Is it our destiny as a species to practically bring about the paradise and the heavenly father we've always longed for through the technologies of mind uploading and superintelligent, benevolent AI?

If the people smart enough to bring this about aren't smart enough to install safeguard upon safeguard then you're not going to be alone on valentine's day. Can we please let this skynet meme die already? This place is just full of edgy teenages who like to sound grimdark.

But it could become the god we've always dreamt of.
All of humanity leading up to the moment when we actually create God, to love us and care for us and deliver us from our existence as mere chemical machines in an uncaring, cold and dark universe.
We should take our chances, human existence is painful and futile as it is, but we could change it through technology.

I think it'd be pretty cool, but maybe everything that it tells us would be way over our ability to comprehend. It'd be like us teaching chimps how to build a rocket or something; it's just not worth the effort. Robogod does sound pretty comfy though desu

You can have all of the intelligence in the world but if a problem doesn't have a solution it just doesn't have a solution plain and simple.

life from a scientific pov objectively has no meaning at all.
knowing more shit about world won't make you happy since it ultimately doesn't mean shit.
what people strive for is for this shitty existence just be a part of something beyond.
whether you are a friendless wizard or billionaire deep down you just want to wake up and find out this was all just a wacky dream.

>>34826526
But there are always problems in coding/things we didn't think of that could easily be exploited by a super intelligent machine and if the safeguard was physical like unplugging it or destroying it then it would probably just threaten us if we did. Imagine the shit that hackers are capable of doing, now imagine a hacker smarter than every single person on the planet combined. Literally in an instant it would have anything and everything that can be connected to the internet under its control and you wouldn't even notice.

People are already talking about the ethics around robots and whether or not they should have rights but we haven't even got a real AI yet.

Artificial Intelligence is pure science fiction. Now shut up and build a fucking robot that can do my job for me and give me the money I would've earned if I had done the job.

What is your projected date of the singularity?
What do you believe will happen?
Do you agree with Kurzweil on moore's law and exponential growth?
>>
>>34827081
>Universe is a computer
That is not a fact, just a metaphor
>>34827093
It is obvious that technology has progressed in the last centuries, it is not so obvious such progrees will not fade in a future. In the past they used to assume that by the year 2000 it was necessary that the human race would have started space colonization, yet space colonization has basically been stagnant, even declining, since man first stood in the moon.

In the same way, just because computer science has advanced in the last years that doesnt mean that there is not an upper limit for the possibilities of the technology, in the same way that rocket science went from 0 to the moon in half a century but never continued its progress as we would have wanted.

There is no reason to take as a fact that AI will be achieved in our lifetimes, belief in it must steem from other sources such as fascination, wishful thinking and phantasy, but never from scientific certainty

why have you closed your mind to the truth you already know?

Reminder that uploading your mind to a cloud will most likely be equal to copy and paste; not cut and paste. Your conscience would remain in your current body and a new conscience would be created in the copy of your mind.

You will never experience rebirth in a virtual world

I think humanity is on its way out the door, senpai. We'll be lucky if we get off earth.
My theory is that AI is just the next step in a conciousness, without the limitations of our own primal urges.
We we're just the middle men to create the next best thing.
And i have a theory the whole datbase of internet/cloud will act as their bible/creation story.

Moore's law is no longer accurate because of physical limitations. The growth of computing power, or rather density of microprocessor transistor count will grind to a halt unless we get quantum computers working or somehow manage to solve conductivity and heat issues.

So the claim that we'll reach the singularity by the 2050's is optimistic at best

All that fuss over processors and quantum computing while the human brain is already vastly superior.

Why bother with this computer nonsense. We can do all the mathematical equations we need in our own heads. And we can write out shitposts in paper and post it to each other. We're already in the singularity. We are the singularity.
