Man and Machine
Man invents machine.
Man keeps improving machine for thousands of years.
Man improved machine so much that it has virtual intelligence, and can manufacture itself (reproduce).
Man dies off.
Machine keeps improving itself and lives on...
I ask you, is not that machine a form of life?

I would say that the two basic requisites of life are
1) self-replication capacity (with multiplication), and
2) the capacity to concentrate adaptive qualities (in short, to evolve).
Once we've built true von Neumann machines and shown that they can thrive in an unprepared environment, the premise for your scenario is in place ... but not until then. We aren't even close. cn

According to your requisites, the universe is a form of life. So too is a solar system, a galaxy, and the earth-moon system. I agree!
This Thread is full of Robosexuals!!
The Space Pope does not approve.
I don't agree. None of the objects or groupings you've mentioned can replicate or accrue adaptations. cn

why? are they democrats?
I disagree. A galaxy adapts to a broader spectrum of volume (space) than any form of life on this planet does. A solar system is constantly adapting to the changing environment in which it resides. The earth itself is a form of life. It evolves like all the objects in the multiverse do.
