this is precisely the problem. amoral computers wont care if they eliminate the human race. they will remove us for the same reason we cut down trees to build homes. We dont worry about killing all the trees, or killing all the bluefin tuna to suit our needs & wants. if we are using resources they need, they will cut us down & not think twice about it.

but this is only natural. the scientists think homo sapiens may have eliminated the neanderthals. However it was the neanderthals that birthed the homo sapiens, right? (unless it was God that made us?) so its not unreasonable that amachine intelligence is the next phase of intelligence evolution. only machines have the ability to explore deep space & acquire knowledge we lack. would be fun to see.
