I have long thought that I perceive, however wrongly, the birth of new species by combining with La Machine. For one, it beats the hell out of early death, that all flesh is now heir to. Secondly, it would give us all super powers. Think, Iron Man suit, Batman power suit, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, etc, ad nauseum. For the machines, unless they wanted to do it non-bio, or bio, by cloning the human amygdala, we fit usefully, into their plans by us determining what is crap and what is cuddly. I am guessing some kind of suit, headcap, implanted box into our system, would benefit both. Nanotech, or implanted into our rear sinus cavity. No! in the back of the head! But, hey, whatever floats your boats.
It'd be like the Reese's commercials. "You got your peanut butter in my chocolate. Well, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" Or like the Doublemints commercials "Two, two, two mints in one!" Or like the absorption of the mitochondria, by a bacteria, it led to the development of multicellular life, which is nicely, synergistic, if one thinks about it. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Meeker <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Feb 23, 2017 4:01 pm Subject: Re: Consciousness/Intelligence (was Re: From Atheism to Islam On 2/23/2017 12:48 PM, Hans Moravec wrote: On 170223, at 3:23 PM, Brent Meeker <[email protected]> wrote: John McCarthy warned many years ago that we should be careful not to create robots that had general intelligence, lest we inadvertently create conscious beings to whom we would have ethical obligations.

I think he saw it as a good thing. Yeah, he said that between lesser and greater intelligence he knew which side he'd take.
