also limited by human biases. from Logan ya > > On Tue, Mar 17, 2015 at 11:43 AM, Calum Chace via AGI <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Hi Logan > > > > If you like I'll send you a mobi or epub file of my book, and you can see > > if you think it is helpful or not. > > > > Regards > > Calum > > > > On 17 March 2015 at 16:33, Logan Streondj <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> On Tue, Mar 17, 2015 at 11:29:55AM +0100, Calum Chace via AGI wrote: > >> > So, my question is, what is the best way for people who think along > >> these > >> > lines to try and steer the public debate on AGI? > >> > Calum > >> > >> Calum, thank you for your presence. > >> > >> I was requesting an author to help our cause earlier, > >> even contacted C.
