Fitness doesn't Matter

    Srsly, there's actually no point in trying to lead a really healthy lifestyle and all that crap. In fifty years time it won't matter who is the healthiest and fittest or who has the longest life expectancy, 'cos we'll all just be able to download our brains into a computer and live forever in our own virtual world of ecstasy. And we'll have stem cells and gene therapy within twenty or so years to bridge the gap, so as long as you're not in imminent danger of dying in twenty years, don't worry about it.

    So, yeah. Eat as much pizza cake as you like.

    You can be sarcastic all you like, but it actually is inevitable that as long processing power continues to increase at the rate it is (and it will) we should expect the first human-equivalent AI to appear around 2030. After that the rate of technological advancement will be exponential and around from 2050 on every passing second will see the equivalent of the last 300 years of scientific and technological advances.

    THE FUTURE IS NOW

    You could create your own universe, your own life, your own societies, civilizations, people, anything! It would be anything but boring and indistinguishable from reality.

    No its not, the future is the future. The present is now.

    Ill stick with the training for now. After all a healthy mind in a healthy body is what is required of all our science gurus if they are to make all these advancements.

    lol think you need to stop getting your future predictions from sci fi novels and start getting them form actual scientists

    it might happen alright just not in 50 years or even 100.

    also do you take no pride in your appearance?

    So what should we do for the next 50 years while we're waiting?

    And will this program come in mac compatible format as well?? I don't want to experience any blue screens of death.

    Would pressing ctrl+alt+delete be akin to suicide??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,991 ✭✭✭metamorphosis
