RE: Top 4 Ways Humans Might Go Extinct

in #life8 years ago

What about Aritficial Intelligence that creates a nano bot that spreads a global pandemic, and our only choice is to hit the nuclear button to destroy everything, in the hopes that we will be strong enough to survive. You know, the same nuclear philosophy we use when treating cancer patients with chemo.

Sort:  

Thats why I don't buy nuclear war would make us extinct. We are a resilient species and have been down to small numbers before. Some would survive. We adapt really well.

For extinction we would need the whole earth to become uninhabitable to a point so harsh we can't adapt or perhaps several concurrent serious events such as a nuclear war which causes a pandemic to break out.

haha nice point

Luckily I already made a story about AI a few days ago check it out since you talk about it, but you don't have to.

Interesting post. Computers that we program to talk together develop their own language, and we can't tell what they're talking about. Similar to parents when their kids are young having to spell things they don't want their kids to hear!

That's why there are low and high level programming languages. High level ones are easier to read for humans whereas low level ones are well not really readable /extremly enormously difficult

I was not aware of that. Thanks for sharing! Would computers still be able to "develop their own language" even if the original programming was done in either of the two levels?
