RE: Surfing The Singularity - Exploring The SkyNet Fallacy
When Quantum computing is the norm, we will be looking at processes that are so much faster than our own brain can. The only difference is that an android is going to have access to an unlimited number of scenarios that have been thought out, while we are just going by instinct. God help us because that's the only thing that will differentiate us from machines one day......judgement day hahah
Interesting points, and ones I've thought about a lot. Whilst I agree that quantum computing will bring insane computations into being. I still believe that there will be a function for the human brain, after all, it has undergone 4.5 billion years of R&D.
I believe the question of whether they will be our superiors in the future will be entirely moot by then. Simply because we ourselves are becoming more machine like and so the lines of difference will continue getting blurred, until there is no distinction.
Cg
The only advantage that we can have over an android that contains a quantum computing will be that 4.5 billion years of instinct. However, the knowledge of human behavior for a machine that can process billions of processes in miliseconds , might as well be instinct.
The only advantage we will have would be to install failsafe systems, as in we program a fault into their system that we can exploit.
at the end of the day, if you acted on instinct and against your best knowledge of a situation then you did alright.
But an android would have computed everything and could come to the same conclusion. At the end of the day the results are the same, which is why its going to be hard to split that line one day.
Ironically, human beings can think like machines, thats largely because we invented them!
