Not sure that will automatically mean Skynet, an AI super computer might not even be able to perceive us or even care we exist. We always think of this things in a humanistic way, where we are always the most important variable.
To me AI would be like an alien species, if it doesn't already exist it will probably happen one day but the only thing I'm pretty sure about is we aren't so goddamn interesting that they are going to develop the technology to come look at us or give a damn. Everyone from the religious folks to the scientific folks all seem to have one thing in common, they think we are so damn interesting we are the most important thing in the universe and we are either gods special creation or ET came and helped us build pyramids.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
