Robot overlords = fake ass

Please do not listen to the nytimes on this.

Anyone who tells you there is danger of robots becoming too smart is an idiot.

I am not secretly a robot.

But seriously, this stuff is bull.

The idea of an “intelligence explosion” in which smart machines would design even more intelligent machines was proposed by the mathematician I. J. Good in 1965. Later, in lectures and science fiction novels, the computer scientist Vernor Vinge popularized the notion of a moment when humans will create smarter-than-human machines, causing such rapid change that the “human era will be ended.” He called this shift the Singularity.

So excited for this event to strike.

As long as all robots follow the first law of Asimov’s robo-rules, we’re okay. And by all robots, I mean Brian Glidewell, because he’s obviously a robot in disguise.
