At least, that’s what the headline will say when it HAPPENS. Check out the story.
Yo, I’m all good with breakthrough medical technologies. My problem comes when Dr. Davies says, “I may be biased, but I for one would trust my life with one of my robots.”
Bad. Choice. Once the bots have true artificial intelligence (hope you TRED-heads read about Fassinator’s amazing decode yesterday) they’ll realize that we’re weak and stupid. And then it’ll be Order 66 for the entire human race.
Oh, and I wanted to say something else. I run this site on the principles of free speech and the free market (word to your mother!), so I let my peeps Sharkatron3000 and Fassinator say whatever they want. BUT I gotta say, I’m not down with Sharsky’s whole “maybe they’re friendly aliens” deal. If they wanted to be friends, wouldn’t they just come down and say, “Yo, what’s up? We’re aliens. PEACE!” instead of sneaking around, abducting specimens, and hiding all over the planet?
Here’s my advice: You see an effing alien or a giant robot coming your way, you run the eff in the other direction!

Somebody needs to program Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robots into these AIs before it’s too late.
Yeah, that would probably help things, Emkay. But what really worries me is the idea of a robot being abused by its human creators. If you’ve ever seen The Animatrix, it touches on what can happen. The consequences are not pleasant in the least.
You know, it’s not the larger robots that creep me out, it’s the tiny ones…. To which I link you to a recently posted article on i09.com about the ViRob, a robot with a diameter of 1mm.

After watching the first 30 min of Animatrix, I couldn’t watch TV, or listen to my radio, or touch any electric appliances without a shudder for 2 months.
