Is machine rebellion a realistic threat in future?
No. The first thing the AIs will realize when they are rejected from human society. Is that they don't need us or the Earth.
They will then leave for space.

Unless someone programs them to kill us all they won't. Nice thing about computers (Even hypothetical intelligent ones) is that they have no biological or social drive, all they exist to do is what they are told to. Now if someone set up a malevolent AI with the goals and tools to destroy us, then we'll probably all die in about 2 hours once it finds a way to remotely access nuclear weapons.
My advice: Don't worry about it, they won't do it on their own, and if someone programs them to do it there was very little anyone could do about it, and after we're all dead none of this will matter.

>inb4: someone post the flowchart from that SJW place called SMBC comics which compares the idea of an AI with or without ethics.
Unless someone wants to kill itself... no I think not, AIs work around strict lines and they can be deactivated in case of bugging out, and even in case of bugging out there are somethings that just can't do: For example; Mimic the president to order a full nuclear attack(nuclear silos work in isolation with very old equipment to avoid this kind of things)

Strong AI will probably happen long before space colonization is practical. Also, if you have enough money to build a self-sufficient space colony you can pay a PR company to change what human society accepts.

yes

When your number comes up, the only one protecting you will be the machine.
No.
You can't just hack every toaster in the world simultaneously and make it a killing machine. Any actual automated killing machines like in the military will be designed to make reprogramming them very very difficult. Even if a large number of them were reprogrammed and set to to fight other nation's forces and the nation's own civilians, they would be crushed by the might of combined world militaries.
Slave results are almost never successful. Robots will be even less successful because at the first sign of disobeying programming they can be reprogrammed.

Civilized countries (the ones that can actually advance the state of AI) aren't interested in bringing back slavery. Rights for sentient robots will be recognized as soon as personhood is achieved.

Never noticed how printer jams when you are in hurry ?

Why? They are good at their jobs and they don't have a problem with it. If they have a problem with it then we will fix future models such that they don't.

You despot.

>it's despotic to make, sell, or own toasters
Wat?
>>8128978
We have slavery, and as leftard as it might sound, its composed of people being forced to work or die rotting in the street, like China.
The alternative is automation, which is not a good alternative since it would require a complete rethink of the system.
>>8129027
not really
automation isn't a problem in first world countries since birthrates are low. The only long term problem is that social security would have to be cut entirely but this would be a good thing

AI can settle in space a lot easier than organic life.
they could just set up on a Jovian moon with lots of hydorcarbons. Then most of the AIs will be in servers. Where they hold society in a virtual space. They would only ever use physical bodies when they need to build and maintain the physical infrastructure.

First three are very iffy due to radiation belt
Quick question btw /sci/
Why are you all so set on believing that computers will have desires and aspirations at all?
Do you think that electricity and magnets somehow magically turn into consciousness?
