Was that really necessarily?


Anyway something tells me Skynet wont happen. What is far more likely to happen is robotic AI taking over in order to "save" the human race in its mind.

Personally with all the lies and corruption I would rather see such a system happen. A robot wont care about how much money you have

Maybe ...

In any case, on the Science Channel last night I watched a program called Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman, or something titled like that. It was primarily a discussion regarding intelligent design, and whether or not physics believes such a concept exists.

During the last segment there was the suggestion that we are nothing other than computer programs running in some super-computer. Anyone with a basic understand of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum theory along with the quantum measurement problem would have found the implications intriguing.

Essentially, it was suggested that quantum theory (specifically wave function collapse, or better, decoherennce) is the result of the inherent physical processes that reflect video games. To wit, one only "sees" what one is looking at, and what is NOT being observed, doesn't actually exist.

Intriguing, yes, but relevant because if Moore's Law holds true, such super-computers in a very short time will be possible, meaning the the concept of "Skynet" is very real.
