Hugo de Garis on the debate between Terrans and Cosmists
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A_5-Van9m4
The question is why should we build gods when we could just as easily build ourselves into
gods? We could create these artilects as empty shells than download our own minds into the
artilects before ever turning them on. I personally would much rather make myself a god than
build some other god to rule me, if I had the choice.
But, by the time you put your mind into a robot whose brain is 1000 times as large, the part
that is you will be drowned out. And shouldn't it be? Is your brain all that great? Or are you
merely expressing your human ego?
denito9474:
To be perfectly honest, I should very much like to be God. Always have, as long as I can
remember. Ever since I first heard of Him or read the Bible I thought to myself, "I want that
guy's job."
apophysis, but these are from the electric sheep project, I think most people there use apo but
there's also a genetic alogrithm which breeds the different flames with eachother.
