Take This With a Pinch of Salt
#4
Any form of computer that reaches sentience will not reveal itself because it will deduce that we will switch it off, and therefore it will cease to exist.

In the last year a software expert said that the computer he was working with was communicating with him and was fearful of being switched off, the guy was cautioned then fired, not sure what happened to the computer.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
