The disturbing thing to me is that the sceintists in AI who are
*seriously* talking about robot species are not talking about
initially uploading the entire consciousness of a human to the robot,
but merely the instinctual, thinking mind. No higher intellect, no
fine discriminating intellect (buddhi) and no conscience. At one of
the first Mind and Life conferences the Dalai Lama stated that once
some material matrix becomes available to hold consciousness,
consciousness will be able to incarnate into this new species. And of
course by the time we get to that stage, the ability to self-
replicate, a relatively mechanical process, will have already been
mastered.
There are a number of yogis who have talked of future Buddhas who
appear to be made of some silicon or crystalline material.
We will already, quite soon, have computers the size of cells.
Injectable. It's coming sooner than we think.
