Wow, a link that actually goes to a REAL BBC news story. That's the only really surprising thing in this thread.
This is a poll Josh would've made. RIP Josh.
Whoa.
C) And if they don't do it while making that "sound", I will be most displeased.
This is the beginning. Today, self-replicating robots, tomorrow Skynet.

THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED TO TAKE HUMAN FORM AND MAKE COOL ROBOT MUSIC

Also, Von Neumann machines have been around for awhile now.
I keep wishing I could run onto the stage and kick the robots over while wearing a "Human liberation army" T-shirt. I would run away screaming "down with the robot overloards"
That would rule hard.
I feel the way some people must have felt when they saw the first computers back in the early 20th century.
Cool .. but so what?
if robots really did rise up, id join them. screw humans.

Anyway, as long as we program any thinking machines with the Three Laws of Robotics, we'll be safe.
HAVENEY SEEN I ROBOT?
THERE IS NO SAFETY
NWO! NWO!
LAWL, TINTIN WITH A BOOMERANG!
HE WAS NOT READY!
Well I can see a time when robots will turn on humans and try to eradicate them, but a heroic robot named X will step forward and save the world. Over, and over, and over again.
I was all, "WTF is this Robot sheit?!" and then I saw my name attached to it.
Question:
How the hell did I manufacture a poll?
That I didn't even vote on?
And what was I drinking and watching that I thought this would be a good idea?
I was banned.
I think when Josh gets banned there should be a tag/comment that says who the offending party was.
So we can vigilante his ass.
One by one and two by two there's robots coming after you....
Standard futurist (lol) answer: the robots will win when they can design better versions of themselves or an AI can write a better version of itself. Its called the technological singularity.
All we have to do is start building emotional/morality responses into 'em. Perhaps a set of rules or directives....
I can think of three or so rules.
Oh yes indeed.
they have issues though.
Lots of workarounds, yeah.
