Humans have a tendency to want to control everything in our environment. In our striving to achieve this, we tend jump without understanding the full ramifications of our actions. I am more suggesting that this opens potential for advances that we are not full ready for. The fact that the brain adapted to learn the simulator is what scares me. What other adaptations would take place that we might not anticipate?
How do you know that it is a neutral net? If they have no emotions is this much better? A machine with extremely complex and adaptive logic capable of mass destruction with no emotion or morality to stop it, doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. Emotion and morality are the only things that have kept the human race from wiping itself out.
