Do we have a general definition for "alive" we are adhering to here? |

Whenever it is concious is when it would be close to "alive". Once computers are aware of their own existence, we are doomed. What if they don't like us? |

I wasn't aware that bacteria was conscious. |

I dont understand the definition of "alive" we are using here. |

Anything that can store, retrieve, and use information is alive. |

Interesting, but has nothing to do with what I said. |
|
Actually, it can. It retrieves data every time it is requested to do so, and passes that data back on the cable that comes out of it. It also utilizes data, otherwise it wouldn't know how to interpret the requests. |

No it doesn't, it stores it, the rest of the computer retrieves from it and utilizes it. |

LD's: ~11 DILD since the 10th March 2008
Aspirations:
Fly [X]
Teleport [X]
Supersprinting [ ]
Interesting meeting with a female DC [X]
Successfully teleport to my old house and staying there for a while [ ]
Hmm... SmarterChild (AIM bot) is alive! It can talk to me, show emoticons, ask me things such as what they mean, etc. I suppose if someone put a chess feature into smarterchild it would be alive, then! |

No, that is not my list of conditions. |

Artificial intelligence is still intelligence. i.e. SmarterChild can learn and is alive. Computers in general can learn. Also, are you saying my pet dog, which depends on me, is not alive? If I leave it alone in the house it will die. Furthermore, computers (smarterchild) can live on its own. Give it a non-human dependent power source (wind/solar) and leave it be. |
