I for one welcome our militant robot overlords...

Perhaps we can use robots to fight the eugenicists?

Cylon. Those bots are H-O-T!

Yea, I'm more an advocate of bioengineering over robots.

I've checked the headlines on Reuters for a few years now, and I can't remember a single time Bernd Debusmann wrote anything positive about the US. Every couple of weeks it's some new complaint or disturbing forecast.

Personally I view a robot or AI as being nothing more than an advanced tool designed to perform a specific task and make our lives easier.

Which is great when the task is killing people.

I did a thread on this a while back. People were quite cool with terminators.

2050: robot warriors of the west against billions of brown people from everywhere else fighting for the remaining bits of habitable land*. You read it here first.

I'll be dead anyway, and I'll be encouraging my children and grandchildren to join the army. All present evidence to the contrary not withstanding, I reckon the government will have to look after the armed forces.

(* I don't condone this. I just look at the demographics and the way the climate is going and think this is a likely outcome)
