HAHAHA the up and coming nerd boy was owned! You have alot to learn from master ian

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

Robin Williams in this one too? :P

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

it's a WILL SMITH movie too! Poor Peter. Looks good though. I'll see it.

iwz iwz

there's no trailer out for this yet, right? just that lame teaser with the song?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

No trailers yet. Just gag adverts. I think it's stupid, the trailers for that new flick the Stepford Wives has the same exact kinda gag advert thing going on. STILL both have good casts and good directors. So, I'll end up seeing both.

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

theyre making a new stepford wives movie?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Yeah. Nicole Kidman's one. Good cast. Check it out.

oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

don't they have the technology to make this, or something simular, in real life though?...what's goin on, where are all the androids futurists of the 50's promised us

dgiaimoOG 2003

No they don't. They're having difficulty making robots that can even be as intelligent as an insect. They're nowhere near simulating human-level intelligence.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

hmm..guess i have to brush up on my a.i. development research....i thought by now w/like, nano-circuitry & the increasingly smaller sizes of computer chips & stuff they'd be able to make a "brain" that'd power something at least semi intelligent & automated

dgiaimoOG 2003

Did you hear about the DARPA grand challenge? All the entries failed. They can't even get a computer to do a simple thing like drive a car.

malibu malibuOG 2001

well jehovah created something amazing. how could humans who can't even direct their own step equal one of jehovah's creations? just doesn't happen.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

haha, i never said EQUAL..but.the computer in itself is a modern marvel of technology, think about it, the machine you're sitting in front of right now, 50 years ago, it would take a 20x20 room to conatain it..& now, they have computers that can fit in your pocket...i know they'll never be able to make an artificial equal to humans - that's imposible..even if they could make a machine that could accomplish half the tasks a human could(they'd never be able to do that), how could one impart consciousnes to it?..it'd still be nothing more than inanimate objects interacting w/eachother to form computations...so...long story short, i agree w/you, lol

dgiaimoOG 2003

Interesting question, but then again how do we have consciousness? After all, we are nothing more than extremely sophisticated computers. There is no separate "soul" that makes us conscious.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

yeah, biological computers...if likened to a robot, i guess we're an extremely complex combination of inanimate objects(minerals, nutrients, etc.) making chemical reactions to form life..and if it were to stop there, we'd be nothing more than animals - but our consciousness is modled after god's - him making us in his image & all....so..voila...there's your difference

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ophelia

But our consciousness must be purely a consequence of our physical makeup, since there is nowhere else it could come from. That's actually one of the things I find so amazing. Somehow God invented a way of modelling a consciousness similar to his own using only materials from the physical universe.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 dgiaimo

yeah..that is an amazing thought..but..he made all the laws that govern our physical universe, so, bending it to meet his wants is really nothing to him...like...he invented time-space, and the matter that courses through it...things are only the way they are cause me made them that way...so, any enigma, or seemingly impossible notion(such as him being able to synthesize a higher consciousness, through phyiscal matter)is nothing more than childs play to him

iwz iwz dgiaimo

or, conversely, he designed the universe and physical materials in a way to perfectly befit beings made in his image.

a couple of awesome thoughts. never thought of it that way.
