Good Job Guys!
Remember that Simpsons episode where Lisa frees the dolphin king and dooms the human race?. Follow closely: CNN reports that some geek with womb envy is teaching robots how to learn and walk like a toddler, "improving its step and balance with every stride" (with every stride - great!). It's a good thing that robots are learning to walk, because they're going to need to move quickly in order to be the kind of super-effective killing machines that the US army is training them to be. So at least they're taking care of that. And finally, seriously, how can this ever be a good idea:
Kim Jong-hwan, the director of the ITRC-Intelligent Robot Research Centre, has developed a series of artificial chromosomes that he says will allow robots to feel lust and could eventually lead to them reproducing. He says the software, which will be installed in a robot within the next three months, will give the machines the ability to feel, reason and desire.
No way this can go badly.
