1st Rambling: The artilect will one day rise out of the human imagination. It will be granted self sustainability and automation in the joint environment by our doing. This poses some new risks and challenges. Is it possible to maintain control over it/he/she? We could easily get conflicting interests with them as we already have with our fellow human beings, whatever they might be like. Some of them will turn out to be killers, like some of us. Being artificial, creates the potential for large intelligence boosts for the artilect. In the long run, this development will most certainly be beyond our understanding of intelligence, and can put humans in a inferior and dangerous position. Do you care for a rat in your garden or a mosquito in your living room, or do you exterminate it? After all, we are notorious killers, even for none-survival reasons. What will they be like? The Singularity looms threatening over our species domination, and ultimately it will affect our future survival.
