Wait, I've seen this movie...It ends poorly for organic creatures...

Bush's Dream: Robot Army





Nope, It's not your parents robot,
This one doesn't play as nice:




I guess you probably did a double take too? I thought it was a joke when I saw the Quotation of the Day in the New York Times, by Gordon Johnson, "They don't get hungry, They're not afraid. They don't forget their orders. They don't care if the guy next to them has just been shot. Will they do a job better than humans? Yes."

HA! This is a problem on so many levels...

First, again, the US government is finding new and creative ways to encourage the outsourcing American jobs. That is ridiculous, and awful, but, hardly the biggest problem.

The story here is, we are going to create a group of extremely lethal robots that look like soldiers, but they have increased efficiency, strength, accuracy, and of course, no inner morality that might prohibit abusive behavior. Wow. I think every movie Armageddon flick I've seen that is not Space/Environmentally driven is based on the premise that we have created robots that are better than the humans, and now, the humans are dying.

Obviously, the Administration does not watch many movies. Or maybe, as I said earlier, the White House really is encouraging the apocalypse.

As I stated in the first blog, this will be an ever evolving project, and this article has inspired me to steal a page out of SI, and introduce, "SPAD's sign of the apocalypse" as a daily addition to our work here.

SPAD's sign of the Apocalypse:

The Pentagon is pushing to have a Robot Army by 2035, including swarming dust particles, hummingbird sized soldiers, as well as your traditional "foot soldier" (that's right, I made a TNMT reference, and you're impressed...)
