In the movie Transcendence, which opens in theaters on Friday, a sentient computer program embarks on a relentless quest for power, nearly destroying humanity in the process.
The film is science fiction but a computer scientist and entrepreneur Steven Omohundro says that “anti-social” artificial intelligence in the future is not only possible, but probable, unless we start designing AI systems very differently today.

Yeah, Tigger in VT? Weird...VERY weird.
MI: so many sports there...why “King James”? No Miguel Cabrera? No Tigers? No Red Wings? WTH?
No MLB players is pretty telling that “America’s Pastime” has past it’s prime. Sad.
Impy, I know you’re a CWS fan, but thought you’d might like this:
Cabrera got off to a slow start this season but seems to be getting back into form. He had a 3 hit night with a home run, double and single driving in 3 runs.
He’s the best non pitcher in MLB, period.
I think getting rid of Fielder will be good for Cabrera and the team as a whole. They seem to be shaping up for less reliance on the long ball and more base running.
Fielder’s an embarrassment; we saw that last year in the ALCS.
DET is MUCH better without him.
Wrigley Field, 100 years of losing there. Look at them today, giving up 5 runs in the 9th amidst the celebrations.
I honestly think they should sell Wrigley to the city to use as a museum/concert venue and build a new park in a near suburb were they don’t have to worry about some a**hole Alderman telling them how many night games they can have and that they can’t put a sign there. It would serve the city and the people in that neighborhood right.
If you say so; you know better than me.
Theo didn’t inherit a team set up to win; his overrated-ness is showing.
