See the pattern here?

@ilb-because it pretty much is. until the point wjere the brain begins to develop. then it`s a small animal.

kazi October 26, 2010, 9:11 PM EST.

Comment ID #111752

@ILB: Yes, but neither is it developed to a capacity where it could be called living. If it will really be a problem in the abortionee’s future then it is necessary;such as is the case with most teen pregnancies.

sammy October 26, 2010, 9:12 PM EST.

Comment ID #111754

@ilb- it cannot, in any way, be sentient until the beginning of cranial development.

kazi October 26, 2010, 9:12 PM EST.

Comment ID #111755

and what makes you say that?

HB October 26, 2010, 9:13 PM EST.

Comment ID #111757

Oh well. No sense in arguing this here. ^_^

Anyway, I really ought to find the bathroom and then the bed. Have a good night, dears. ^_^

ILB October 26, 2010, 9:13 PM EST.

Comment ID #111758

But the brain isn’t developed. If you abort within, like, two months, who the heck cares? You are rid of an unwanted child, the child doesn’t know, let alone exist yet — People don’t really think for themselves until 18 months, minimum, some never think for themselves at all.

edit: Bed? It’s 5:15! What time are you?

double edit: It could be considered an organic computer, as it’s prime directive and innate programming is to grow. But nobody gripes when you switch off a computer.

Or does it hurt the computer?

Goodnight sleep tight don’t let Chaz invade your dreams etc :)

@hb- without any form of mind, can you be sentient?
it`s like broccoli growing in an ovary.

@kazi Lol ;)
@Wolf I will wear you down eventually >: )

Comment ID #111772

Ummm… shoot.

HB October 26, 2010, 9:17 PM EST.

Comment ID #111773

Broccoli…lol! But you’re exactly right. And if one aborts due to inability to care for, why would one have the child if the child were to live only to suffer?
So, do computers feel pain when they are shut off? and if/when we invent AI, what will we imbue with or withhold from computers?

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment ID #111777

We should withhold the capacity to dislike/hate people. Any further inhibition would result in a less accurate degree of sentience.

sammy October 26, 2010, 9:18 PM EST.

Comment ID #111778

ai…….if at or above sentience levels, same freedoms of people, if not, just an animal.

kazi is asking for random pictures. Do you people ever learn? I could get a picture for anything within 30 seconds

Wolf October 26, 2010, 9:19 PM EST.

Comment ID #111781

@kazi

You do realize humans are animals, right?

Wolf October 26, 2010, 9:19 PM EST.

Comment ID #111782

Would withholding the robots’ right to make more of themselves, would we be denying these sentients the right for freedom of expression, and indirectly, sex?

Dr. Klaus October 26, 2010, 9:20 PM EST.

Comment ID #111784

IF YOU POST PICTURES THEN YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE SAFE AGAIN

Edit: Sexual emotions should be withheld to prevent unnecessary conflict with society.

sammy October 26, 2010, 9:20 PM EST.

Comment ID #111786

they should also be given capacity to make friends/enemies, and to feel, but give them limited powers, and make crime impossible for them

*Dances* well, It depends what the AI os being used for

I have given you all a warning. The next time kazi or anyone else says something random like that I will post a maximum of 3 pictures (per random post)

@santa-no. populations must all be limited. we cannot overproduce anything in extremes.

if brought to the point of sentience, what i think of as intelligence, the robots should be given full rights, equivalent to those of their human counterparts, including the right to seek employment wherever they so choose.

Automatons and humans will never be able to interact peacefully.

I disagree. Why would you make a robot just to be like a regular person?

HB October 26, 2010, 9:26 PM EST.

Comment ID #111803

Beats me. maybe so you could put your consciousness inside an immortal shell?

So, next discussion topic:
Population control? or Obesity control? or Both? (Round up the stupid fat ones and eat them, which incidentally solves world hunger as well!)

Dr. Klaus October 26, 2010, 9:27 PM EST.

Comment ID #111804

Automatons are made to be slaves. Until we can simulate the human brain they are not humans.

Let’s talk about Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I’m about to start playing.

Comment ID #111812

Population control. We are becoming overpopulated far too quickly, and lets face it, the obese people will die anyway and it will help our cause.

Wolf October 26, 2010, 9:33 PM EST.

Comment ID #111813

But the fat people will eat up our resources. The sooner they go, the sooner we can tunnel our way out of this trench.

Dr. Klaus October 26, 2010, 9:34 PM EST.

Fine, lets compromise and kill the fat people

Uh wolf you may need to cheak the I’m knew here thread.

Population control: Give people like me and some others fully automatic guns and a shitload of ammo and just let us have fun. Clean up a lot of people.

What about the unintelligent ones? Do we educate them? If we do, who will we have left to work the factories and fields?

How about now we stop fighting and everything settles down and we move forward with this thread, because the train hasn’t only been derailed but it has been flung backward and into outer space.
