"If the machines turn on us, we can just stop repairing them."
Never understood this reasoning.
We are not talking about machines vs. biologic life, this is a false dichotomy. We are talking about intelligence.
Intelligence is the ability to control the environment through the understanding of it. Any solvable problem can be solved with enough intelligence.
Repairing a machine is just a problem. The only limitations for intelligence are the laws of physic.
- cwp 11y agoThat's my point. The laws of physics are a bitch. We like to think of the internet as a place of pure platonic ideals, where code and data are all that matter. But that ethereal realm is still grounded in matter and ruled by physics. And without bags of mostly-water working 24/7 to keep it going, the internet just falls apart.
