Nutn, I don’t think they’ll get that far, and even if they do, it’s not gonna get that serious, not terminator type stuff.

No. If we do make super robots (Mother Brain), we’ll just make super cyborg humans (Samus).
Humans pwn Computers.

No.

We create technology. We determine what it can and can’t do. Computers won’t be able to turn on us unless we program them to do so.

Its been shown that computers can learn, and this was back before we had microprocessors. Its still a simplified learning system, but they can do it, in theory and in practice.

This was shown with a Checkers computer, however, and it could only learn as much as it could hold in its memory. There were computers later that had far more, so it lost when it couldn’t learn more.

If we limit technology, yes, we can control it. Always. However, the trick is to deny what makes us lose ourselves.
