That's what super computers are for, or even better the waste basket.

Maybe it will be Socialism that will kill us all.

I will say it is when people are don't care about each other anymore. This is really the end of the humanity!

We have a new nominee: CERN

Well, I guess it is not bad to be kept as pet by the robot that u designed!

Well, a whole year has gone by. Actually mostly business as usual, at least for most of us. The black hole has not swallowed us after all, and we still have air to breath. Even Hollywood has managed to supply us with plenty of movies to yawn along with.

Let's hope the following year will be as dull for humanity in general as the last one!

I see, DaniWeb has changed a little, but still manages to get those surprise duplicates popping up.

humanity will burrow itself in red tape and drown in a sea of bureaucracy, which will make it impossible to do anything without filling out elaborate forms and waiting years for permission to do even something as basic as reproduce.
Those who do not give up living at that stage will be so stupified they'll be incapable of doing anything, even breeding.

Humans only have a small understanding of why humans have the capacity to think, so why people always argue so strongly about artificial intelligence is beyond me. Maybe I have no education on the subject, but it seems to me that any "thinking" being done would involve a series of probabilities and choices, and an assignment of importance to certain information over other information - and however complex that is, it does not constitute thinking, IMO. Since the people who study the human brain have such a minute understanding of how it works, how can software duplicate a process that is much more complex than our current knowledge can comprehend?

Is it the quality of the though process or the speed more important for survival?
