Is a bus speeding diwn a street, carrying humans and flashing lights, alive? At what point does something that functions begin to be considered living?
Do we ourselves sometimes function but not live?

- i don't think mere function equals life. life is the ability to sustain perpetual thought and motion though a means of collecting energyimbecile
- "teach" a machine to protect, repair if possible, and "learn" from gathered data as it "forages" for energy, or "sustinece". i would consider that alive.imbecile
- throw some "don't hurt humans" programming in there somewhere and i'm sure we'd give them rights.imbecile
- if life.human() in ['y', 'yes']:
print("do not harm")imbecile - Beautiful, imbecile. Beautiful.docpoz
