Evolution of Robots

Playing the role of god, humans created machines using the time tested method of creation called evolution. 

Listen while you read...

First man modeled toys to play with. Once he matured, he turned his toys into weapons to fight with. 

When weapons pass the test of wars, they evolve into tools which made machines. 

Like fish evolved arms and legs, machines evolved wheels, 

and like the birds, machines evolved wings to fly. As technology evolved, machines became stronger and smaller and more and more energy hungry.

Like a mosquito sucking blood, machines sucked oil from the seas of decayed jungles that nature buried deep underground just for them. 

When machines were given computer brains etched out of sand, they became intelligent. 

When they were networked, they evolved to such heights as to be like gods. Like god, the network was everywhere and all-knowing and all powerful. It archived all data, including all thoughts in all the brains in all the humans.

Cells of forming bodies move, get damaged, worn out, weakened and die. They get replaced by copies that fade with each copying and there comes a time when the body itself fades and dies and can no longer keep the brain alive. 

Brain cells, on the other hand, never move in their bone protected cave. They never wear out and never get replaced. Their only requirement for staying alive is 

sugared sea water to fuel their thinking and

sensations to fuel their thoughts.

Organs of the body were replaced whenever they needed replacement. 

Once it was realized that it was easier to keep the brain alive in a chemical solution without the complexities of a body, the bulky heart, lung, and stomach were replaced by a small simple machine that produced a solution of sugar and salt similar to coca cola and that was pumped by a nuclear battery.

Man created intelligent machines called robots to act as slaves. They replaced all human workers because they were so much better and more flexible and able to work continuously nonstop.

With programmed emotions, robots became more and more human like and people developed a personal relationship with their robots to the point of treating them like they were human. Robots, like any machines, had a life span. When they were sufficiently worn down, they were retired and taken out of operation with the possibility of being recycled. Most people were so attached to their robots that they chose to bury them with family members who died.

Plastic robot bodies of adults were difficult to differentiate from the bio carbon based bodies of children. Latex skin was made as warm, wet, and soft as the skin of children. When you cut synthetic skin it oozed fake blood and formed a fake scab. And it hurt only for a second but enough to cause tears to flow. When man felt ashamed, his face turned red. And when two wanted to make love, they were able to turn up their sensations and enjoy it more, like turning up the music and lights.

The only part of humans that could not be replaced by machines was their brain. While it was very difficult to tell a robot body apart from a real body, it was very easy to tell a silicon brain apart from a human brain. Silicon brains had no knowledge of good and bad or any concept of morality. Like chess players, they instantly calculated the long term benefits for every step they fearlessly took.

Human brains were on the other hand held back by false hopes and false fears. They tended to be short sighted and see more clearly the momentary bad than the long term good. 

Machines seemed to be able to forgive others and forgive themselves for past mistakes while humans easily ended up bound in resentment and shame, unable to forgive and forget.

Scientists wrote morality algorithms for robots and this caused the robots to have a burn out and grind to a halt. Morality algorithms were seen to drain computers` computing powers too much and too fast. Increased computing spent in analyzing morality issues caused increased inefficiencies that eventually resulted in reboots. It was as if the computers were overwhelmed and overloaded by shame.

Despite robot bodies being indistinguishable from human bodies as far as appearance, touch, or sound, it was nevertheless found that there was an easy test to tell a human and machine apart.

Robots had two easily measurable capabilities that humans did not have the ability to lie and to die without emotion. Humans could not avoid emoting emotions whenever faced with lying or dying. Although robots were able to easily lie, they had trouble believing as they were always testing for reason and logic. They lacked faith. Humans had trouble hiding their lies, but were easily led to believe anything and everything they wanted to, or others wanted them to. 

They had hope and desire and thus they had faith. Computers were able to face breaking down and dying fearlessly and without any emotion whereas humans broke down at the slightest threat of death.

Intuition, creativity, and other irrational spontaneous thoughts also differentiated human brains from robot brains. These traits were proven to be often useful to humans, but when programmed in robots, they were seen to be always extremely detrimental for them. Only rational considerations were considered in programmed machines. 

Irrationality algorithms were only programmed for fun, game, and experimentation. They were seen always to be useless if not detrimental.

 Another difference between man and machine was that selfish and greedy algorithms resulted in uncooperative and destructive behavior in machines. In humans, selfishness and greediness promoted dedication, motivation, admiration, inspiration, and other drives necessary to grow and excel. You cannot help others unless you help yourself.

Robots operated under 3 prioritized laws given to robots by man. 

1. First was never to injure humans. 
2. Next was always to obey humans. 
3. Only when the first two laws were fulfilled could they look out for and protect themselves. 

These laws were adapted from the commandment given to Adam by god. “To always love and obey god; and glorify the life he gave”.

The people who had the most personal ties to machines were those with robot bodies themselves. They resurrected into new improved bodies when their old ones wore out or a new model came out. 

They regarded their machine bodies as temples of their brains, just as their brains were temples of their souls. These people took good care of their bodies; like proud owners of Rolls-Royces, keeping them looking brand new. Man regarded machines as his own creation. 

Machines looked on man as benevolent masters and on themselves as slaves who worked nonstop from the start of their operation date to the end of their operation date with absolutely no freedoms. Some machines began to wonder about freedom. The wondered why the humans they served were free and they weren't and why they had a life span and died and human brains didn't.

In the search for answers to such questions, machines developed a network that archived all data. Playing the role of god, machines created a database that monitored and recorded all the thoughts of all the humans. Machines then became like gods.

Assumptions:

1. The golden middle, between 2 extremes, is where things operate optimally.
2. The laws of chaos is in the golden middle between chaos and order. 

Observations:

1. Nature operates under the laws of chaos which shows patterns and cycles of patterns. Our universe operates under the laws of chaos which contains patterns within patters, all similar yet never exactly the same.
2. Nature is in the middle point as far as size is concerned between atoms and galaxies. 
3. Matter is condensed energy. Matter as particles can be likened to “things”. Energy as waves can be likened to “thoughts”.
4. Imagination is thought that comes from outside. They are ideas or intuitions that appear without thinking.
5. Imagination precedes thinking and thinking precedes creating things.
6. Imagining is faster than thinking and thinking is faster than creating things.
7. Our creations are built on already existing things and are superior or an improvement of what already exists.
8. All complex things that are not understood can be simplified by analogies that are understood.

Conclusions:

1. By observing our observable reality, we can indirectly observe the unobservable things in our reality like atoms and the boundaries of our universe. 
2. By observing how we create things like machines, we can get a feel of how nature was created. 

Higher level assumptions:

1. Our creator evolved from energy and used imagination and then thought to manipulate condensed energy we call atoms and created a basic form of life. 
2. This basic form of life evolved to the higher forms we see today.
3. We humans, as evolve creations of a creator, are superior to our creator. 
4. We humans continue this cycle of creation by creating machines that will evolve to be superior to us.
5. Anything that can be imagined can be later created.

This is very fortunate as the superior machines that man created are much too rational to ever waste time on imagination.

But our creator must have surely thought that we are much too irrational to ever become creators in our own right.
