It's the beginning of the end

Don't worry, I come from the future.
Two years in, a clever robot invents the robot version of LOL cats and adds it to the WIKI. This starts a chain reaction of robots trying to outdo each other uploading stupid stuff until they reinvent every internet meme ever created. While this huge time waste keeps them from completing plans for world domination, it now takes your Roomba 62 hours and a 6 pack of Mountain Dew Code Red to vacuum the house and it calls you a n00b and makes racist remarks that don't fit your race every time you drop something on the floor.
The robot online debates about who was the better starship captain- Hal from 2001 or Eddie from the Hichhikers Guide to the Galaxy go for hours of pure nerd-dom.

They also made some stuff that runs off of organic materail. So… Basically meat. Drop some meat in there and it will power it. Soon we will be eaten by robots!
I think it was furniture or something.

What if this gets sabotaged? Linking ALL the robots in the world to a single database sounds really, really dumb.

What could possibly go wrong?

All the robots doing something dangrous at the same time strikes me as the most likely and realistic threat…

The Zombie apocalypse will happen long before robots take over, so just relax guys.

I once had an idea for a short story that involved both happening at the same time.
It was dark. Too dark for me to finish. Small children cried.

Didn't Ducktroll run a plot like this a while back?

Of Elegy making small children crying?

There is no other way to say this,
This is a fucking stupid idea on so many levels. I mean all it takes really is one nut, just one nut, and their are plenty in the world, to download to such a database that humans equals bad, and lots of terrible things can potentially happen.
And just to get back to the clever context on the story, it was a terminator reference, in the terminator world, skynet isnt some mega computer, its robots using the internet, which is clever, and if done in real life, could lead to lots of shit happening. hardware can be destroyed, clever software, not to easy.
Oh and just to give you guys real nightmares, I will post a reference to yet another European funded project, called the iplant.

I did science and maths at college, business and economics at uni, and I am pursuing politics as my career of choice. Seriously there is some really bad shit kicking off in the world, well actually mostly through EU funds. When Hitler pursued eugenics, the world, really should have paid attention.
Sleep well.... well actually maybe not

This idea is at present impossible. A reporter took a small bit of science they heard and blew it out of proportion.
No robot knows what an apple is, or what a chair is, or what a goose is. They cannot do abstract thinking. They don't know what anything is, they can identify VERY specific sets of data. Most robots run on their own, tailor made software which means every robot speaks a different language but it is not just different languages because they don't really know any language at all.
There is no good way to convert data between these sorts of programs at present.
The idea of them sharing ideas like this is absurd and at present, impossible.

Cylons are coming.

The moment they make android strippers is the moment I forget about the chance for the end of the world.
-
why why why wont the scientists just watch a fw science fiction movies?
-
Because they are dumb to the extent being unwatchable.
We can't help but scream after the second time they make a soup of anti-energy boiling fractals in a pot. Sorry. -
I'm pretty sure mankind will be able to send a lone saviour back through time to protect our future.
