But let's just sit around watch the fucking kardashians and pretend it's all cool. Fuck me. If that's the evolution level of humanity, we are not long for the extinct species list :)

Also, I'm worried that if/when we develop true AI, it will learn its behavious from us. Imagine if the army got to raise the equivalent of an excitable 3-year-old with a superintellect and railguns for arms.

I want to see different visions. I want to see more robot helpers, robot pets, robot workers, and robot space explorers.

I know.

The way the us is using drones already is apalling

Yep...and when people share things from boston dynamics for example....I get chills. You know these aren't going to be made into helper bots....they're made to aid in death dealing plain and simple

EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. http://conceptrobots.blogspot.com/ It gets boring.

Even though I do like some military concept art, it does bother me that ALL the robots at the Concept Robots blog are military drones and stuff.

I don't think it was junk science, but I could be wrong.

I read about this somewhere, I'll try to find it.

I don't think there are any purely logical people

28 Jun 19:38

Mechanizoid

There is a certain form of a brain damage that results in someone being perfectly logical and non-emotional. They get paralyzed over decisions like when to visit the doctor, because they try to solve it rationally.

28 Jun 19:38

Mechanizoid

--

Yep! But what's funny is that purely logical people can't actually function in the world.

28 Jun 19:37

Amit Dutta

Haha yeah :) We are incredibly non rational, regardless of how logical and rational anyone claims they are

I know, it is really weird, I don't like violence but I do like concept art of guns and stuff! I can't explain it, I'm only human. XD

And yet you like tracking bullets that explode on impact lol :) just joking

That is exactly the way I feel too, Amit. Do no suffering to other conscious beings.

28 Jun 19:33

Amit Dutta

Morality all depends on your perspective...so it can change. I do believe there is merit in doing more "good" things to help other conscious beings, for the sole fact that we understand some small measure of them through the self reflection of our own consciousness. That's about it. Do no sufferring to others. These are personal choices though.

We'll have to deal with that if we ever find aliens. They may have orange and blue morality. XD

Mechanizoid

It wouldn't really make sense, the universe is a lot bigger than us or our ideas of good and bad.

28 Jun 19:29

Mechanizoid

--

Yes, there probably isn't.

28 Jun 19:29

Amit Dutta

--

I don't believe there is any such thing as absolute morality.

28 Jun 19:28

Amit Dutta

--

Lord, I'm not gonna get into that, haha. But in one word. No

28 Jun 19:28

Mechanizoid

I've thought about this a lot. Often things in life are too complicated for a simple black-and-white notion like that, but sometimes people do things that seems to clearly fall onto a polarity like that.

28 Jun 19:27

Mechanizoid

This is probably too big a question for a chatbox, Amit, but do you believe in the idea of good and evil?

28 Jun 19:26

Amit Dutta

Cya!

CYA John!

Got to run! See you guys later!

I'm not sure if I made myself clear either, chatboxes are far too limited a medium lol

Well then nobody is upset. :-)

Haha I'm not upset :)
