I suppose that is a possibility but the big question is, why should we do it? What are the gains, for example? Should we do it just because we can do it?

The Turing test.

But the probelm is, I know that they aren't sentient beings.

I agree. And as you said, the player must have negative experiences & consequences if the virtual world would work similarily to our own. How do you think a true, self-aware AI would affect the gaming experience in an emotinoal level, by the way? Would it be harder for us, emotionally, to...

The keyphrase here being "I can think of". How do we know, what we, or some more advanced races, might achieve with genetic manipulation, for example?

I wonder if some intelligent race, somehwere in the universe, has already destroyed itself by creating an AI or a more superior biological entity.

I wonder if my little Gf4 Ti4200 will be able to handle HL2 or will it just give up and explode.

Absolutely, but what about a negative scenario? What if the player, who is immersed in a virtual real world, becomes numb to all the violence in that world that looks and works like the real world with the exception that there are no consequenses, and starts to act similiarily in the real world?

Hopefully yes, but I'm beginning to get some doubts.

:laugh:

Damn, that was som fast editing, dude :)

If they release the benchmark, I'll just probably run it constantly in a loop untill HL2 comes out :)

I'm already 1 hour into the 30th. Where's the goddamn benchmark?! :)

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. I like to play my games without subtitles or dubbing. Subtitles in the movies are ok on the other hand.

Good for you.

Heh, the French soldier taunting the English kinghts in "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" is one of the funniest movie scenes ever :) . You don't frighten us, English pig dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person! I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all...

That raises some interesting ethical questions: if they act like a normal human being and are sentient, do they have rights like normal human beings have? Would they eventually realise that they're in a videogame , would they consider us as their gods since we created them? Weird.

Copy/paste it.

Wouldn't want to run into that guy in a dark alleyway with out a shotgun :)

Where do I extract the sound?
