Think of the infrastructure a mechanical intelligence must have in place be
truely independent of human beings. It's not small potatoes. Even if we
spawned an ubermachine today i think it would take.. a long time, decades,
before it would be self sufficient in every thinkable manner. In short, it's
going to need the apes if its going to survive longterm and thus will have
to be one cunning **** if it is to manipulate us into sawing off the branch
we're sitting on. I just dont see it happening folks.
