BBC News - Risk of robot uprising wiping out human race to be studied

Face it, we're stuffed.

If they are built and coded by Bob I think we are ok for the moment......

You put up with Spod though?

Erm, he's not a robot.

And, CUK isn't real life....

Skynet

It's a bit like that Siri person who lives in the iPhone. Feck that, I'm not having a robot tell me what to do.

I don't like it.

I for one, welcome our new terminator-stylee overlords.

1) Debatable (Permiefied)

2) It's the only life some people have!

Aww bless, are you one of these people who think the internet isn't real?

Aww bless, are you one of these people who think the internet isn't real?

Of course it's real.

I just don't want it talking to me.

At least you can generally see rampaging robots. So they'd be far less of a hazard than genetically engineered viruses or bacteria on the loose.

Sooner or later some disastrous release of the latter is almost bound to happen, they way some gung ho scientists carry on, and it wouldn't have to target humans - A virus that only killed grass for example (including rice, wheat, etc) would kill a fair proportion of the Earth's population

Could we have the robots replace the chavs?

Why not have the robots blast the chavs with high tech weaponry live on TV? Everyone wins.
