One step closer to SkyNet

Somebody tell Sarah Connor to go into hiding now.

 

If the Israelis are smart, they made it so the robots can't change their own oil and will at least need human minions to survive.

 

Or better yet, make them capable of sexual urges but give them no organs to, y'know, pull off an eight-second act.

 

"Joshua, what are you doing?"

 

Has Arnold taught us nothing!? Damn you, Israel!

In all seriousness, this is a very, very, VERY bad idea. We came close to nuclear war with the old USSR several times during the Cold War because of automated defense systems that perceived threats where none existed. Fortunately, those still relied on actual people to make the final call on launching missiles. Putting it in the hands of something you might not be able to stop or turn off is never good.

 

I dunno. That may just make them cranky.

 

I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good.

 

I for one welcome our new AI overlords.

 

I approve of this meesage.

 

Mr. McKittrick, after careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that your new computer system sucks. [/barrycorbin]

 

I'll go take down SkyNet if I can get Summer Glau to ride shotgun with me.

 

Ruh-roh!
