We are the sum of our psyche, programmed from birth and manipulated throughout life. You cannot escape as long as you act according to how you were programmed to act.

Can a robot disobey its core programming?

Imagine us as the creators, and robots as humans. We give the robots free choice, and then program them with a set of traits and personalities, put them in a controlled environment(earth) and present them choices where we have mathematically predicted with utmost certainty what they will choose. We lead thm through this merry-go-ride and near the end of their pathetic lives, show them how they've been led all the time.

Except, these robots won't get mad. They'll just say "thank you. when do we get to be gods?"

And of course we'll answer them, "right after we reboot you."

Yes. A frikking winning answer if ever i heard one.

So, who wants to get rebooted?
