But, in my opinion, it probably won't happen, simply because machines won't need awareness or emotions. Most likely they will evolve more on the 'crunch the numbers' side of things and skip all the human 'weaknesses' on their way to dominate the universe ... Now this is the type of comment that convinces me that there is a future in fiction writing. Agreed. All tech today was 'fiction' at some point... Allam Watts said it best-" Things or ideas which would otherwise be seen as bizarre, vulgar, undesirable or impossible are inserted into films in the realm of fantasy. When the viewer watches these films, his/her mind is left open to suggestion and the conditioning process begins"

Nothing to see here, move along...move along.
