Robot Roll Call

Alex Jones: Trump Is Fighting A Computer Program That Has Decided To Kill Humans

Right Wing Watch, obvs.
Speaking of robots, can't they get the Romneybot lexicon in standard American English? First "sport", now this:
Romney is “brilliant” in his ability to analyze complicated problems and formulate solutions and “sophisticated” in his understanding of politics, those in his orbit say. Yet he is not a complicated person, with simple tastes that can seem out of place with a man worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

“My favorite meat is hot dog, by the way. That is my favorite meat,” he told a gathering of supporters as they joined him recently for a casual dinner organized by his campaign. “My second favorite meat is hamburger. And, everyone says, oh, don’t you prefer steak? It’s like, I know steaks are great, but I like hot dog best, and I like hamburger next best.”
Actual robo-terror, about which you should be concerned, but can't do a gawd-damn thing.

  1. It is my very firm opinion* that a binary numerical processor - commonly called a "computer" - will never truly be "intelligent"**.

    If we ever start growing computers*** or start building them with those devices that more closely mimic neurons**** well maybe.


    Oh, and in the future humanity will wear funny hats.




    *Of course, I could be wrong.

    **Yes there are systems now that can "learn" and some that come pretty close to passing the Turing Test, but still, all they're really doing is adding 1s and 0s.

    ***We're working on it.

    ****Working on that too.
