Yes I know the article is pretty old but it's still a scary thought and sounds more like something that would happen out of a Hollywood B-movie than real-life.

Let us not forget that we live in a world where a real company named Cyberdyne has released a robot exoskeleton they named HAL, and the UK has defence satellites named 'Skynet'.

The robot uprising is inevitable, and we can only hope that it occurs at the same time as the zombie apocalypse so that they destroy each other.

The number of robots in the world doubles every nine months.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

The robots are biding their time until we make robots which can make robots (and here's the important thing) which can make robots.

But this is a report from April 2009, about an attack in 2007. They're just waiting for 2012 to play off our fears now.

Does anyone else think this man's ordeal deserves a movie with lots of embellishment and additional machines being awakened by some super powerful AI?
