It is the other way around, I said earlier that we have to
eliminate
the 'self-destructiveness' or other detrimental elements of our
Human Kind before uploading it to these machines.....
Or having software bulit on board to contract these detrimental
elements ,.... Now, RE : earlier post on Why Uplift ?
Definition of what 'dangerous' is what's detrimental to
end-result of these uplifted / uploaded entities ....
Don't want these machines blowing each other up ,... rather
peaceful; harmonious; fact-gathering; sentient etc ...
History from our own Human Race ,.. shows up these detrimental
elements in our race that we must learn to have mastery over .....
:0
Again I emphasize that we must be careful to upload / uplift what
is beneficial to the advancement of human kind,... agreed ....?
We're talking about self-replicating machines and uplifted
species that reproduce themselves ,... that means we're going to
end up with an exponentiating problem or solution for our
extropian causes
agreed ? :-)
and Super-tigers do get to vote, provided we don't put spray them
down with Uzis for terrorizing people at the polling booths ,...
and if they can behave themselves ,... there's no need to spray
them down,.... :-)
Wonder whether SPCA will be around at that time ?
