The collapse of the global financial system would completely retard the advancement of those kind of technologies, I think.

Yes, I can't think of the name but there is a theory in which the rate of which technology is increasing grows faster and faster until a point in which we can not predict the consequences or effects of the technology. We are on the precipice of this point. There is a very good chance that when we reach this point the end of civilization will follow closely after.
Have a good Easter.

Pretty much every generation thinks this.

It'll be the tech forcing the financial collapse. Robots don't kill us. They just take our jobs and we do the killing for them.

No. The event for that in this era was in the 90s, before the upswing of the Internet and the concept of a world of knowledge at your metaphorical fingertips.
What you describe is evolutionary in nature from that, and in the bigger picture not that much more revolutionary than the originsl Iphone allowing people to walk around with a computer in their pocket connected to the internet.

My point is more of: if we frick ourselves over, we will never have robots.

I'm aware, my perspective is I think we keep the Band-Aids working until the robots ruin us.
Point is I'm optimistic.

I'm categorically certain that we will be fully controlled by AI vessels one day in the not-distant future. As such, I've already placed my order for call bourbon, cigars, and designer opioids. Is there an issue here?

Why would people want to live forever? I was watching a documentary about how we could basically capture and store our soul/spirit/persona in digital firm in perpetuity and they considered the possibility of a couple who had been together for 500 years and wanting a break from each other. It sounds comical but they were looking at it from a deeper ramifications

FIFY.
No. While it is the destiny of the human species to give rise to an artificial life form, that time is still decades away. Only when AI can begin to design and develop itself will the end of humanity as the dominant species draw nigh.

Yes, we were talking about telephones where you could actually SEE who you were talking to... in 1988.

If 100 monkeys say there is only the one conscious light does everyone feel it?
Computers are favored by a TD.
I'm betting on the 7th generation. One with the all.

Get that kabbalistic shite out of here.

I think we’re already in it and have been for a while.
People at the turn of the 20th century(1900 did I say that right?) had more in common with people who lived 2000 years before them than they have with us. Traveling across the world was still nearly an impossible task. The horse was still the main mode of transportation as it had been for thousands of years and almost no one had electricity. Now, even the poorest people on the planet have smart phones that can communicate and get news from anywhere on earth at a moment’s notice. Anyone can hop on a plane and be anywhere on the planet within 24 hours. I can find almost any historical fact or piece of knowledge I want within seconds. Life expectancy has almost doubled. It’s amazing.

We are already in the beginning of that age. In my lifetime I've gone from seeing a call from La. to a rig in the Indian Ocean taking 21 hours to being just like calling next door and processor power increase by an obscene amount. Today's smart watches contain exponentially more processing power than the computer used to send us to the Moon.
We're at the point now where technology that was purely the world of sci-fi back in the 80's and 90's is science fact now. As communication quickens and technology becomes more powerful, those changes come even faster. The things available to us in 20-30 years will stagger the imagination but will be nothing compared to the 20-30 years after that, and so on.

AI is electronic and will have no soul. When it becomes self-aware, it will kill us all.
We have been warned but we are so arrogant as a species we think we are the end all, be all. We will pay for our arrogance.

We are not even close to a real AI. The term AI is being used today is completely out of place. All of these "AI" devices are just hardware doing exactly what it was programmed to do. It takes input and solves, there is no deviation from the programming. Nothing is even close to thinking for itself, we will need a major breakthrough for that.
