Topic: How the Robots Will Take Over - page 2. (Read 960 times)
Nano robots like the ones they made in the show Revolution on NBC?
Nano robots would seem likely to destroy mankind more than the singularity would.
But I think rather than robots taking over killing mankind, it will eventually be more like we simply become absorbed through a combination of natural evolution + manmade/computer evolution. So 10K years from now man may not exist as we know it now, but it's not like Bender went on a rampage and killed all the humans. Man simply will be a mix of tech and organic evolution.

I need to learn more about nano-tech.
Sounds like we have a better chance against the Terminators?

Scariest thing about it is the nano technology already exists, and you don't need future AI to program something to rebuild itself.
This doomsday scenario could take place in a couple years by a terrorist group, or even by a good guy with a simple programming mistake.
There would be no where to run - no where to hide.

Dear Diary: My crush on Nanotech? So over! All he talks about is how great he is: An engineering system that constructs machines, robots and computers at the molecular level, one atom at a time, and with the ease of a photocopier. What did he promise me? What didn’t he promise is more like it! “Babygirl, I’ll make human organs heterostatic, put a spaceship in every garage and slide a supercomputer into every pocket. Heck, I’ll even end world hunger.”
“You had me at heterostatic,” I gushed. I’m such an idiot.
Now things are getting out of control. My boyfriend’s particles are toxic and spreading; they turn every element they meet into versions of themselves, leaving behind a “gray goo.” So gross! Food is scarce, terrorists have the know-how, and people are saying the world is ending. This might be my last entry before the biosphere is consumed.
TTYL... I hope!

One way that future robots could conquer the world is by violence. But that seems both inefficient and uncreative. Allow me to suggest some smarter ways for robots to do their conquering.
Are you thinking Terminator style robots?
I think the end will come with nano robots. Too small to see - automatically replicating themselves and consuming all resources. They would kill humanity (and everything else) even without meaning to.

it begins with the akinator.......

I start by imagining what happens when the first computer achieves what is called The Singularity. That's the moment the computer can program itself faster than humans can program it. Soon after that point, futurists say, you would see the computer rapidly evolve to have super intelligence and perhaps something that looks like free will. ...
...The computer doesn't need to be in a hurry, so it introduces Bitcoin and waits for it to evolve into the primary currency of the planet....
..
I don't believe the story I'm weaving. But I do think that the first signs of a benevolent post-singularity computer would include the following:
A mysterious digital currency with no known author.
Unusually well-behaved financial markets.
Slow and steady improvement in the economy.
Slow news days (lots of them)
Fewer military flare-ups
Stuxnet virus (unknown authors again)
Legalization of Marijuana (to keep humans happy)
I'm not saying the first post-singularity computer is already here. I'm just saying it looks that way.

Satoshi was a robot?
At least Scott Adams has an active imagination.
