Or maybe this will be what rules the world: www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,505159,00.html This one seems scary to me because it will be so quick to ally with other robots and respond to perceived threats. It's great if that's working on your side. But what if you become a perceived threat? |

Because that's exactly what we need: an army of little machines that saturate our computer network. I'm not even talking about the few that turn out to be malicious. I just mean the pure weight of them on the system. Every year my computer gets slower, and it's comparably much less sophisticated (although more dog-hair filled) than what they're talking about. I really don't think we'll have to worry about a cyber Brain "trying to take over the world." Long before, it'll take a left instead of a right and lock up the whole place.
Although, the hamster thing brings whole new significance to Rhino's dependence on his ball.

Unless the mega computer brain is a Mac.

Is this the springboard technology for the nanobots that can interface with biological organisms?
(And what bright and dark speculations might that trigger?)

It sounds like it. Combine that with the AI technology they use for that artificial hand that you think at and it responds...we might see biological robotic interfaces in fifty years.

It gives a whole new meaning to speculative fiction, no? On the one hand, I can see the technology helping people who's physical bodies don't work (such as the Steven Hawkins of the world), which can set off a whole nuther can of worms. (already too many sci fi movies on that angle).
The actual article itself brings to mind the newest movie out (Eagle Eye) and how messed up that particular computer system got (shades of 2001).
Unfortunately, I'm enough of a pessimist that I don't think we'll ever see anything remarkable and useful come of it. I'm still waiting for the McD's and Marriotts in space for the tourist happy (not to mention that long awaited city on Mars/Moon)
