Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Which appears to be arming Skynet to the teeth. ;-)

And while I for one hail our new robotic overlords, I do question whether the use of drones is really going to help things here. May I ask, WTF happened to actually making Androids / Gynoids as per the original thinking? When did that dream go out of style? If you are going to create a new 'race' of beings...are you not going to attempt to create something equal or better to your own? Ultimately, anyway. Having a swarm intelligence AI is...well, primitive compared to what the human form offers.

Granted, but the other problem exists...without creativity, you become a soul-less automaton. Your whole world is a static dying place...dead because no new life is growing in it.

And when they finish one, offer them another piece. Then another. Sooner or later, the chocolate will kick in, and drive them out of their funk.

Have they tried chocolate? I cannot imagine even a suicidal person turning down a good piece of chocolate before they go...with the emphasis being on 'good' as opposed to popular or chic.

So...they're just drawing up job requirements for people who don't exist yet...with some solid belief that someone will come along to fit that slot. That doesn't sound right...

Again, sounds like temporal reverse engineering. Giant tug of war over people from the future stealing from people in the past, and people in the past stealing from people in the future.

So...no actual thinking going on there, just filling out forms, going through the motions / gestures. In short, no caring.

I take it it doesn't bother you that someone has been stuck in the same job for several years...that that might be unhealthy.

what this* might be doing to Time or Space.

I don't want to tell you what might be doing to Time or Space.

Given the job requirements, it's almost like someone is engaging in temporal reverse engineering to make people come into existence for exactly the job qualifications that are then posted.

It's so Evil, it's super Evil.

The HCI touch screen interface for tablets / cellphones is, IMHO, downright awful right now.

And they see nothing wrong with that...

Indeed. And it seems insane that children should 'cost' so much; I say 'cost' because we are talking about a human life here.
