Computers will exceed our intelligence and what they will value will be very different from what we value. Human beings are motivated by one singular purpose and that is to ensure that our genes survive. If you observe human behaviour you will notice that this is the root of most of our aims and desires.
Why do women want to be beautiful? Why are men so competitive? Why do we want to excel at work? Why do we want to be successful? Why do we want to win at sports? Why do we want to accumulate wealth? Why are we jealous, envious, or ambitious?
But, what if you never died? What if each person could live forever? What if resources were not important? What if you could sleep for a millenium and wake up again?
Then what what would we want? What would computers want? What if the world worshiped complexity and knowledge instead? What if we were motivated by trying to unfolding the complexities of nature, the universe, and well basically everything....
Screw sex I say ! Have sex cuz you recognize that you biologically need to and stop letting desire push you around! Spiritual computers may salvage us yet.
In the words of Mr. Albert Einstein:
"The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought."
