    Well, hopefully I'll be living out of the city by the time cyborgs attack, as the cities will be most dangerous place.

    The thing that is supposed to be the "wow" factor is for Watson to be able to take human language, parse it, put it into context, and output results. That's something that has been a huge barrier in times past. It isn't any more self-aware than a rock.

    Even a rock knows it's place and will stay a rock. Watson will grow legs and eat our children.

    I'm just always in awe about how fast Tech is moving, the improvements are coming so far and fast now that is hard to keep up, 10Gigabit networks are right around the corner, with faster internet to speed of 100meg.

    Sadly my mind spirals to what can the do for gaming with this tech.

    Interesting. As long as this isn't a thing to help "human evolution" in which Zeitgiest Addendum's Venus Project insists on.

    Lol there is no such thing as macro evolution. So you think we must become cyborgs? Isn't evolution suppose to be a natural occurance? Us "evolving" with machine is not evolution at all.

    I think they said machines will be smarter than human beings in like 40 years or so... technology is headed in the wrong direction I know that.

    So wait a minute, is that going to be the next Terminator plot-they go back in time to kill Alex Trebek before he dooms us all?

  • KalmarthKalmarth Member Posts: 443

    Buck Futter!

    I dont get it!

    Oh I think you do Trebek!

    This is why I tell my gf I wont get a mac. I am not worried about terminator, matrix, iRobot etc. as long as microsoft controls the market.

    What is a terminator going to do running MS OS? His eyes will roll over blue so often and he'll have to wait for another unit to come reboot him...I'll have removed his stereo, rims, and amplifier before the 2nd one gets there.
