Susan Blackmore: Memes And “temes”

“Psychologist/memeticist Susan Blackmore proposes that there’s a new layer of “selfish”, evolving replicators in the making: just like cognitive replicators (memes) came into existence at some point during genetic evolution, relying on the genetic layer for their continued existence/replication but also controlling it to a certain degree, now ‘temes’ (technological replicators) are emerging as a product of genetic-memetic evolution, to rely on both genes and memes for their survival/replication, while becoming more and more able to also exert control over both these layers.”//thoughtware.tv

“There is a common misconception that robots will do only what we have programmed them to do,”… The reality, Dr Lin said, was that modern programs included millions of lines of code and were written by teams of programmers, none of whom knew the entire program. “These things are military, and they can’t be pacifists, so we have to think in terms of battlefield ethics.
