<<What makes you think we'll be able to terminate a being which is orders of
magnitude more intelligent than we are? And even if we could, what makes
you think AI will be bribable? Why should it *care* whether it is
terminated? Particularly when its existence consists mostly of slave labor?
Try putting yourself in the AI's shoes. How would *you* react? Me thinks
that if you start the human-AI relationship on the basis of fear, threats
and mistrust, it is the humans who will come out with the short end of the
stick.>>
George Dyson, has it right when he views us as part of the machine, rather then a.i. being something totally away from the human realm. If you were a manufactured intelligence, perhaps you would desire feedback, tactilly from the world? Maybe that's a primary element of what a.i. needs to succeed?
