Quote If the system fails, the grid goes down and all humans die, these robots could go on living so long as the flies don't go with us.

I think those penguins already eat human flesh but don't leave any witnesses! They make me think of the waterborne Skynet machines. Really, it's not that far away from those thrashing eel things in Salvation and underwater stuff in Sarah Connor Chronicles. Water is a much easier environment to develop and hide AI robots in than air or land. Can't be long until rogue suicide bomber AIs remain in the water after a war.

Now we are doomed to exist solely at the sufferance of our robot masters :(

Title: Re: File under: Functions robots will use against us Post by: UnSub on July 14, 2009, 08:45:00 PM Apparently there is more than one company working on this kind of technology. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,532492,00.html?test=latestnews)
And they named it EATR. Title: Re: File under: Functions robots will use against us Post by: Righ on July 18, 2009, 07:45:36 AM Ah good, we're one step closer to a self-replicating nano-robot that powers itself off biomass. What could possibly go wrong?
