Do you think it will give us immortality or destroy the earth?
Also our generation may miss out on this immortality thing by being born a little bit early. Wouldn't that piss you off if you died 10 years before they worked it out. However it may also be a good thing because you might be enslaved by the AI and be slaves for all of eternity, which would probably suck.
I watched Deleted the other day after seeing a recommendation in the Netflix thread. Decent movie on the theme. Reminded me of -
Colossus The Forbin Project A Department of Defense supercomputer known as Colossus develops its own intelligence independent of the machine's programmers; starts sharing classified information with Guardian, its Soviet counterpart; and launches a plan for global domination. A frighteningly believable thriller that was ahead of its time in 1970, the movie stars Susan Clark, Eric Braeden, William Schallert and Georg Stanford Brown.
