    This is far scarier. Esentially, some scientists set up an experiment where little robots were allowed to "evolve" in a habitat that contained food and poison. Some of them eventually learned to "lie" in order to gain an advantage by tricking the other robots into eating poison.
    I'm not about to start spouting SkyNet-related doomsday theories, but this does give that idea a little credibility.
    My signature is cooler than yours.

    Thats what NASA think. But really he's starting a new robot race on mars. I bet they'll call themselves something original like... the Decepticons.... or something.

    Fuck me that's scary!

    That's it, we're doomed - doomed I tell you. How long will it be before the AIs take over?

    My main concern about developing AI would be that the fuckers would get lazy and we'd have to start doing everything like we used to.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    And with that, this has become the greatest thread the internet has ever seen.

    Your safe for a few more years. the complexity involved for storing and deciding on emotions (like being lazy) is far away

    DB is the new Porridge. Cause most of the mods must be sucking his cock ..... Or his giving them some oral help? How else can you explain it?

    Isn't that an oxymoron

    "a team of teenagers with attitudes".

    Majesty really.

    I was inspired by some of the costumes from clips on youtube of the second series (which all kids here were deprived of. Hell, I wasn't even allowed to see season 1, effing sheltered youth...). I'm practising making things with fibreglass. Next logical step from bike fairings would be a transformers battle suit...

    If you were a true fan, you'd figure out someway to make the Pocket Bike an extension the Real bike.

    I have a second that I need to get going (needs a top end). Maybe they could be my shoes.
