You know what I mean though? Something alive has to be as stupid as we are as babies, and grow and learn at the same speed. There must be roadblocks in the way. Something written in the code to help it develop as a human. The coder would have to know the difference between entering commands that allow for free will thinking, instead of helping the thing arrive at answers. The machine would simple have coded within it the same cognitive features that humans have. The thing might even go insane like humans do. Or understand it is one of a kind being, unlike humans, and need real Freudian therapy. I don't see why a living being that knows it is going to die is not going to experience anger, either. It should feel anger. And we think of heavily armored killing machines when we think of advanced robots. But no. This thing can throw tantrums, and flip out as an adult, in a regular human like body with no extra special metal skeleton. It's not a war machine. It's an experiment in life. Watching how something we built might believe in the Easter bunny as a child. Or become interested in religion or politics. Business. Or maybe it just becomes a bus driver. It should feel ordinary. It should fit in. It should look 100% authentically human, in fact. Another big thing I don't forget are things like hunger. And sick and disease. A human feels hunger. It cries for food. It gets sick, and congested, which effects breathing. Sore throat. Fever. Vomiting. All things must be included and thought of. This machine is seceptable to cancer. STDs. Blood food water airbourne diseases. It can really get hit by a bus walking down the street and die if it isn't being mindful. And that is the key word. Mindful. Thoughtful. With cares. With goals. It must sleep, to dream. And to sleep and dream with a human mind is something this being must be capable of.

this was a genuinely interesting read, i totally agree with the shit you said. seriously, i was actually shocked at how i related to some of the examples you presented and im kinda thinking about it a lot more.
The trouble with a person like me is I'm trapped on Planet Money, where anything great yet to be accomplished would take billions of dollars to achieve. Just think of how easy it was to strike it rich in human history, for an invention, up until now. Now we all have to be rich geniuses just to take the next step. There was a time a man could stand on the shoulders of giants, and think up something like sliced bread. And now, what's really left for a common man to figure out and patent, and market? We basically can't. The only impressive thing left is space exploration. Or a time machine. Like I said. Rich geniuses.
You were born in 1986 but still act like you're 12? That's a big yikes my man.

Good thoughts. You should write a novel about your idea or something. I'd read it.
