When scientists are able to effectively create a system that has its own consciousness, it will begin learning, discovering, and improving on itself faster and faster until it reaches that singularity where all information is available, and no stones are left unturned.

We have yet to even produce a robot that is capable of reliably respond to limited voice commands. If a robot can't learn dialect and changes in speech pattern, it most certainly cannot learn the concept of death Matt

yeah..commands.the problem arises at precisely the point where commands are no longer a concern.

Like I said. Science doesn't really know for sure what consciousness and where it comes from. They assume it's produced by the brain and that they can produce it with a machine. These are not fact, but merely assumptions. In fact there is strong evidence that consciousness is actually independent of the brain thread here. So based on that evidence, for your scenario to happen they would have to reliably be able to direct a consciousness into a machine, they won't be able to generate one. There is no technology for that as far as I know. AI will just be AI and not consciousness.

Btw.. I've found an interesting article about transhumanism:
The most dangerous idea on earth?
According to Nick Bostrom, transhumanists believe “that the human species in its current form does not represent the end of our development but rather a comparatively early phase".

I came up with this drawing of a killing robot. I named it CT-36. It has laser weapons, radar, microwave focused gun, and 10,000 rounds of ammo ready to kill anyone in sight. let me know if you like it.
