….Musk thinks AI is potentially more dangerous than Nukes: http://mashable.com/2014/08/03/elon-musk-artificial-intelligence/ with comments by Kurzweil. “Dangerous to whom” is the deeper question. If you believe in a soul of some kind, independent of biology – then the real question is should we limit our identity options to evolved-apes, or should we consider identifying with whatever superior species becomes technologically available to transport our “real identity” ? In fact, the next dominant species on earth will probably merge biology with manufactured circuitry in ways that we can scarcely imagine now. It will not be an easy decision, but the older and frailer that one gets, the more alluring are the alternatives. Jones
