When I last saw his stand up, he jokes about how humans are going to become extinct by being ‘*****’ to death by robots. In other words, these sex robots are going to be so close to perfection that we won’t be able to tell the difference between them and us. kinda freaky to think about. The Amish will still be around. The only problem is that everybody else dying off puts a hurt on the Amish living on the fringe of society. Nobody would be around to drive them to town or use a phone. A conundrum ahead for the Amish bishops.

Perhaps that becomes their life and they simply are hooked to an iv and literally never leave that world? tech is moving so quick it only takes a couple of advances and that's a reality for some people So a real-life Matrix existence?

They are letting criminals go with no bail and giving them Mets tickets, Amazon Cards, and Dunkin Donuts gift cards if they appear in court. What would make you believe that the politicians who allow this care about you and/or your family? Bro, I'm truly not trying to argue. My question is legit. Mets tickets are more than enough punishment and actually worse for society -who needs more @Gugny's around?

If someone would have came out to the park in Queens where we hung out in the 70s and told us that talking telephones would take us to a destination thousands of miles away, we would have thought the person was tripping. I also predict that at some point, people will be able to point phones at each other and read the other person's mind. Not in my lifetime mind you, but I think that it is just a matter of time. Jmo. They already have that phone mind reading thing but it only works when you point at a Canadian because nothing happens.

Nextmanup Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 All kidding aside... Let's be honest. When the day comes that a man can go buy a super hot sexy girlfriend robot and have sex with it in a manner that is convincing enough to replicate 80% or 90% of the real thing...there are going to be a lot of robot manufacturing company billionaires, fewer real human couples, and not nearly as many children running around. The technical hurdles that need to be overcome for such a challenge are huge. Imagine how easy it is to detect the differences between a robot with today's technology and a real human being. It's not even like comparing a modern video game to Space Invaders. We're not that far yet. Having said that, and applying some sort of adaptation of Moore's law to the problem, it stands to reason that the day will come when the super robots do in fact exist. No idea how long that will take. 100 years? A lot more? But the day is probably coming! Humans who will be around to see those creations are going to be freaked out.

Saxum Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I think movie "Bicentennial Man" is a good example of what can happen in future. Humans will become more artificial and machines more human-like but the two will not become indistinguishable.
