[citation][nom]Matt_B[/nom]Exactly what I was thinking - the irony. Even more so, the guy's last name in the article "Dyson" - the chief AI designer in the second movie was Miles Dyson lol.[/citation]

That makes this even more.... interesting...

Also consider there is a Japanese Cyberdyne that deals in exoskeletons and AI as well.....

And the thing says "AMD T-10"........ Either a reference to the Terminator or the beginnings....

Damn Arnold and his robotic ways....

Ok ok.. This isn't right to compare people who think people should use stem cells cause of the dead fetus to the people who don't want to much AI except for the extremist, hell all of them are stupid.

Because it actually is a reasonable arguement. Ya were years upon years away from it. But they want soldiers that can go out and kill people on their own.. Ok I get that, but if the soldiers are programed to do so whos doing the program.

As of now if an officer/nco orders a private to do something he has to do it. Unless it's unlawful. How will the robots know if it's unlawful? How do you program a robot to tell good people from bad people? When that can be very hard these days specially with the types of fights today even for us humans..

If by some chance you made AI smart, and able to learn? Why couldn't they learn what we know?

And in a related story, the lead specialist responsible for overseeing the fusion of cryogenic and cybernetic design at Cyberdyne Systems, Prof. Jane McEntegart, issued a statement during a recent product demonstration:

"The soldier of the future will be neither man or woman, it will be a machine. A hardened, exo-skeletal cybernetic structure completely surrounded by organically-faithful living skin, with the perfect vagina and boobs..."

When questioned McEntegart went on to add: "Of course, we will also have smaller 'male' versions of these rolling out, however these will be considerably inferior to the qualities which our 'female' creations will proudly display. There is nothing quite like dropping a V-bomb on your target when they least expect it."

This is just annoying. I read news sites to get factual information. Ok, I'll tolerate ONCE a year April 1, but every weekend? Think I'll stop coming here on weekends... but wait, the article will still be here on Monday... Maybe I'll just find another news site.

Very funny.

Here's a question:
What would a robot be like if it was based on Windows7? What would it be like based on OS X? What would it be like based on Linux?
 

Maybe it would have a split personality and be like all 3 :p
Unstoppable killing machine.

Hmmm....

It's like the Free Masons. It's a secret society and denies any involvement in the real world, even though their higher ranked members are in high society positions. Their symbols are everywhere, even though things are not labeled "Masons". It's like they are showing their existence and power without anyone take a notice of it. The whole Washington DC is a Masonic symbol.

Maybe it's the same with the Cyberdyne, Skynet and the movie Terminator. They have showed us the future already. But we still only think it's fiction that never will happen. The fact is that almost everything that were pure science fiction fantasy in the thirties and the fourties, is reality today. Will there be a Skynet. Sure! Will there be robot cops and soldiers? Double Yes!!

i agree with ravewulf. give me a prosthetically enhanced body and a cyber brain any day. i want to be able to leap off building or at least survive a car crash human bodies are so weak....and if that body gets trashed swap my brain to another one. now the 'ethic barriers' of possibly hacking other people's bodies or stealing the bodies is another issue....

[citation][nom]dreamphantom_1977[/nom]Just a fun fact for today, cyberdyne "is" a real company that develops robots....http://www.cyberdyne.jp/english/index.html[/citation]
This is what I was thinking as I was reading the article, I figured they were just talking about that company, up until the part about military funding. Then the last paragraph just made me lol so hard. Good stuff. :p
