Floating through space with near unlimited computing power seeding planets?
Will we keep our human bodies and enjoy the simplicity of living while machines build us giant (on scales we can barely fathom) structures in space?
Will we have to teach machines the value of life and why they shouldn't take it? It would be relatively simple to teach a machine about living. Humans don't really have persistent memory when turned off, humans only have RAM, if you remove the power source, our RAM gets cleared and we no longer exist. I think a computer could fairly easily understand that.
Will advanced AI machines or human/machine hybrids instantly understand that war and violence is harmful and pointless?
What would the goals of an AI system be? To grow? To help humanity? To ensure it's own survival? To colonize other worlds? To experiment, invent, and build?
I'd be very interested in listening in on the AI meetings at Google that Kurzweil is involved in, I'm sure they're fascinating.
I can't imagine having two brains hooked up to myself or having a secondary computing device attached to my brain, would it be information overload? Will humans ever be able to near instantly learn things?
What happens when multiple human brains connect to the same network? Would we be essentially one organism?
