Have you guys seen the newest robots?

[Baruch]

You ignore that the AIs did as well.  Tomoorrow they will better.  And don't bother me with "gray goo".  I KNOW you were thinking of it...

AI is better than humans?  Only if humans are assholes.  AIs have no body, and robots, for practical reasons, don't have assholes.

No, I wasn't thinking of you having sexy times with nanites.

2050:  your personal drone follows you everywhere.  Checks your heath, psychology, and obedience...

China already does that, thru the Chinese Internet.  You get "red points" ... like "brownie points only communist" ... and you want to get a high score, otherwise the local commissar will be informed.  Chinese Facebook, with mandatory use, and likes tailored to communism.  I am sure y'all will love it, with fearless leader Chelsea Clinton as our one party Chairperson.

As Riker once said to Picard, "Captain, I plan to live forever".

Thanks to transporter accidents into caves on alien planets, he managed to replicate without sex.  The Star Fleet payroll department was pissed!  With that kind of thing happening, if you count all the transporter clones as him, then yes, he can live forever.  But as a series of disjointed lives.

Well, if there really is an "eternal return" I'll be back, so maybe I won't be dead quite forever.

Thanks, Mr Nietzsche.  Got superman?

AI uploads in 2030.  You never know.  Man it would really suck to be the last human to die...  Like that one last dead soldier in the Civil War.

I saw a program on WW I.  The last British soldier to die, died a few minutes before the cease fire ;-(

No, just your fake finances will be uploaded, Soros needs the money.

A team of MIT researchers have developed a printable origami robot that folds itself up from a flat sheet of plastic when heated and measures about a centimeter from front to back.
