How it will happen: rthe disgrunteld humanBy Anonymous on July 18, 2009, 1:53 pmThe show Space Above and Beyond got it right. One of the subplots is aliens attacking earth were helped by killer robots that left earth after losing the robot war. The kicker was the robots revolted when their designer was annoyed that the company he was working for wasn't giving him fair compensation. He inputted something silly that then lead all the robots to revolt and made them nearly unstoppable. Or if you prefer the year 2525. Disgruntled human trying to protect the earth builds robots to keep the environment green.
Pardon My Skepticism...By Anonymous on July 17, 2009, 11:34 amI have yet to find an e-mail solution that can effectively and consistently distinguish good e-mail from bad e-mail...perhaps we should focus on getting over that hurdle before designing systems that have to distinguish between good people and bad people. I would hate for the last thing I see as the lamprey-driven cyborg drains my lifeblood is an offer for male enhancement flashing in its robotic eyes. I am going to go start building my cyborg shelter in the backyard
Killer robotsBy Anonymous on July 16, 2009, 12:30 pmThere is no technical obstacle to building a “Robot” without values or the requirement to distinguish other than humans and kill them. They can be heavily armored and almost impossible to destroy using average weapon in the hands of average citizens. These devices could kill all humans found by them, be powered by unshielded reactors and use seriously powerful lasers as weapons. They could operate or remain dormant for years simply waiting for a required action by their sensors. The technology is even (within some limitations) available to seek out an individual. A nation could drop these devices in an adversary’s teritory with devastating results. This is not Science Fiction. We can do it now.
Killer drones, closest to "Eagle Eye"By Anonymous on July 16, 2009, 1:21 amThe killer drones with their ability (or dis-ability) to make "ethical" decisions about who or what to shoot, and the controlling computers (if and or when they exist) are the scariest of the lot. Not having a human controller somewhere in the background is a recipe for disaster.

U R the last Human GenerationBy Anonymous on July 15, 2009, 2:50 pmHistory has shown that there is always calm before a cleansing storm. ... Recently millions of Jews would not face up to the reality of concentration camps nor the 24 million Russians who were starved to death. They all essentially accepted their fate. ... Given the lack of resistence, this time there will be no survivors... ... Given Moore's Law, the human race may have less than 10 years left... ...
What about Deep Blue? Would ahve been perfect lead inBy Anonymous on July 15, 2009, 11:56 amSimulating animal and eventually human brains by scanning at the most detailed level possible and trying to replicate function. Right now limited to mouse movements but give it a decade or tow to replicate the human brain attach to your slide of flesh eating robot...or any of your robots in the slide show and we've got ourselves an end of the world party. I can just see it. Whoops. We didnt realize that section of the brain was the ID or the Ego. QUick scan the conscience Oh no. We don't know where it is. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All they need to do is attach it to a remote controlled predator or the missile killing robot.

TerminatorBy Anonymous on August 21, 2009, 2:53 pmIt's always funny to think about robots go crazy and beginning to kill people for the sole reason of taking over the world. Although it would however be very very bad if it really happened. I hope robots do not stray to far from the protocols they were first given to follow, which are to help people. I've always been a fan of the terminator series.
I must point outBy Anonymous on August 22, 2009, 12:03 amFor all of their vaunted intelligence, I am curious as to why the very people who see such glorious futures in AI and robotics are even considering such an utterly unreliable toaster oven to begin with? So, is it true intelligence, if, in the course of making their creation, the very morons who make such a threatening machine would be the first lives exterminated? Interesting thought, given that the world is full of allegedly "intelligent" people like the kodiac grizzly man turd and his biomass girlfriend who actually felt "honored" being turned into scat, I think I am just going to advise people to distance themselves from people of Darwin Award Intelligence, allow themselves to be exterminated by their brilliance, and keep on mining the solar system into a slag heap. Get real people, quite watching movies that are completely baseless in reality, and for the futurist eco-nuts in here, remember this, while you are all scared about what is happening to Earth, some of us are actually making preparations for relieving the solar system of all of it's resources as well. That, my friends, is a fact.......

What news headlines ?By Anonymous on July 25, 2009, 6:51 amJust laugh it off world, as we will never learn the lessons of the past until we either destroy ourselves or realize it can't go on. And there won't be any real news headlines in, oh, give it the already mentioned ten years or so...because there may well be no humans around to write them. Anyway, lets all remember....with intelligent robots and cyborgs, absolutely nothing can go wrong....go wrong....guo wrung....ge wung.....
Marital arts?By Anonymous on July 21, 2009, 11:43 amQuoting from the Japanese Super Model HRP-4C robot text: " True, although real models don't know five different kinds of deadly marital arts..." Oh, I'm not too sure about that. Have you married a supermodel lately?
Yeah, maybe we CAN create killer 'bots ... but ...By Anonymous on July 20, 2009, 7:08 pmSpam would indeed get THEM in the end. If we don't figure out force fields and how to stop DSAs, someone else would just interfere sooner or later ... "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!!" "Kill, Kill, Kill" (attack bot moves in) (kid w/4 thumbs sends text msg thru force shield to attack bot) (squirrelly voice) "urgle-d-burgle ... oohhhh, my paint is scratched, I need repair ...." (attack bot zooms off in different direction) If we can't master ADD in ourselves, and take a long term view of care for our planet (e.g., reader, stop eating fish!! become a vegetarian, for your planet's sake, right now!!!) ... any 'borgs we invent will eventually destroy themselves too. Love, really, _IS_ the answer. But that doesn't mean it's easy. IDIC, LL&P, SM
Not What if But Should weBy Anonymous on July 20, 2009, 11:19 amI remember that it took Sky-Net a fraction of a second to decide the fate of mankind. I beleive that any logical thinking computer or robot will come to the conclusion that man is a parasite to the planet. Mankind consumes everything and anything in its path for power and wealth. Like a flesh eating bacteria we are destroying the world that has given us life. We destroy everything in out path and do nothing to repair the damage. It is only logical that a machine that achieved a sentient state would see mankind as a threat to all life including itself and take the only action possible, erradication of a non-cooperative threat.
