psychoceramics: [comp.lang.lisp] Oracle of Man

[John Aspinall <jga @ harlequin.com>]

Forwarded mostly without comment, although I must say that I'm looking
forward to a "Technological Life Form" that can key on large numbers
of breathless phrases ("disturbing and unnerving prediction", "a
compelling book", "raising controversy and arguments throughout the
world", etc.) and act as a bozon filter.

Whatever your Newsgroup interest may be,

The fact that you are using the Internet, means that you are part of the
greatest explosion of information technology (IT) in the history of mankind.
Computer developments are well documented but the future of artificial 
intelligence is limited only by our imagination.

Paul Phillips, owner of one of the largest IT companies in Australia,
has written a compelling book which is raising controversy and arguments
throughout the world. His disturbing and unnerving prediction is that we
are now close to a breakthrough in the race to give computers a conscious
intelligence. This will give them the ability to interface with human beings.
This giant leap forward brings the incredible possibility of being able to
"download" our whole psyche. This will include our personality, intelligence 
and knowledge transfering into Technological Life Forms" or "TLF's", to give
ourselves eternal life.
