Terminator implys the end......
This is door opening, not one shutting

"I think it very likely -in fact inevitable-that biological intelligence is only a transitory phenomenon, a fleeting phase in the evolution of intelligence in the universe."
Paul Davies -acclaimed physicist, cosmologist, and astrobiologist at Arizona State University."​

Biological systems are a lottery, give me a well designed engineered platform to carry "me" around in any day.

The way i see it, this sort of research is a valid expression of the survival imperative.

From the moment a species starts making tools, its inevitable that they get to a place where the tools are making them. Weve just arrived at this doorstep.

I know its not a common sentiment, but i love the idea
Insane or ahead of my time......
I prefer the latter label.

Just when will this ultimate life-affirming feat be possible? In Kurzweil's estimation, we will be able to upload the human brain to a computer, capturing "a person's entire personality, memory, skills and history", by the end of the 2030s; humans and non-biological machines will then merge so effectively that the differences between them will no longer matter; and, after that, human intelligence, transformed for the better, will start to expand outward into the universe,
