Within those narrowly defined avenues, your choices can be predicted and directed with statistical accuracy. Seek cheese, avoid shock, conform to the group. Works well for most.

They can be programmed to select, from a number of options, the option that fulfills the prime directives humans have given them. And that process of selection is carried out according to patterns originally installed by humans.”

The successors of Skinner, Bernays, et al have nearly perfected the art of programming the mass mind. Substitute a couple of words in the statement above, and it is still valid:

“Most people don’t think. They never have, and they never will. They perform according to specs. They can be programmed to select, from a number of options, the option that fulfills the prime directives their programmers have given them. And that process of selection is carried out according to patterns originally installed by the rulers.”

The same types of decision-making and fuzzy logic that most people depend on can be simulated in software — with faster speed, better memory, and a vast and ever-expanding archive of reference material. While artificial intelligence may never exhibit genius level performance, it will certainly surpass the average human. Just ask the folks at Google.

I believe the Draco have a way of “jump starting” a passive connection into an active one. Technically they could rise corpses from the dead. However, the effect does not produce consciousness in the standard sense. A passive connection is muted and invariably makes a frozen active one (as far as I can gather, but there may be exceptions to the rule). The “zombie” concept or some other “remote control” is on the right lines.

Hope that helps 😉

You always bring us back from the bullsh-t. You always show us the middle road, in most cases, is where the truth is. Or, if truth is too strong an idea, at least you show us what is and is not workable. You remind me very much of my Dad, who died young(51), but was a very practical and centered man. Thank’s Jon and God bless.

I know there are detractors to this clever demonstration of the fallacy of machine consciousness, but IMHO they lack the simple elegance of the Chinese Room’s lone occupant, answering questions written in Chinese with the help of a good but voluminous set of rules. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room

“Drugs for psychiatric illnesses aren’t very effective. But new research is offering renewed hope for better medicines.” source

Every time I read a statement like this, I always remember your work… I can bet that counting 50 years from now the same statement will be write, simply because the drugs are the causative agents of the “psychiatric illnesses”!

About the Robots… In this present system of Oligarchy Centralized Capitalism robots will only create misery and famine! Nothing else…
