[alicebot-aiethics] hawking deserves the best AI or new body we can give him

[Tamara Thompson]

Haven't had a chance to see the article you reference.  But IMHO, I think we
oughta give Hawking the best AI or artificial body we can come up with--I don't
want to lose him.  :)

Every now and then I get a massage for a pain in my back I've had lately.
Being kind of a spartan with regard to these  'pleasures' , I always wonder
about Hawking, how his body feels, if he needs a massage.

But loving learning and communication, I even more strongly often think that
someday, we will just have to be able to give people strong and healthy units
to communicate from.  New bodies or some platform from which they can speak
freely.

dunno, I just think about this topic alot.  All in all it would be simpler to
dna fix or enhance existing bodies.  possibly.  I'm not sure IQ is even the
issue there---maybe just simply be able to com ideas...
