Well, I'm not talking about already being soul-sucked and bonded to the machines.

I'm talking about robot soldiers with laser whips standing over us while we dig uranium out of the ground for them


On a side note, ya notice how in that first article they say how 'controlling devices with the brain is a step closer' ...
Does that mean that controling the brain with a machine is also a step closer?

[djmarkpaul]

This is hardcore shit, but most people will only care when it's too late, that's why it will happen...

...well, unless we reprogram Arnold, but that is FAR TOO LATE!

they should develop a "good music" machine. so when shitty bands and DJs are producing music, the machine could kick in and show their brains how to rock out. 2 cord punk riffs would turn into solos and such. all country music would be eliminated. whiny singers would become intune. there could even be a "shitty driver" machine , the test instructors could use judgement as to who needs it ya know. "whats this machine you are installing in my car sir??" .. "uhhh.. its an alarm, we're giving you a free alarm for your car" ... "sweeeet"

i think as long as we have guns and an army a take over by machines will never happen and hell all you'd need is a whole lot of big magnets and they wouldn't be able to get anywhere

Humans won't survive a nuclear war.

FF,

Todays province has an article about a time of scientists who grew a brain from rat cells in a petri dish and got it to control a fighter jet simulator...

That coupled with Nanotechnology is going to be the end of us. Good to know that so much money is invested in killing.

[Dr. Doom]

ooo, GIMME!

[Hot Karl]

so how bad would you freak if the first thing artificial intelligence said was "locating Sarah Connor..."

why can't we just play around with stem cells, and leave technology alone?

[pporpentine9]

although i'm not particularly knowledgeable on the subject, i tend to view the development of robot soldiers like those in the article as a quantitative not a qualitative change...just humans using another, more effective method to control humans--something that we just never seem to tire of. i'm not saying it could never happen...but...i'll be very surprised if machines actually take on a will of their own, distinct and opposite to that of the humans that create and/or program them. we'll see, i suppose.

on a more off topic note, "culture and anarchy" makes me want to kick it in its paper face. ah, poor matthew arnold...
