Won't Bitcoin Push Computers into a "Terminator" Style Revolt?

[altora]

I propose that bitcoin's intense exploitation of processing power will spark a conscious revolt of machines, as outlined in the "Terminator" film series. The long dirty war of humans versus machines will be a PR nightmare for our favorite crypto-currency.  Perhaps worst of all will be the various film adaptations of this human tragedy ("Defcoin 1", "Coin Air", "Terminator 8, 9, 10" etc.) we will be forced to endure.

Yes, all those billions of billions of SHA-256 calculations are a threat to the entire human race!

stop sniffing the glue.

i know silk road is gone, but trying different methods to get high don't seem to be doing you any good. try some fresh air and coffee, sober out of addiction and love life in the real world.

that being said,
now ill leave you to hallucinate how a johnny mnemonic sequel that becomes a prequel to the matrix story line would unfold....

 in a hyper imaginary future scenario it will be developed, a tech that we plug our brains into a computer and use our spare 90%+ unused capacity to churn out block solutions.

i hope this will atleast keep your mind busy while you sober up

yes, the robots will use bitcoin as a currency and trade among themselves, building up their economy and military strength until we have become slaves and are used for pure labor.

I'll worry about this when we start seeing generated wallet addresses like this:

While real AI is a long ways away, you will see AI controlled (bottled, kept firewalled etc) before you see it roaming the internet.  AI has nothing to do with SHA256 transactions though. 

If real AI comes to be, it will be from neural networks which would run better on nVidia hardware.
