Yer stereotypical objective being would see it as a waste of effort for no appaent gain. 01:14:32 Humans know different though... 01:14:36 companionship? 01:15:16 your stereotypical objective being would exterminate humans and replace them by more efficient robots 01:16:02 bsmntbombdood: yeah, but don't other humans give that? 01:16:09 no 01:16:13 pets never bitch at you 01:16:15 oerjan: I was looking for a more sensible answer. 01:16:29 have i ever been known to be sensible? 01:16:35 sigh 01:17:23 there is probably less effort with a pet than with humans 01:17:39 yeah 01:17:48 food and a place to sleep and a pet is happy 01:18:07 hmm, yeah 01:19:17 to live with a human, it has to like you 01:20:36 Same for animals I would have thought. 01:21:10 Ah, but there are plenty of species that are more friendly than humans. 01:21:16 individually, at least. 01:21:53 yeah 01:22:08 animals are less complicated 01:22:18 a dog is going to like you even if no chick will give you a chance 01:22:31 unless your a total fuckhead 01:22:57 yeah, ok 01:25:23 The question came up because I was wondering why something of superhuman intelligence would keep humans as pets. 01:26:28 you writing an sf story? 01:28:06 not exactly 01:28:14 ... 01:28:42 hm... would a superintelligent being be able to make humans enjoy being its pets? 01:28:56 depends on the definition of "pet" 01:29:00 and on the humans 01:29:17 i suppose so, since humans worship gods 01:30:04 for that matter, maybe we already are pets 01:30:16 ... If you look after them, give them the correct environment (including other humans of course) and work that they enjoy, they will be perfectly happy. 01:30:36 plus insome ways you will understand them better than any humans can 01:30:59 http://fof.durge.org/~sc/Kigdatsi/ 01:31:04 perhaps there is an unending chain of pet-owner relationships 01:31:07 nah 01:31:33 I have been inconsistant over the years, but the above is a collection of things I have written. 01:32:28 the messages to and from "Fonori" under "written_cwi" are the most important recent conversation, though they are about a specific scenario. 01:32:33 i suppose the possibility of that would depend on whether there is an unending progression of possible levels of intelligence 01:32:39 yes 02:40:17 -!- SimonRC has changed nick to CRnomiS. 02:40:26 -!- CRnomiS has changed nick to SimonRC. 03:01:56 -!- calamari has joined. 04:04:02 -!- oerjan has quit ("leaving"). 05:16:53 -!- ShadowHntr has quit ("End of line."). 05:26:45 -!- Stark has joined. 05:28:14 -!- Stark has changed nick to Starked. 05:28:53 -!- Starked has left (?). 05:29:05 -!- Starked has joined. 05:38:10 -!- Starked has quit ("Chatzilla 0.9.77 [Firefox 1.5.0.9/2006120612]"). 05:54:52 -!- digital_me has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 06:11:23 -!- calamari has quit ("Leaving"). 06:33:24 -!- anonfunc has joined. 07:25:28 -!- Sgeo has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)). 07:29:45 -!- RodgerTheGreat has quit. 07:59:59 -!- clog has quit (ended). 08:00:00 -!- clog has joined. 13:22:25 -!- helios24 has joined. 13:29:49 -!- helios24 has quit ("Leaving"). 13:39:05 -!- helios24 has joined. 13:47:31 -!- helios24 has quit (Remote closed the connection). 13:48:28 -!- helios24 has joined. 13:50:09 -!- helios24 has quit (Client Quit). 15:11:28 -!- helios24 has joined. 15:37:56 -!- ShadowHntr has joined. 16:01:43 -!- anonfunc has quit. 16:24:46 -!- tgwizard has joined. 16:24:46 -!- RodgerTheGreat has joined. 16:24:46 -!- jix has joined. 16:34:51 -!- nazgjunk has joined. 17:22:15 -!- crathman has joined. 17:37:02 * SimonRC is going to meet Kevin Warwick. 17:50:07 kewho. 17:51:18 RTFW 17:53:51 tfwhat 17:57:06 Wikipedia 17:57:14 oh pf. 18:00:10 i'm not reading that! 18:03:32 -!- oerjan has joined. 18:07:28 -!- tgwizard has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 18:07:56 -!- sebbu has joined. 18:08:34 hi everybody 18:08:48 hi 18:09:25 hy 18:15:44 hi 18:19:32 -!- UpTheDownstair has joined. 18:36:37 -!- nazgjunk has quit (Success). 18:44:22 -!- crathman has quit ("Chatzilla 0.9.77 [Firefox 2.0.0.1/2006120418]"). 18:45:41 -!- FabioNET has joined. 19:11:29 -!- UpTheDownstair has quit (Success). 19:11:33 -!- nazgjunk has joined. 19:18:52 -!- flagitious has joined. 20:37:15 -!- crathman has joined. 20:55:51 -!- FabioNET has quit ("A domani..."). 21:02:14 -!- sebbu2 has joined. 21:10:07 -!- helios24 has quit ("Leaving"). 21:17:03 -!- jix has quit ("Bitte waehlen Sie eine Beerdigungnachricht"). 21:20:37 -!- sebbu has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 21:27:54 -!- FabioNET has joined. 21:49:48 -!- anonfunc has joined. 21:52:28 -!- anonfunc has quit (Client Quit). 22:13:34 -!- nazgjunk has quit ("Bi-la Kaifa"). 22:55:55 -!- FabioNET has quit ("A domani..."). 22:57:59 -!- NK\_ has quit (Remote closed the connection). 22:58:01 -!- NK\ has joined. 23:33:16 -!- sebbu2 has quit ("@+"). 23:36:03 -!- crathman has quit ("Chatzilla 0.9.77 [Firefox 2.0.0.1/2006120418]"). 23:55:35 -!- anonfunc has joined.
