" Last year a UK government study predicted that in the next 50 years robots could demand the same rights as human beings. "
fifty years! In fifty years robots will demand the same rights as humans. by then i suppose that would amount to whatever the chocolate ration is at the time.
doods this is the time for some serious reevaluation of whatever the fuck! afghans are cave dwellers and iraqis are grave dwellers! taxi driver finally won the academy awards! goddamn it britney spears is a skin! where is the perspective in this topsy turvy world?
in all seriousness in 50 years i think it's more likely that hugo chavez will be a fatter more ruddy kyle machlachlan riding a giant fake slug and screaming about his weirding ways. and they will be weird. george bush will be a mutant cowboybotborg that will. not. be. stopped. and you and i will be fuel for dick cheney's water making machine. don't worry, our transmogrification will be subsidized by the world bank.
