Skynet becomes self-aware...



Let's say you're going to build an autonomous robot. If you've ever read any science fiction books or seen any science fiction movies, had ever heard of some guy named Frankenstein, or something called a Terminator, you'd probably limit its work to repairing your car, maybe shoveling your sidewalk, and cleaning out the kitty litter. Having absorbed the life-lessons of Battlestar Galactica, you'd treat it well in the hopes that, when it and its cyber-brethren take over the planet, they might at least give you a comfy job in your new duties as a meat-slave to our new mechanical overlords. Obviously, if had any brain at all, you would certainly not program it to muck around with genetics because, let's face it, that's just asking for big, big trouble.

Unless you're these dudes in Britain.

And they called it Adam. We. Are. So. Screwed.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Can I get you an oil can, perhaps?

Oh, and since we're talking about robots destroying society, here's a little article about how gay marriage will destroy society by bringing about ... ROBOT MARRIAGE!
