Only by assimilating things and persons to objects can it claim to know them, but this means the AI must learn to assimilate you to a person, and you need to assimilate the AI system to a person, too.”

In other words: a truly superintelligence can never be switched off, you need to destroy it.”

“It is a swarm of artificial agents which, all together, constitute a self-regenerating system whose agents acknowledge their membership or faithfulness to the good of the system and are able to monitor their environment. When agents of the system find irregularity in themselves they first try to repair, and will self-kill if repair fails. When an agent senses that there are persistent malfunctioning agents in its environment, it sends messages to entice them to self-kill. The neighbors then proceed to generate new healthy agents to replace the killed agent. The problem is that the DENIED vehicle was piloted by a human who was supposed to be escorted by the artificial agents. This vehicle had a failure in one of the onboard systems, which was enough for the whole swarm to decide to eliminate it.”

“The idea is to create or replicate human consciousness or the essence of being human through technology. An artificial soul is thought as a means to give the superintelligence moral standing, rights, and responsibilities. But there's a quicker way to create a system with a soul by integrating the AI into a biosystem who has a soul, that is, a human being. This is the path neuromedia is currently walking. However, if computer devices seamlessly integrated with our own onboard capacities become reality, it may be much more difficult to resist extended belief and knowledge and, with them, massive cognitive bloat.”
