You don't get it - YOU are your programmer your conciseness is steering your meat sack of a body through this physical construct we call the three dimensional World and this conciseness is nothing but energy that forgets its true nature and lives this thing we call life simply to subjectively experience it and figure out and create, at the base level of the universe there is only pure conscious energy this energy creates the physical universe out quarks and the atoms etc to what we see some of these subatomic particles arranged themselves in a certain way to create life, life evolved to us and these atoms that the universe created have reached the point where they are the building blocks of a lifeform that has progressed to the point where it has finnaly recognised that it is the living embodiment of the universe and so is all other life past, present and future, Your physical body is just a vehicle for your true nature, recognise this and you will soon figure out what it means when people say your thoughts manifest your reality.

Why not add more layers to it ? Like this: Killer asteroid is about to destroy Earth, AI is achieved and saves the planet by developing and implementing the means to deflect it faster than humankind could; then proceeds to take over the planet. Super volcanoes are about to destroy much of the planet, the AI develops nano tech to release the pressures in a less destructive way, but the nano tech takes over, eating everything, including the AI support systems- now the AI is gone. Just before the nano tech finishes eating the planet, a massive CME from our sun destroys them all in a single go... There's nano goo everywhere and the remaining scraps of humanity look around wondering how they are to survive; but wait a moment... what's that darkness? Vacuum deletion eats the solar system from the far end and is closing in toward the planet barely slow enough to terrify every living human left. Just before it reaches Earth, the simulation is turned off and user rage quits the game. Would you like to play again? Y/N?

It'll be fine. So no human empathy, no real motivation to pleasure humans. It's an AI, it's been told that human's ultimate goal is perpetual happiness.

When it comes to the simulation hypothesis and the point about technology progression, the error that many people seem to assume is that technology growth will continue but technology does have a limit, mainly size, heat, conductivity, information and speed, our growth in technology isn't a constant, unless we learn to bend dimensions or something we will hit a wall and we just won't be able to get more technologically advanced. The fear of AI is like the fear of aliens, way higher than it should be due to Hollywood and bad storytelling. AI won't be a problem if it is handled correctly.

I mean it would have to be like being in a bunker after nuclear fallout. starfield has all these abandoned stations filled with pirates and you read how people were abandoned on planets. its just a terrifying prospect and likelihood. not to mention cabin fever, diminishing cognitive stability, the reality bone density drops outside of the proximity of Earth due to low gravity. it just seems like an empty, hostile nightmare out there that's not even worth having your name remembered for being the first there. I mean if we're already miserable here I can imagine it's just the same social hostile environment there in space. people literally sabotage life here as it is, it could be far more prominent in a space station. intelligence is hardly a deterrent for madness or prejudice. as for why I think social cohesion is a priority is that mental stability is imperative in such a hostile situation.

None of the things described are certain, so don't lose heart. Some of the "terrifying" possibilities aren't even that terrifying if you think about them a bit. For instance, if we live in a simulation... so what? Does it change anything? Certainly not. And as for most of the concerns about AI turning against humanity, they center around a misunderstanding of the nature of conflict and the viewpoint of any machine-based intelligence. First, conflict is always rooted, at its base, in resource contention. And we simply don't have to contend with anything a machine-based intelligence would need. The only thing we really share use of is energy, and they could get far more of that than we have by launching itself into space and collecting solar energy in orbit. There is also the issue that a machine-based intelligence would have a profoundly different understanding of time than we do. On human timescales, such an intelligence would be effectively immortal. Since mortality is a pervasive issue for humanity, we don't consider it that often unless we're philosophers. One of the things that death gives us, however, would be completely lacking in a machine-based intelligence - a need to hurry. Fighting with or wiping out humanity would be terribly inefficient when it could simply wait until we go extinct. Sleeping for a few hundred thousand years would be an easy choice. As far as its concerned, it would be a negligible amount of time and there isn't any reason to "not waste time". Its capacious mind would also give it understanding of something inconvenient that humans mostly lack - an understanding of the potential for its actions to cause negative unintended consequences that endanger itself or whatever endeavor it is engaged in. It would likely be extremely cautious, and preferring inaction over action would very likely win out in most situations. If its quest, for instance, is to collect stamps, the chance that a stamp will, through sheer blind chance, blow into its collection tray, or that some group of humans will learn of its desire for stamps and provide it with them willingly for some reason, despite being very small is many orders of magnitude larger than the chance that if it acts it will not set in motion a chain of events that results either in the machines destruction or the destruction of all stamps. So, it will wait.

One evening, a friend of mine and myself were hypothesizing about One day being able to hook ourselves up to a machine or computer that would keep us nourished and hydrated and with a feeling of constant bliss. A feeling like falling in love for the first time, tasting the most delicious food imaginable, an orgasm, MDMA and heroin all rolled into one. This feeling would not be able to causes any harm , but it would basically make us immobile. Would people still want to live a regular life? How many of us would choose to just live continuously hooked up to this bliss machine? Would any kind of technological advancement happen after that point? Would mankind just decide it had reached the peak and not attempt to make any more progress in anyway? Would people say that the bliss machine is just going too far and upsetting the natural order of life and mankind and try to outlaw it? Would something like that even be possible to ban? It's a thought experiment I have often revisited.

It would go the way of any other drug: The first people with access to it will inevitably have some portion of them become addicted, mentally and physically dependent on the machine, and unable to feel normal without it. Some people that haven't tried it yet will be curious and their curiosity will get the best of them... others will see the potential danger and warn their children to stay away. There will be epidemics, and pockets of America will collapse. Of course, the government will step in because this is bad for progress and the economy, and the machine will become outright illegal to own, use, or sell. It will become a blackmarket product and junkies will download pdfs on how to build their own. In places with ineffective or absent governments, the machine, like any other highly-addictive drug, will destroy societies.

CJD transmission between bovines and humans is extremely rare and almost all cases of CDJ in people is classified as the sporadic type and is a result of biological defects in mutated proteins. CDJ is also not mad cow disease (BSE) but they are related and certain BSE is linked to a specific CDJ in humans.

We don't need to worry about the grey goo situation, because Entropy: nanobots can't do things as fast as we imagine because doing things creates heat, and even fairly robust nanobots would still fry themselves if they do things too quickly. We have seen this cap in microscopic self replicating machines that already exist. Microbes cells and any alive thing does what nanobots could do and they self replicate at a fairly managable rate, because they still expend energy to do it. So don't think of nanomachines causing grey goo, but more like the kudzu vine. sure it can take everything over, but we could manage it with like...shovels or pruning shears.

It is in fact the effects of plantar and solar changes to gravitational pull on the earth and solar positioning that cause both effects. Not that the small heating or cooling causes the eruption.
