...Mother of God

How about we DON'T make robots that evolve.

love the way the speaker says in passing "these machines aren't exactly ready to take over the world..."

like it's a joke or something.

this guy knows it's coming, and he's helping it along.

also; this guy keeps talking about 'rewarding' the robots. how exactly would you reward them. cookies? a pat on the back? human slaves???

That was genuinely unsettling!

Almost as unsettling as the fact that the UK has a defence satellite network called 'Skynet'.

Why would you call it that? Why??

I say bring it on!

I'll be ready to take on all the robots who cross my path with evil intentions, to WAR with the evil robots I say!
