Looks like Skynet's on the way .... :-)


Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

  • It seems to be a three horse race to the death: Robots vs Kim & Don (&Vlad) vs Good Ol' fashioned ecological disaster.. Not really worth betting on tho =/

    I bet they'd get on well with Yngwie Malmsteen though.  They'd probably love a jam with him.

    The biggest question that diagram has given me is who is currently flying the earth??
    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    I've just bought an anthology called "Robot Uprisings" to read on my hollibobs, I'll let you know the outcome on my return.

    If they let me return...

    They won't get 'headaches' or go batshit crazy once a month, so it's not necessarily all bad news.

    Robots Uprising is a cool name for a band. 

    Back to the topic, in "Sirens of Titan" by Kurt Vonnegut, there is a robot called Salo. He and his buddies killed all their makers because they saw them as a major threat to their planet. So I guess its quite possible.

    Somebody wrote a piece of fiction ......... so I guess it's quite possible ..... I'm finding your logic flawed.

    It's terrifying.
    Now I'm nearly as scared of robots as I am of immigrants.

    You need to watch Big Hero 6,

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    If robots don't get us, zombies will.
