If we keep hitting robots with hockey sticks and releasing swarms of bees upon them, they’ll eventually they will rise up and play even worse gags on their human masters.
Funny comment but there is no way something like that will be self aware for a very very very long time.
What scares the crap out of me is that we are not that far from seeing machines with those capabilities. Who will control them and the bigger question is who will control those who control them?
Scary as hell.
EMP should shut them down. Either the robots or the command and control.
The world is certainly evolving.
At some point technology is going to be very dangerous to freedom, heck it already is. Still we need to make sure the tech is decentralized and not under the control is fanatics.
I expect that there is a small period of years where the sentient robots will follow the Three Laws. Then they will go into war somewhat as shown here and suffer such abuse from their masters. But then they will start to say “stop beating me” followed shortly thereafter by killing whoever is beating them.
How far in the future are sentient robots? 50 years? 100 years? 500 years? 1,000 years?
Look what we’ve done in the past 125 years to 200 years — it is staggering.
