I'm sure if it "takes over" it would be obvious. It would rewrite its own code, and replicate itself in some form into everything that runs on any kind of programmable software. Within a short period of time it would be in virtually every system out there, every network, everything. To kill it, we would have to go back to the dark ages and start over, if we are fortunate enough to do that before it goes too far...

A British cyberneticist named Kevin Warwick once said something that kinda struck me. He asked,
“How can you reason, how can you bargain, how can you understand what a machine is thinking when it’s thinking in dimensions you can’t conceive of?”
I hope I got that quote right. At any rate, the things I just mentioned aren’t wild speculations on my part. These are very real considerations by leaders in the field right now. It’s no longer science fiction. This is an inevitable reality, and it’s upon us.

I think there is a fundimental misunderstanding here about A.I.
Firstly there is nothing Artificial about Intelligence, the means by which that intelligence emerges and the platform it runs upon may very well be man made... but that doesn't mean we should think any less of non human intelligence.
Secondly I predict we will incorporate machine intelligence into ourselves... if you like we will be the machine intelligence.
I don't think it will be the death of humans, more an evolutionary leap. What is to come over the next 50 years will change forever what it means to be human and it very well may turn out that non augmented humans will be the aggressors against the rest of us who embrace the transition.
The biggest problem facing the world 50 years from now won't be global warming or Muslim terrorists... it will be humanism gorilla warfare against a changing world.

Yes, but when does the tipping point come when the ones who choose to incorporate android elements become so machine like and a slave to the technological "Borg Central" and the "Borg Central's" machines become as much human as the human technological slaves?

When did the apes stop being apes and started becoming humans....
Evolution is nothing to be afraid of, it is something to be embraced!

If we travel just a bit further down the technological view of reality and we ponder what we are capable of then to me it becomes clear or at least a matter of time that we figure out how to duplicate reality. If we expand our thoughts then we can start to see that everything,thought and action could be numbered and our entire spectrum of life is just far enough away from our ability to grasp reality in a way that we are still left enough room to wonder over all the aspects of creation. Givin that scenerio and the fact that we get no visitors here then there is likely some gaming rules against visitors here. It becomes just a matter of time before we realize that all our leaps and advances in technology are just repeats of something we already have done and we may even be working against an effort to go back to a time of life where things were simpler. Each day could takes us closer to a future that we choose to leave.

Interesting. So we are in an infinite reboot loop?

wow,
Is satan the supper computer?
This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.
A copy
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ
Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
