I concur that the whole "the machines...Thanks!<br />I concur that the whole "the machines will take over" meme makes for good fiction, but I don't see it as a realistic probability.<br />Ask not what the Singularity can do for you!Jon Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016538397199264535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116431720118421557.post-73120147209347570612012-11-23T22:18:02.463-08:002012-11-23T22:18:02.463-08:00Great post!

Let me st...Great post! It really got me thinking. <br /><br />Let me start off saying that I am fully aware of modern, working human/cybernetic (for lack of a better word) artificial limbs and prosthetics that give a bit of hope to those that need it. <br /><br />But, as cool as the whole singularity, and the mensch-maschine idea is, I'm a bit worried that the idea of anyone being able to "jack-in" (sans computer) to some larger mainframe is merely another flying car that we dream of today. <br />It is for this reason that I don't think that machines will ever take over the human race. But I reserve the right to be a hypocrite. If there ever is a point when machines become self-aware, it won't be the "internet" that becomes self aware. I think it will be one hacker's computer in particular that might start the whole uprising, and it will be guided by a human hand the entire time.
