CDDRodrigo Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Elephants can recognize themselves on the mirror, so yeah. Plus, they are big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muluck Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Very good topic idea, if I may say so myself. So to get this discussion really flowing let me state some opinions and ask a question. First, humans will never truly die out we have all the genetic abilities we need to mutate and adopt to our environment so even if in the future we may look different, we will still be related to humans. Second, if we learn to control our ignorance as a species, we have the ability to live for a very long time. For example, not persecuting innocent races because they seem weaker, or because we don't agree with their religion for allowing them to take our land. Third, Why no aliens?

Thar Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I say, based on the media, machines are the most possible outcome. Since we make them more intelligent to make life more convenient, eventually they will develop a conscience of their own and start building copies of themselves to overthrow the human race. ...and if [i]anyone[/i] says 'the Matrix' I will burn your soul with Darkfire. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 THE MATRIX W00T But, in all seriousness, machines are quite a possibility. Apparently they've started making robots that are gonna try to get PHDs. I can just see that being all over the news when it happens. When it does.... Hide yo kids. We gotz smart robots on da loose.

Jolta Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I wonder if one day, Robots will be truly sentient. Installed with feelings, emotions and such. Maybe they can co-exist peacefully with us, and we can go extinct peacefully while they live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robots could become infinitely complex, but could never have true emotions, just simulations of them. Anyway, the reason animals are usually considered non-sentient is that humans are A LOT more advanced than most other animals. So in a way, our perception of sentience is relative.

WTFauKorean Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 everyone is thinking animals but If you really think about it the next sentient species is the machine we would probably get and archive of personality and put it into bots you can already do that with personality profiles of facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
