Re: Mind's Eye How man and the machines man created play the role of god.

Yes on the surface that looks easy enough but when you brake it down it starts to look a lot more complex.
 
Define Freind for a machine, define need, and define want.  What are these things what do they mean to a machine?
 
 
Also that seems like alterism to nth degree, is that the same as caring?  I care for my dad, I would not do much to help him out of any situtation though, not unless he expressly asked for my help.
 
Careing, prioritise, wants and needs all of thse things are subjective and bound to change from person to person, what does this mean for programing a machine?

The algorithm for caring should be a simple one. Prioritize the needs and the wants of your friends as you see fit and act on them in the best way you can to help them without putting yourself in a situation that you end up needing help yourself.  .

Can you not program a machine to care?
