[QUOTE=Marbalo;36715839]If we ever develop an android of sorts, that is able to completely 100% replicate the human brain, would it ever be considered on-par with actual humans?
I mean, after all, human thought is merely electric pulses going through our brains. If we created a machine capable of thinking, feeling and rationalizing the same way we do, who is to say they aren't fully-fledged humans too?[/QUOTE]
I guess what seperates us from robots would be that humans can be influenced by emotions, decisions which are not always the rational ones can be made based upon strong emotions. A robot will always choose the rational option which makes the most logical sense.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;36715319]Where as in reality, I'm pretty sure we would do our best to use diplomacy to understand this new intelligence man had bequeathed unto the universe. Trying to kill it was simply a plot device for entertainment. [/QUOTE]
you know persons with mental health problems who don't understand any words, you understand why they are isolated from society?
So why that super intelligent artificial brains can have similar problems or something worse.

only if you program it so, in sci-fi movies that is very much the case; however if there we programming complex enough for a robot to make decisions based on actions that provoke various implemented emotions then i would imagine it to be extremely similar.
programming emotions into robots would seem incredibly illogical though

Does this mean that we will be able to infinitely overclock without the worry of destroying the CPU because it will heal itself?
No, as soon as the thermal energy of the atoms becomes greater than the binding energy of the atoms, the structure will change phase (and mess up your computer)

I should fucking hope so, considering all of the shit we've messed up.
It might not be the nuclear-filled future he predicted, but it's not looking too bad at that.
