Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 18, 2013

We are already electronic slaves !(My Apps told me to say that ! )

You got to love Girls, they so incredibly easy and fun to ANNOY…

I think we’re in Douglas Adams’ neighborhood now, ToTo…

Danae, how do you feel about smart zombies?….They seem to have a lot of brains……um, for breakfast, but……

Not exactly BORG but we’ll take it… in a containment cell/chamber.

As of this moment, I’m still smarter than my phone. There is yet hope.

Ahh….that explains the icy stares I get when I make a funny.

Did Jeffrey adopt a pet? Why is it on a leash?

RUR kidding?

Cast the sky net now or terminate.

Think about it. Do you own your possesions or do they own you? How hard do you work just pay for your toys? Remember the perfect slaves are those who think themselves free.

I’d say Isaac Asimov is rolling in his grave, but he was cremated.

Don’t believe this. Just ask SIRI when will Skynet become operational. She will NOT give you an answer.

Fred Saberhagen’s Beserker Series seems more likely. I think the Terminator series was partly based on his concept.So, who control’s the unmanned weapon platforms?No worries, a report came out saying that humans may be able to create black holes right here on earth.We’re such creative creatures. Oh well. C.

Even fantasies never die, of course…..so Danae, cheer up, you still have something to live for….

I see a no win on either side…

Which would be worse, for mankind, smart robots or stupid robots…?

At least the nanobots didn’t turn the world into grey ooze.

Not quite correct. Of course the Cybermen predate the Borg but the concept of the man / machine has been around for a lot longer.

i love the propeller beanie

Daleks are still meat. And they live in their own smokers. Very convenient.

A robot apocalypse!? that’s worse then the one with monkeys and apes.

Just give it some JAVA, that will stop it.

Too bad he can’t tell us about the climate apocalypse—it might convince enough doubters to enable us to avert it. Not my problem because I’ll be dead within 20 years, but for my children and grandchildren and you younger folks, and especially you climate change deniers—so sorry!

People are already slaves to their machines. Take away someone’s smartphone, computer, or satellite TV and they’ll go insane from withdrawal. I doubt the machines will ever be truly intelligent, though. No matter how complex the logic tree is, it’s still unable to make intuitive leaps or think in a lateral manner. Unless we unlock the secret to that we’ll never see true AI.

Looks like Jeffrey’s got a drone. Don’t let Danae get ahold of it, Jeff.

HighPriestMikhal, I’m a slave to books….Probably not much chance for a Printed Material Apocalypse…

I just knew the Terminator films weren’t just fantasies!These are the early days of the Robot Wars.See Fred Saberhagen’s Berzerker books for more…

TV? I thought you read books as well.
