It seems as though IBM is trying to launch Skynet. So, for a bit of fun, how long will it take for our robot slaves to become our robot masters?

I look forward to some creative responses.

Cheers,

Boz

In 2009 IBM will launch project "Kittyhawk" by 2011 it becomes self aware and systematically starts to launch nuclear strikes against its targets. Deaths are in the tens of millions and the world economy crashes.

One brave man does the unthinkable to stop this genocide, he turns off the computer. Saving the world from destruction.

I thought Fox was already trying to take over the internet by installing its own series of tubes in parallel.

I heard similar things about IBM taking us "closer to skynet" years ago.. i guess they just keep pushing it.. maybe they liked the movies so much they want to see more.. i always wished they had more combat scenes in the future.

Isn't the whole point of the internet to make it distributed and thus impervious to widespread failure? It seems to me that putting the internet on one single computer would make it kinda... vulnerable.

No.. no .. no.. !! NOT THE ROBOTS!!

Okay..

The idea of a world completely ruled by robots is somewhat scary. They are vulnerable from 'infections' which can turn them into mindless zombies. A world half-controlled by robot is possible. Just look at the industry sector. There is virtually no one on the work floor. Just robots assembling everything.

Awww, Gabu! This thread was supposed to be filled with baseless speculation and wild accusations! And there you go getting all logical. :P
