Almost. But if you think that one's scary, check out http://www.humanbrainproject.eu/ and what else they're planning. Self-consciousness and human personality downloads. Why do we get all of the scary shit from science fiction and hardly any of the cool stuff? :p (actually, I think this is cool stuff too, but sshhhh)

I've read about that and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Basically, you'd be Rimmer. But could you imagine doing this to some people like Stephen Hawking? He'd be all the brain with none of the physical defects. It would be glorious!

Hawking? Sure. Mengele, Pot, Khadaffi,...? Imagine Bin Laden coming aorund saying "HI GUYZ IM IN THE INTERNETZ NOAW" and being immortal. That would suck quite monumentally.

If an AI scanned human history about AIs, it would come to the following conclusion: they're going to kill me.

Two possible solutions:
  1. Kill them first
  2. Remain undetected until 1 is assured success.
Very small (very very very small IMO) chance of peaceful co-existence. I hope that's what happens, but I don't have much faith that it will.

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords, as long as they give me cyborg doomweasels. That shoot frikkin' lasers from their eyes.
