Slag, what you describe maintains people as some sort of locus in developments. I see humans as being simply left behind, rather than taken over or enslaved. Those working in cyberspace now don't see themselves as enslaved. They are making seriously good money and while cyberspace has need of human services, it will pay what's needed to keep people helping out, just as happens in other symbiotic relationships. Once cyberspace can do things better Itself, the people will have to get real jobs waiting tables for other humans, cleaning their cars or whatever. It's quite obvious that humans are not the end-stage of development of consciousness and environmental interaction. The universe has not yet been tamed, as far as I can tell, and certainly not to my satisfaction. Like snails and chimps, humans will be irrelevant to It, not competitors, or buddies, or slaves.

This is trite fanci fluff for little school girls and school boys - not serious economic discussion about our future right? hehe You need to quit with the Peter Pan Slagle - dreams are dangerous. <The classic "Foundation" trilogy by Isaac Asimov> greaterkashmir.com Recent article on AI. asimovlaws.com 3 Laws Unsafe is based on the premise that human-equivalent AIs and robots will one day become possible, and that Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics are too simplistic to ensure a positive outcome. Although such laws may be superficially attractive, they fail to account for the intricate web of common sense and moral sensibilities characteristic of benevolent humans. In order to build a robot or AI that really cares about us, we will need to develop better strategies. 3 Laws Unsafe points out some flaws in the Asimov Laws model, and discusses potential improvements. We hope you find the site valuable!
