Hmmm, I don't remember mentioning 'immoral' in my post. As for the decision on ethics and literally everything, I have literally been waiting for people all year to 'be ready' to work on this. But I am now tired of waiting and decided to just out with it. I believe things will work out well eventually. The point is not so much about immortality or all-powerful beings as it is about giving humanity another kind of existence we have not had before, but which appear very plausible to me. So we take all the best things we have discovered/learned from our lives and try to redesign human life the best way we know. If anything is worth doing, this is worth doing also.

> Hmmm, I don't remember mentioning 'immoral' in my post. There was talk of ethics. An ethic is defined as, a set of moral principles : a theory or system of moral values. If something goes against one’s ethics, it would be considered immoral. I don’t agree with the idea that AI is a new form of humanity. If we attribute humanity to machines, what does it mean to be human? How do we differentiate between organic life and machine? What does it mean to be alive? If the machine does go rouge and we pull the plug, does that become murder? There are a lot of implications to this kind of thing. This may be mostly semantics, but the words we use will define how these things fit into society and govern its ethics. If we tell an AI it’s human, and that humans can kill if their own life is threatened, the machine could justify killing actual humans to save itself.
