Mr. Robot.


This is coolbert:

Here is more on how DARPA [Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration]is funding projects for the development of robotics using Artificial Intelligence [AI] for military purposes. NOT in the fruition stage. But steadily heading toward it. The stuff of the "Terminator" movies is becoming fact.

"Self-learning and adaptability will be the key to success"

NOT just robots as we understand a robot. Thinking robots for military purposes. "Self-learning and adaptable"

"Perhaps the most impressive -- and spookiest -- aspect of the project is the swarming behavior of the robots. In computer simulations, they acted together to tackle obstacles and grouped together into defensive formations where needed, Thaler said. They also worked out how to deal with defenders, and spontaneously devised the most efficient strategy for mapping their environment, he added."

Robots that have learned to fight as SOLDIERS. Act and fight as a team to overcome obstacles and achieve the objective. And evidently come to this conclusion on their own. By the innate AI they are programmed with. This DOES sound like "Terminator" stuff!!

Damn!! Skynet is closer than we thought. Ready people!

coolbert.
