The end of humans labouring at tedious tasks is near. Hopefully it will not replace so many jobs in the future that WW3 goes Terminator style... Then again, I want my own to do all the stuff around my place that sucks.

See? These things have already come to pass. At this very minute Sarah and the 21-year old John are hiding out in Mexico waiting for the big one to drop on LA.



This little robot and its progeny will later be determined to have been the basis for the self-awareness of Skynet.

Weird how things work sometimes. A few weeks ago, a close friend of mine and myself had an astonishingly similar dream in which we were riding with eachother in a vehicle that subsequently crashed into a body of water. Was enough to weird me out more than just a little, to say the least.]]>Dec 21st 2005 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/

I think the reason this hit the news is the fact that because of the fact that it has the posibility to distiguish it's self from another bot, or a human, it can theoretically gain a sense of self awareness that questions purpose. If you didn't know yourself from anybody else, or even any other object, then you most likely woudn't question why you are where you are, or what role you play in the grander scheme of things.



As soon as you do recognize yourself you can begin to form a state of indepenance, and as well a need for self worth. When a robot then in turn defines that it needs some form of worth to it's being it could possibly find it's self no longer wanting to continue it's purpose as a slave worker; thus leading us a rebellion - although this is much farther down the road.]]>Dec 21st 2005 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/Dec 21st 2005 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/Dec 21st 2005 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/Dec 21st 2005 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/Dec 21st 2005 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/Dec 21st 2005 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/self-aware-robot-spells-doom-for-us-all/
