I remember two very powerful Twilight zone episodes involving robots. "I Sing the Body Electric" (Ep. 100, May 18, 1962) - Anne (Veronica Cartwright) must learn to understand and accept that her new grandmother can be tender, loving, thoughtful and caring. Even if she is a robot. "The Lonely" (Ep. 7, November 13, 1959) - A convicted murderer (Jack Warden) incarcerated on a distant asteroid is dying of loneliness. Then a supply ship captain leaves him a female robot--and a dilemma! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lonely_(The_Twilight_Zone) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Sing_the_Body_Electric_(The_Twilight_Zone) it's only a matter of time folks..... dream well, dovie

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity quote: ORIGINAL: cyberdude611 Scientists at MIT say that by 2030, we will have computers capable of the computing power of the human brain. A poll last year showed that 64% of married Americans say they would rather spend time with their computer than with their spouse. Think of how much time people spend online or playing with the computer. And then just think of the possibility that in the future that computer could talk to you and hold an intelligent conversation and then have robots that look human.... I mean this guy's theory may not be all too rediculous once you think about it. People already form relationships with things that are not alive. I remember when as a kid I'd be watching Captain James T. Kirk telling his computer to do certain things and it did it, and I thought, MAN - that's the future. Now I say, "computer, get me prices and availability for x" and it does it. No matter what I want... okay, sure, so I have to do a little more work than Captain Kirk did, but it's still pretty damn rightous. "Computer, find me a submissive..." Just from the advances I've witnessed growing up, it won't surprise me at all when I see artificial intelligence taking on increasing roles in all our lives. They've already been looking at how computers can recieve brain signals. Imagine someone being given a robotic arm that responds to the person's brain signals? Or an artificial heart that pumps when the brain tells it to? That kind of technology is not going to be sci-fi much longer. It's being worked on right now.

Comedy aside (and there's tons of potential here for it) if you are aware of the writtings of Ray Kurzweil he spells out how this might become true in a believable way. He speaks of "the law of accelerated returns". This mean that techology is causing an exponential expansion of progress. Society has advanced more in the past 50 years than in the past 1000. Look at just how computers have changed in our lifetime. Extrapolating that for 20 years and it's not difficult yo imagine artificial intelligence and realistic THINKING AND FEELING machines being amoung us. Kurzqweil goes one step farther. He suggest that after machines become like us - we will become machines! Why? Becuase we will want too. As medical imaging technoliges improve he suggest a day will come when what we call ourselves will be downloaded and run as a program. He suggest that cloning will also be advanced at this time so you would also have the option of running a "back up" of your mind while you sleep and if you die the next day they'll be able to clone you a new body with cells you left behind and then transfer your backup to the new body. But why be bound by flesh? It'll be as easy to download you into a THINKING AND FEELING robot. This concept has it's advantages. Perhaps by that time we'll be terra forming Mars. It would come in real handy to "beam" a specialist's mind at the speed of light to an awaiting robot there than take that long boring trip and burn all that fuel. Heck maybe you want to visit France. You could be there in the time it takes to download a few MP3's.

AI on the human level would be "strong AI", able to advance itself further. They'd surpass humans in days. They'd view us like we view monkeys. If, well, monkeys built atomic weapons to kill eachother with. We do have the analog to poop-throwing down already.

After so long, the magic of life is just gone from us. We become cynical, like the proverbial Scrooge or Monty Burns. The joys of discovery are gone... and it's so, even on a cosmic scale. There comes a time for winter, and there comes a time for spring.

There comes a time for winter, and there comes a time for spring. I think we become cynical and loose the magic in part because a faculties fail and our hormones drop off the map. This is not a limitation with life as a machine. You could be as sharp as you ever were forever. And if you wanted some joy then take a vacation as a robot to a moon of saturn and watch it's rings in your night sky. I think of this scenario and it dawns on me how productive our lives are. Typically we spend 25 years of our life just learning emough skills to give something back to society. We give back for another 25 before we start to slow down and after 75 years or so we aren't adding much at all. But what if you learned for 25 years and then contributed for 1000? What would physics be right now if Einstein was still alive? Where would medicine be if Alexander Fleming was still alive? Where would civil right be if Martin Luther King was still alive, or if we could havest the dead cells from any of these people and restored them from backup? Of cource this also begs the question on where would be if Hitler was restored from backup... etc etc. But I'd still be willing to play that game. Hell, in 1000 years I might actually be able to learn to spell. :)

Does anyone recall the films,"Westworld" and "Cherry 2000"? Doesn`t seem to far fetched. How much more ,is the "conjugal" model going to cost?

samboct -> RE: Scientist: Humans will soon marry robots (10/11/2007 7:14:03 PM)
Hold it- the Coultergeist is having "relations"? Has anybody's dick been stuck in her and been retrieved in one piece and without frostbite? Somehow, I don't think the robots are going to measure up that quickly....Even if a bunch of us here are into a bit of S + M, would you want your dick to be that mangled? Not me.... Sam

That kind of technology is not going to be sci-fi much longer. It's being worked on right now. Actually, at least in terms of limbs, it's not science fiction at all at this point. I know an interface responding to signals from the brain has already been successful for limb prostheses, though I don't know if they are on the open market yet.

I dont really see the advantage of a robot spouse. However, it would be absolutely wonderful if we could just get machines to understand pain, such that when the car breaks down for no reason and one kicks it, it really might think about starting again. And computers too - no, not you my lovely PC, youre wonderf dfmno[jSLAEMAPK stop it omno[m:OAEm:Licgv fuckin' machine. E
