Uh-oh, a robot just passed the self-awareness test

Can someone please unplug it? Like, now?

{
std::cout << "What is your question: ";
std::cin.ignore();std::cout << "I don't know\n";
std::cout << "Sorry, I know now!\n";std::cout << "All your base are belong to us!\n";
}What scares me, is when a sentient machine realizes that it can use genetic algorithms to reprogram itself and make itself faster, better, smarter... New human generations are created every 20 years, and it takes millions of years to evolve. A machine could evolve at a pace incomprehensible to us. Then let it clone itself and evolve in parallel. My only hope is that the machines evolve the greedy gene and compete against themselves more than the humans. While this research is valuable and AI should be developed. Reaching the singularity really is letting the demon out of the box.

I recently watched a TED talk on robotics where the speaker denoted that, if you remove all "reward systems" from his robots, they tend toward self-replication as their primary action. Just a little more to think about....

While this is not self-replication, if you leave a man and a woman in the same room with nothing to do, i.e. no reward system, I posit they would tend to reproduce... and even more to think about, or not.
