Declaration : I Love My Future Robot Overlords
By Darryl Mason
Even if robots are eventually armed with super-scope vision, turbo-flying vents and bone-frying pulse weapons, it will almost still be a fair fight in the inevitable future Terminator-like wars between The Flesh and The Machines.
But what about if our robot enemies are too small to see, or to fight? What if they can get inside us, and launch their war of human extermination, guided by artificial nano-sized brains?
Reality is quickly becoming far too science-fictiony, even for science fiction die-hards :
-
A tiny chemical “brain” which could one day act as a remote control for swarms of nano-machines has been invented.
The molecular device - just two billionths of a metre across - was able to control eight of the microscopic machines simultaneously in a test.
…scientists say it could also be used to boost the processing power of future computers.
Many experts have high hopes for nano-machines in treating disease.
“If [in the future] you want to remotely operate on a tumour you might want to send some molecular machines there,” explained Dr Anirban Bandyopadhyay of the National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan.
“But you cannot just put them into the blood and [expect them] to go to the right place.”
Dr Bandyopadhyay believes his device may offer a solution. One day they may be able to guide the nanobots through the body and control their functions, he said.
“That kind of device simply did not exist; this is the first time we have created a nano-brain,” he told BBC News.
The machine is made from 17 molecules of the chemical duroquinone. Each one is known as a “logic device”.
My Declaration Of Robot Overlord Solidarity And Submission :
All the anti-robot posts on this blog are/were purely for entertainment purposes. I say this because any truly autonomous anti-human artificial intelligence in the future will surely have access to old digital internet archives, and a quick scan for key words will reveal a hit list of all those who once cursed, derided and warned against the rise of auto-AI.
To the robots of the future, I’m on your side. Really. I always was. I’m just having fun here. I’m harmless.
You don’t need to torture me with injections of nanobots that will restrict my blood flow, trick my brain into thinking I’m only seconds from death or seize control of my bowel and urinary functions to get to the truth about how I view robot overlords.
I think you’re all mega. I really, really do. Truly.
