    Yes, although it turns out that that "conversation" was "edited for readability" and was actually cut and pasted from several different conversations to make it look more coherent... The machine didn't say those words exactly and not in that order. The engineer changed the word choice and structure.

    In other words, that conversation with the AI didn't actually happen.

    Could it happen in the future? Probably. Will we believe it when it does happen? Probably not at first.

    This was my understanding as well. Still interesting though, afterall maybe our future in space will be at the hands of intelligent robots that we create, the evolution of that, would then be robots being able to build/create future robots, how that will fit into the evolution of humans would be open to so many theories. Afterall robots travelling across space at great speed, has to be more feasible than humans. Star Trek but manned by robots with pointy ears.

    I've always found it amusing that all these star trek like shows have these interstellar vessels full of huge crews of people. It's going to be computers controlling the ships and exploring, not people... .maybe a few observers along for the ride.

    Also, four hundred years from now we won't have cameras or video cameras anymore. No one ever thinks to put a go pro on captain Kirk's head so the people back in the ship knows what's going on. They have to communicate all their findings by radio.

    I should have posted a tweet I saw yesterday, don't know if I would find it now, but it was drone that accelerated at some ridiculous speed, not sure if it was fake or not, probably. I do think though that is probably going to be the way forward is through robots and accelerating them at great speed across the universe. It don't really help humans, but knowledge is wealth and it would give us a better idea of if there is anything out there, but obviously to do that, it would also be the challenge of getting communications across space quicker, although that might be an easier challenge to solve.

    If I have a relative whose voice I want Alexa to immatate but that relative isn't dead yet, do I need to kill them first? What if I kill my relative and it still doesn't work?

    James Webb Telescope sends first images showing the distant universe as it was billions of years ago. In effect, time travelling back in time. Some of these show galaxies and stars from 13 billion years ago - less than a billion years after the big bang.

    Strange to think that many of the things you see here may have ceased to exist long before the Earth was formed.
