Evolutionary roboticists have decided to begin teaching artificial intelligence powered robots to evolve and reproduce. Why should humans go to the trouble of building more robots when a robot could do it instead?
According to Futurism, this is known as high-tech Darwinism. The researchers’ ultimate goal is to design artificial intelligence and robots that can analyze their own source code and mate with others by combining bits and pieces of their code with that of other robots. This would to create “offspring,” much like organic life, Futurism reported. But it isn’t actually anything like organic life, actually. But evolutionary roboticists who have this new goal have high-tech Darwinism to the extreme. Apparently, just like biological life evolves to fill ecological niches, these robots’ offspring might be better adapted to their environments that their architects specifically built them for.
An interesting future awaits once high-tech Darwinism becomes successful. And Wired reported that some scientists are well on their way to making this technology a reality.
Computer scientists at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam built a simplified system that shows how future robots might swap and combine their “genetic” information.
Their recent research, published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence and which involved programming two parent robots to code a new “offspring,” found that the resulting offspring contain a mixture of the parents’ code as well as some modules that seemed to have mutated or been blended on its own. –Futurism
David Howard, one of the scientists on the project, told Wired that there’s a positive spin to all of this. “It gives you a lot of diversity, and it gives you the power to explore areas of a design space that you wouldn’t normally go into.” But others see this as a way to permanently force human beings into extinction. “One of the things that makes natural evolution powerful is the idea that it can really specialize a creature to an environment,” Howard told Wired.
But natural evolution doesn’t sound anything like robot evolution. Humans are making themselves obsolete and our two cents is that this will not end well for humanity.
I don’t want to be around 50 years or so from now. Robotics will dominate our economy, workforce, and society. People will be relegated to uselessness.
In the meantime we keep letting cheap illegal labor flood in and they will be the first to be replaced with automation. Maybe they will go back to where they came from but I wouldn’t count on it.
At any rate there are bad times ahead, much worse then today.
yep, we are pretty much relegating our role in earth history to biological “boot loader” for the next dominant species.
GOOD NEWS! Missouri Senate Bans All Federal Gun Control Laws in Proposed Bill! All states need this!

Jesus will return and put an end to it. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has passed and the new has come (2 Cor. 5:17). The safety is to be spiritually reborn by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. Call upon Him!
Anyone that cannot see where this is going is truly blind. All the movies on Skynet will become a reality. A machine can easily reason that useless eaters are in infestation & need to be eliminated. Just where do the machines need humans ? Hopefully I will be long gone when this happens. I just can’t believe that these intelegent folks have not seen the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train…..
I wonder if they will have robortion to terminate their offspring?
How in world is Mechanical Mikey gonna pop out?
Suppose it rains and that critter gets welded shut?
What ya gonna do?
What you gonna say?
What ya gonna tell’em?
Your just pissin’ up a rope!
These scientists never stop and ask themselves if they should do something. As soon as they can do something, they are in hip deep instantly. I like RT’s comment about the light at the end of the tunnel being a train coming. And we all are standing on the tracks.
Yeah, this can only lead to good things,right?
forget the black rifle, we’ll need something to fire a directed EMP, in full auto!
I prefer the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
seriously, your new overlords arent going to let you have access to anything they dont provide.
Use your brain and make an EMP, it’s not that difficult, it can be done. Here’s a question for TPTB, what’s going to prohibit the robots from determining TPTB are “useless eaters”? Better think long and well before jumping.
Yep, and a real nightmare would be something monstrous that is not only autonomous, but armored and EMP hardened.
Remember the Unibomber?
He was a guy with an IQ 168. He sent bombs to tech people in order to awaken the public to the dangers of technological applications. While his methods may have been obscene, his message is rational and echoes the same fears as many others.
I have often wondered if the Unibamber was a creation by globalists. That the person of Ted Kaczynski never really existed; and that he was essential to the globalists’ program. Any scientist or any person of importance who questions the international technology that enslaves us could have been silenced simply by threatening to arrest him as a terrorist mail bomber.
Regardless whether or not the Unibomber was a real person or just a CIA invention, the Unibomber was proven right. Technology although a modern miracle, is also proving to be a form of imprisonment by surveillance. Robots and AI add more grease to the beast system.
.
Actually, you’re right about the Unabomber being a CIA creation. When he went to Harvard he was recruited into the MKUltra mind control program…although, at the time, it was presented as something different to get participants.
Well, there goes the whole porn industry. Hard to believe Playboy is going to be replaced by Popular Mechanics; but, … sure looks like it will be.
SO it starts!
The above post recognize and rightly so that in the future (sooner rather than later)
That humans will be come obsolete.
Well lets follow this to its obvious conclusion – The elite globalist ( no secret) want to reduce Humanity by 95%
They understand that in the near future we will no longer be required and will only be a drain on limited resources and contribute to Climate change.
So – The only question is how they will get rid of us. It will not be nuclear – that will ruin the planet – world economic collapse – EMP – a well managed biological pandemic or some of all the above – you pick it
It appears the elites believe they can control these reproducing robots. I would like to be around when the robots decide they don’t need the elites and hunt them down like the dogs they are.
Funny and true.

DO YOU TRUST THIS COMPUTER? Insight Excerpt below…
The point is not to stop killer robots on the street.It’s to prevent them from happening.If they’re here,then it’s already too late. :- Elon Musk
Autonomous weapons are being called the third wave of warfare after gun powder and nuclear weapons.This open letter should be enough to address the elephant in the room.
AI does not need to be evil to destroy humanity. If AI has a goal and if humanity happens to be in its way,it will destroy humanity without even thinking about it,no hard feelings. Like while building a road and an ant hill happens to be in the way, we don’t hate ants,we’re just building a road so goodbye anthill. :- Elon Musk
Machines are natural psychopaths. :- Jerry Kaplan
Artificial Super Intelligence would be by far our most powerful invention and probably the last invention we would ever need. :- Max Tegmark
Michal Kosinski of Stanford University is right when he points out that even people who create AI don’t actually fully understand it because it has millions of elements and it is impossible for a human brain to make sense of everything that’s happening. Just like nobody could forsee Tay going rogue.
If it appears to my fellow reader that all this won’t go down until say the next century or so,think again.We already have data and analytics powerful enough to cause political, economical and societal breakdowns, Brexit and 2016 US Elections to name a few allegedly caused by Cambridge Analytica. Menace of fake news still remains and it has virtually become impossible to distinguish what’s true and what is not.
AI can be a immortal dictator from whom there is no escape or can neither be assassinated.We can’t possibly pull the plug on a distributed system that is absolutely everywhere. It’s like we’ve opened the infamous Pandora’s box and the least scary future as Musk put it would be democratization of AI so that no company takes over the world.
If it’s gonna take 20 years to figure out how to keep AI beneficial,then we should start today. :-Max Tegmark
Great post – Thanks
They are working on a biological AI brain.
This is without a doubt the beginning of the end.
All inventions are a double edge sword – AI I am afraid will only cut one way
And to think that in 1814, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (age 19) foresaw it all. Not precisely, of course; but still….. remarkably prescient.

” Humans are making themselves obsolete and our two cents is that this will not end well for humanity”.
Begs the question, in what context are humans becoming obsolete?
If you are talking about a modern technological society, most humans are already obsolete. Modern technology requires skill sets and intelligence that quite frankly most people don’t possess or could possibly learn. I give you the example of Venezuela. The lower classes made political choices that destroyed what should be one of the richest societies. An intelligent person would know what to do prevent such a catastrophe, but due to our humanity don’t take the necessary actions to protect ourselves. AI would not have such a Firewall. It would not end well for Democrats and many Republicans, but I think humanity would benefit greatly, those deemed logical to keep around would survive. That is also called natural selection.
Don’t these people watch movies???
All of this technology peddling is to cover up the end game. The end game is the chip in the hand or forehead.
Planet of the Apes will now be replaced by Planet of the AI
I got a communication from DJ E-V last week inviting me out to video shoot to do
this new single. Unfortunately I was in Dallas and unable to attend.
That was one time I really wished I WAS at home,
because I knew this would be a classic Cleveland gathering.
DJ E-V has really developed in a relatively short amount of your time.
But it hasn’t been easy – there was a lot perform put into building his brand, and also a credit to his relentless work ethic and savvy business acumen. And today, he releases the official 1st
single to his highly anticipated “BIFC” part 3 (B*tch I’m From Cleveland) mixtape
series. If you can is entitled “Ratchet” and features Cleveland rappers MGK,
Ray Jr., Dub-O, Tezo, & Pooh Gutta, with production by Cleveland producer JP Did This one specific.
Jeff – Stevie Wonder was capacity my favorite ones. He was probably one of the down to earth celebrities that That i
have ever met and he is the best accomplished famous them.
I was inspired by his humility and how polite he was and music just flows through him from start to finish.
He was always playing music, we all met him he stood a keyboard in any way times,
he’d a harmonica and hangover remedy vibes his music always and I
was quite inspired by Stevie Wonder.
According to DreX the particular Morning on 103.5 918kiss member login, the Chicagoland radio DJ noted that Web in order

2 eggs, 2 meats, hb, toast and occasional. Yes you got that right
$4! Open M- F 8 have always been! So there ya go.
There tend to be so many Super Bowl parties taking place I don’t need near the
room to quickly go over them all. So my advice is, just
pay a visit to them each of! Make a day of it! Identify that was easy.
That’s it for now. Remember can easily all retain the local
scene, just pay a visit to something around. At least that’s what I ponder. http://www.personal-defi.biz/xampp/phpinfo.php?a%5B%5D=%3Ca+href%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.ts-coach.com%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Faction%3Dprofile%3Bu%3D502162%3Escr888+v4%3C%2Fa%3E
