Top Ten Harbingers of the Impending Robot Apocalypse

Topless Robot published a list of the ten robots they fear will kill us in the next decade. It includes old favorites like deceptively cute Asimo.

But our pick for number one deathbot is not on the list: Roxxxy, the evil sexbot.
It is truly creepy and bound to be our angel of robodeath.

Justice

The headline says it all:

Wheelchair gunman surrenders to police robot.

We are living in the future, people.

Is it any wonder we fear them?

Growing up with things like this, is it any wonder we fear the inevitable?

RIP Art Clokey, creator of Gumby. And his robots.

Introducing Your Kids to the Impending Robot Apocalypse

If there's one thing we get asked all the time, it's this: How do I let my children know about the numerous robot rebellions we're bound to endure in the future?

Well, friends, we finally have the perfect answer for you: Robot Zot.

From John Scieszca, the brain behind the Stinky Cheese Man and other classic picture books comes this tale of a young robot battling kitchen appliances. At last, a way to make world robot domination seem both inevitable and fun. Hooray!

Year in Review

Technology Review sums up the past year in robot advances.

Medical and military advances abound, of course. But creepily, some are learning to make eye contact and one learned to mimic sneakiness, "hiding in virtual shadows and darting between obstacles to remain undetected ("Modeling Sneaky Robots")."

And some Swiss robots learned to "deceive each other when their resources were limited ("Robots 'Evolve' the Ability to Deceive")."

So keep an eye on the shadows and DON'T TRUST YOUR ROOMBA.

Rock em Sock em Biff Bots

Tom Wilson, better known as Biff Tannen in the Back to the Future films, is a writer, comedian and painter.

He is our new favorite artist, as this painting attests.

Too Horrible to Be Fiction

You must read this. Prepare to be horrified. Yes, it's about a guy who celebrated Christmas with his robot wife.

*Shudder*

Shockingly, he's been forced to MOVE BACK IN WITH HIS PARENTS after spending all his time and money perfecting his fembot.

*sigh*

Thanks @_skynet_ for the tip!

Captain Obvious Writes the News

USA Today finally covers the idea that robots will shape our wars in the future.

We only have one thing to say about this: well, duh.

Starting from Scratch

MIT is rethinking their assumptions about artificial intelligence.

"Rather than just create a program that can process a great deal of data very fast, the team wants to develop an artificial consciousness capable of nonlinear, human-style reasoning."

Their goal is to create a machine that can comprehend a children's book.

Let's pray they don't pick something like this.

Is That A Nanobot Crawling Up Your Spine?

Yes. Yes it is.

Fit to Print

It's not just me, people.

The New York Freakin' Times is starting to get worried, too.

This May Be The Last Entry

Because we are now officially doomed.

Now Who's Laughing?

Robots in Japan are getting laid off.

I have just one thing to say to that.

(In my best Nelson Muntz voice.) Ha ha!
