[extropy-chat] IQ vs Uploads (was: what to do)

[giorgio gaviraghi]

in the worst case scenario they would not be friendly
they are smarter every generation, 18 months between,
more.
they have individual free will, they are billion times
smarter .
Why should they be submitted to an intellectually
inferior species?
That never happened in history
superior technologicaly societies always exterminate
the inferior ones
america is a good example
and let's make another example
what you think may happen if we are "discovered" by a
superior alien civilization?
they would certainly not obey us
they may let us go along if we don't interfere with
their goals
if we do
then we don't have many chances
independent super intelligent AIs may behave in the
same way
