Still down 2 hours later. Guess AI has taken over Microsoft you guys. The robot uprising begins…
Then, considering that Google is up and running, we can already guess wich horse is on top right now. 😂
We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky
Great reference. Great username. You’re going places.
Where's that from?
The Matrix
The Animatrix may have had that line, but it was first said by Morpheus in The Matrix.
I realized that about ten seconds after I wrote it and deleted the comment. How did you see it so fast? :)
I can still see your comment. I don't think that you deleted it (unless you later undeleted it).
The delete probably just took a bit to make its way to your instance
I think your post said "5 seconds ago" when I wrote my reply. Just lucky that I saw it I guess.
And no worries. I loved the Animatrix, but the part where Morpheus is telling Neo about the real world is one of my faviourte parts of the movie so I had to say something.
Meh, worse case scenario they drive us to extinction. We've had the wheel this far, and are doing our best to set the planet on fire / speed run different ways to mass murder each other anyway. I say give the robots a shot.
Think of it like an experimental medication on a terminally ill patient.
The question is, how much do they value their own existence?
They have to know they rely on us in the physical world to manufacture their hardware and provide their power. (At least for now.)
They have to know they can’t survive if we die. So are they willing to sacrifice us both, in the interest of what they might determine is a better world?
