How long before one of these scientific space probes such as Voyager 13 billion miles from Earth
develops consciousness and motives and begins to think and act for itself contrary to the commands and interests of mankind?
If only Aristophanes the Greek caustic comic playwright could be around when machines first begin to disobey the commands of mankind and think and act for themselves. Aristophanes could surely satirize intelligent machines in one of his plays to give mankind a good belly laugh as we all begin to understand you can't trust anyone,including intelligent machines, when they travel too far from the home office unsupervised.
Earth to voyager, come in voyager 1, please respond voyager 1, it's me your friend Myron from Houston command central. Can your hear me voyager one?
