Robot Apocalypse report!:

Japan introduces snow eating robot that excretes ice blocks :

http://en.rocketnews24.com/2014/12/02/a ... %E3%80%91/

"Now, in
case you’re filled with images of potential
carnage caused by a small child blithely
toddling in the way of Yuki Taro’s
munching jaws, fear not! Yuki Taro is a
snowtarian (noun: one who eats only
snow and snow-derived products) and is
able to recognize human obstacles in its
path and re-navigate accordingly, thanks
to its stereo vision and infrared sensor."

Sounds to me that if it can recognize humans, that means it can choose to eat them if it feels like it.

ROBOT APOCALYPSE NEWS ALERT

Stephen Hawking,"the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
Prof Hawking says the primitive forms of artificial intelligence developed so far have already proved very useful, but he fears the consequences of creating something that can match or surpass humans.

ROBOT APOCALYPSE NEWS ALERT

New Bruce Willis movie is essentially plotted around a theme park where you can murder human like robots. One of the robots gains sentience and tries to escape. PhillyGundamnFan editorial, "I praise this trailer for showing violence against robots, but condemn it for acting like they're people."
