What happens when machines die?
« on: April 22, 2004, 12:18:25 PM »
A fantastic article about self aware machines developed by systematicly damaging neural networks until they are dead.

>Machine Dies

Hello
In principle, a machine will NEVER die, because it is possible to replace spareparts. Even my old IBM PC (1981) still works, after CPU, chipset and RAM replacement.

In "Exploration" TV show, there is a prediction that within 50 years, there will be brain transplant on bionic, long lasting body (Cyborg/Android). Today there are several artificial body parts (legs, arms, heart etc).
In the future it is also possible to create replacement of body parts using advance cloning technology.

Yes, but you are slowly decommissioning it.  When you have replaced everything except the HD, you have effectively taken out the storage part of the brain and put it in something else.  If you then add a new HD, then you are copying the brain storage into a new machine.

Even if you kept the same CD drives you are only transplanting them onto the new machine.

We have a new PC - new case, mobo, ram, hd and gfx card.  We have the same sound card, hd (to boot from), cd-rw, cd-rom, and monitor.  To you, this would just be an upgrade, but to us it's a whole new machine with the best of the old grafted on :-)

/me stops talking about computers as if they were human :-P

What beats me about this is what such an alleged breakthrough in AI technology is doing reported on this site, instead of all the leading technology sites.

To me it's either a hoax, bull, hype or a mix of them all. Has anybody looked up any of the patents that are supposedly created by this thing?

-edit-

Anyway, answering the topic title, in my experience they often cough out a wisp of acrid blue smoke :-D
