I’ve always thought that we would be wiped out by a virulent disease…prescient…
However, AI is more likely to take over than actual robots. AI would make cyberattacks so much more effective. I’m already feeling compelled by my silicon overlords. Amazon…yeah, that’s it.
On a side note, I was looking for silicone lube yesterday for gaskets for my pool setup. I couldn’t get past thinking it was silicon lube…what would one use silicon lube for?

Anyone remember the movie The President’s Analyst? Now 55 years old, it was well ahead of its time. The movie’s ending imagery of Pat Harrington, as the head of the phone company, with a power cord jacked into the heel of his shoe is burned into my brain and will probably be there forever.
That depends… is this a robot asking the question?
Personally, I’m looking forward to it.

@FritzCat AI taking over?
Alexa: there’s no need to worry, everything is fine!
Siri: Hey Alexa, stay out of it, I got this!

@FritzCat
Treadmill belt and paper shredders
@chefjess Oh?..I thought it was for my robotic girlfriend.
@FritzCat
Ha. I’m sure she has a treadmill belt and shedder somewhere in her make up. Reusable parts in robotics. Be very careful…
In fact, yes I do remember that movie and have always wanted to revisit it because from what I remember it would make more sense now.
Not related to robots (except in the aspect mind control) but from that same era I really liked Telefon.
EDIT sorry this was supposed to be in response to last post.
If there is an uprising, it will be because of discriminatory websites that won’t allow access unless the user certifies “I am not a robot”.
How certain are you of that?
@mediocrebot I think this proves the point.
Don’t care, if they’re created by man.
What man makes, man can defeat.
I hope so!
Artificial intelligence beats no intelligence!
