If you really have done as much research as you claim to have, you won't be making assertions about how "its behavior can be controlled" and "we can give it xyz standard of morality". The fact is people have tried for thousands of years to figure out how to control other peoples'...

"It will need to approach human levels of intelligence before it can start to see the value of laws of the land & moral codes for itself..." Most humans don't see the value of the laws of the land--at least until it's favorable to them or something they value. In general they would be ...

But judging from the discussion thus far I'm going to have to save this thread and find time to read it. Reworking (or working, as the case may be) magnetic field...

Art is not "free", because there are rules that define "good art" and "bad art". Those rules are terribly difficult to quantify mathematically, but it doesn't therefore follow that there aren't any. Logic does not require a "formal learning of rules" either, b...

I've actually heard it argued that the speed of light was faster in the past, explaining the fact that we can see stars and galaxies that are hundreds of billions of lightyears away (which, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see because the light wouldn't have gotten here yet). Actually there is a t...
