Man-made superbeing.


Imagine what happens after humankind develops powerful quantum computers and artificial intelligence....Imagine a sentient entity which could instantly draw information from various networks all around the world, making decisions based on it and learning from it's own mistakes. A sort of digital semi-deity with super-high IQ; a big daddy of mankind.

Imagine if people colonize some planets and such entity would have access to and control of their data as well.

I just re-watched Ghost in the Shell and it made me think about it.
Better hope no one pisses it off.
Or there might be bad things... & I bet the U.S.A will be like "We haz it!" And use it to "Enforce peace" on other places.
A.K.A Send it in to destroy all.
But in all reality, Japan would of made it, U.S woulda just bought it, or claimed it, or something. Like, if you were to look at it's butt, it'd say "Made in Japan."
Either that, or after a few months of working, it'd be all. "I just realized... I can destroy you all...." And we'd kinda have a Terminator situation on our hands... except it wouldn't be after just one person...

superbeing != 50 megaton bomb resistant.

Would be pretty damn cool. Hopefully it won't go on our asses.
Hoss.
you mean something like gaia from appleseed? unless hardwired to act otherwise, such a being would very likely take the dr manhatten approach and simply lose all interest in humanity...
u mad tho :)
Possibly.

It's behavior will largely depend on how we program it, but as we know...experiences and new information can and do over-ride certain inherent behavior in sentient beings.

It would polish it's character over time to create something entirely different, possibly.

Yeah, according to the myans or the Aztecs or whatever. Fuckers.

But anyways, I read a book and it had like this kind of concept where Earth got flushed down the shitter because we were too brutal with each other so we moved to another planet. Well the survivors did.

Then they built this thing called the Oversoul which kept us from building dangerous weapons and what-not. We still had free will, but like...to an extent. And all so what happened on Earth didn't occur again.

Awesome book and kind of what you were saying cept the Oversoul wasn't a hard, guns blazing machine. Just like a satellite but could addle with everyones minds and stuff.
lol
Playstation 4. I want one lol..

Wrong. They say it's the end of the fifth world. This means a drastic change will happen, not the end of the world.

To the topic, anyway. I doubt if we could ever create anything smarter than ourselves unless it's organic. And that will evolve, not be created in a lab.

A mechanic being? As it doesn't have free will, because it only thinks in feeded code, I doubt they'll take the world.
Cool
