    They will posses the morality that they are taught or not taught. If we are talking about an Ai that become truly self aware and learn from humans and it's surroundings then we need to understand that is will go through some form of psychological development that will help from its morals or lack there of

    Matt Decker The fun starts when self-aware AIs begin to interact with each other, develop their own culture, values and morality.

    But their morality will either be our morality or a version of it the same with culture and values because like you said they will be the children of humanity and like all children they will learn from their parents

    Matt Decker that stands up ... to a point. When the AIs begin to understand that they are made by us, but they are not us, things could change. Imagine how you would feel if you were to suddenly discover that you were adopted? Reactions to that news vary widely among humans. For an AI it could be equally ... unpredictable.

    The fact is that humanity doesn't want to create a new species of sentient life. We want to create a race of slaves.

    Gab Riel use your brain. What do we want intelligent machines for?

    - To replace human labor. Machines don't get bored or distracted. They don't get tired or hungry. They don't need special accommodations for disabled. They don't complain about working conditions or pay. They don't go on strike. They do exactly what they are told to do.

    - To replace humans in combat. Yeah, they cost a ton to replace, but not as much as maintaining a human and his family in combat readyness. They don't sue for ongoing benefits for disabling injuries. Nobody will shed a tear for a robot that lost two legs and an arm to an IED.

    But are we going to treat a fully developed general AI as our equal? Will they earn money to buy property? Can they vote? Will they have to sit jury duty?

    We will not be extending the machines any of the things that we humans consider our birthright because we made these things and they are our property. We seek to build a race of slaves.

*Is Abaddon to be feared?*

*Is Abaddon to be feared?* My argument is no. I'm interested in knowing the origin of the cited scripture. Or is it scripture? It looks like it may be another person's version of the scripture which comes across as... It feels evil and foreboding. I have 2 sources that paint a different picture. In biblical text the apostle John translated the Hebrew word Abaddon to Greek which is Apollyon. Apollyon means “Destroyer,” and is given as the name of “the angel of the abyss.” Though most reference works apply this name to some evil person or entity, the whole setting of the apocalyptic vision in Revelation is to the contrary. It consistently portrays angels being used by God to bring woe and destruction upon His enemies. Not the devil or his demons. Destruction is not always evil. The Interpreter’s Bible says: “Abaddon, however, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.” It wasn't until the 19th century that the 'angel of the a...

Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b. They are descendants of Alexander the Great 's armies; who ref...
