Killer Robots

Scientists in Japan have invented a self-aware baby robot seal that reacts to human voice and touch. They insist it helps “heal” the elderly. I’m convinced this is a recon team.

Only yesterday did a robot make it’s first scientific discovery, and I was wondering how fast these things would learn. It looks like my questions have been answered since a computer has now discovered the laws of physics on its own. Looks like we’re in for quite a ride, humans.

For the first time in human history, a robot has discovered a scientific fact on its own that humans did not already know. From the article. “The robot, called Adam, is the first machine to have independently ‘discovered new scientific knowledge’.”

I wonder how often these discoveries will be made now…

Forward operating agent “nicole” submitted a story about iPods being controlled by facial expressions. That’s all fine until you get to the part about a device that “monitors natural movements of the face in everyday life and accumulates data”. Awesome, an iPod that learns…

From the article: "It's official: robotics scientists are now just daring the things to kill us. An Aberdeen University have built a robot programmed to fulfill one objective no matter what, to evolve in order to do so, and to make use of extra materials when they're available."

The DoD is looking to develop chat-robots to talk to the kids of deployed parents… Let the brain-washing begin…

Tan Le is co-founder of a company that is developing a direct brain interface they're calling a Mind Control Device. Basically a way to directly interface the brain to a computer… Both consciously, and the more-scary subconsciously. We can only hope this technology stays on our side…

A research paper written by a robot has been accepted at one of the most prestigious computer security conferences. In fact, the robot under an assumed name of "Herbert Schlangemann" has even been selected as session chair. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

Yet another "thought-controlled" robotic arm… Let's hope that this technology never falls into the wrong hands.

You just never know when they're watching… Be safe, fellow humans.
