7 December 2018 - kill all humans
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Would it be such a surprise if a robot wanted to kill all humans,
like in a B movie? It goes without saying that we will build robots
to eliminate cockroaches. And mosquitoes. And mice. And then the local
invasive species. The programmers will give their bosses a skeptical
look and generalize it, writing code to eliminate all vermin, and it
will pass tests and be released. There it is. We’ll be one bug away
from being squashed like bugs.
