That's very nice of them. If I had the means towards that end, I wouldn't hand out welfare like that. In fact, I would probably tend towards the future scenario that was painted in Terminator, only with me controlling the AI, while pretending towards humanity that the AI went out of control. More profits that way.
Seriously, if you have that kind of power, what's the incentive to let everyone else live?
- philipkglass 7y agoAn army of Terminators can't keep you safe from retaliation. Anyone who tries to take over the world with killer robots will be fought by other people. You might be able to provoke World War III by unleashing killer robots against all the world's governments and their militaries, but you won't be able to prosper or even (probably) survive.
- Kaiyou 7y agoYou use the Terminators to pretend to be real people and than vote for other Terminators. You take over every country in the world without anyone noticing it even happened.
- kyuudou 7y ago> Seriously, if you have that kind of power, what's the incentive to let everyone else live? Ethics and morals, maybe? Basic human empathy? I think I get where you're going with this. There are those, sociopaths and psychopaths for example, who would go to any length to get that kind of power and... what, when they have their T-3000s they're suddenly gonna have a come-to-Jesus moment? Unlikely, yeah.
- Kaiyou 7y agoEthics and morals are traits that prevent people from raising to power, which is why people in power tend to be sociopaths.
