[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 73234511, member: 167101"] Yes, some aspects of sci-fi seem to become a bit more possible each decade we move forward. The only caveat is that I'm less concerned about whether or not AI can become sentient as I am concerned about the human powers that be using it for a firmer form of social control. Of course, it's not like they're not already doing this...... and that's one of the interesting things I find about Harari's talk in the video from the World Economic Forum that I posted in the OP. It seems to reflect some aspects of the clip from George Lucas' film, [I]THX-1138[/I]. In fact, I think Lucas' movie is a bit more apt as a metaphor for a possible future scenario than is that of Steven Spielberg's, [I]MINORITY REPORT[/I]. o_O [/QUOTE]
