-'''A machine is a collection of enclosed parts that use energy to produce output for a user. This may be as simple as cogs in a drill press making holes in wood or employees working in a [[corporation]] to make profit. As automation increases with the rise of dis unionisation, digital internal governance systems, robotisation machines are becoming less human led and more mechanised in their pursuit of profit.'''

-The majority of machines use a source of energy to make output which is always produced as two kinds:
+Machines need energy to make output which is always produced as two kinds:
 # '''Intended output,''' ''the product (internality)'' such as holes in wood or profit in the bank.
 # '''Non intended output,''' waste (''[[Externalities|externality)]]'' such as wood shavings or emissions.
-Machine efficiency is paramount. This led to the stringing of machines together to form a ''factory,'' a collection of machines within and enclosure.

-This stepping up of machines holds true in the world of computers. Instead of using physical inputs and outputs, the first computers (Figure 2) processed information into other kinds of information. This, initially was done manually a human would eat some food, turn the cog on the Babbage, Difference Engine and produce new information as a productive output and waste output. A with traditional machines computer were further refined to be powered by electricity and the physical cogs were replaced with virtual cogs called algorithms. After a while, many different algorithms came together to make the modern operating system which is the equivalent to a virtual factory.
+Instead of using physical inputs and outputs, the first computers processed information into other kinds of information. The hand cranked Difference Engine (Figure 2) produce new information as a productive output.
-Both the operating system and factories can be described as advanced tools. A tool being something that is wielded by someone which increases their efficiency in doing a set task. However, from an owners perspective of both the labour and the tool, after achieving 100% productive output efficiency from the tool the only way to advance the productive output is to turn to the one that weilds

There are multiple reasons however it boils down to if you create something more intelligent than yourself it may find out some information which we do not know which might rationalise destroying human life. For instance, if an AI was tasked without '''hard written (ROM)''' specifying something along the lines of Issac Asimov's three laws of robotics to protect biodiverse life on earth its first thought would most probably kill the majority of humans. Luckily, as of yet no autonomous robots have been created in the traditional sense.

Luckily, as of yet no autonomous robots have been created in the traditional sense.
 There are many problems with the creation of General AI, and many of them have been solved for instance human intelligence has been mimicked as a starting point, spawning neural networks and machine learning technology which has taught us that weighting masses of data points in an interlaced network of tables helps computers come up with better solutions to problems. However, as of yet, it seems not to have been able to unhook from coded heuristics to make its own about the world.
