500 years from now -- people will be machines-slaves to giant mainframe computers
be glad that you are living in the early stages right now where you still have freedom of expression across these vast networks

bah... people have been "opening their eyes" throughout history. Whenever a technological breakthrough is achieved, there are people claiming it'll be the end of the world. When the steamtrain was invented, people were afraid it would be dangerous to travel at such develish speeds. When television was invented people were afraid it would numb everybody and prevent them from ever going outside anymore...
ehr...
hm... so maybe you do have a point ;-)

well.. ultimately we would've created the machine ourselves..
that would make us look silly, wouldn't it..?

We'll probably just kill ourselves in a nuclear holocaust before the robot-scenario ever gets a chance to happen ;-)

illusions could be thrown over peoples eyes to make them think they were just living normal lives and actually be operating a gigantic power cell inside a mainframe computer

as long as computers must follow a logical protocol, esentially "ON" and "OFF" commands, then we'll be fine.
Even artificial intelligence is little more. If we are able to program true "Logic" though, without the binart ONES and ZEROS idea, well...................... =)

Or maybe we will invent a planetary-destruction-device called a "death star", and accidentally blow up the earth with that! :-p

Yep, it seems that regardless of countless of warnings about such a future, we still continue to head for just that future. I already saw a doc where they were working on EMOTIONS for robots! YAY, SMART MOVES IDIOTS!

humans act in a much more analog fashion.
Neurons are continuously variable. You can digitize the analog signal of the brain, but you won't get the same results, just like turning sound waves to mp3s.
anyway, a circuit can only perform logical operations as seen by a human programmer, if a porgrammer were to error, then the mistakes could lead to something twisted.
however, I simply don't see a binary style of logic ever being able to result in true logical conscious.
I have been known to be wrong from time to time though....

they already have the weapons
imagine air traffic control mainframes telling all above aircraft to crash into designated areas around the world, and not allowing the pilots to take control of them

I want my right arm to be a chainsaw with flamethrower attachment so i could blast stuck up emo kids at my college and then cut them up like cheese. And of course lasers beam eyes, and built in jet pack attached to my spinal chord, and a detachable penis
