I think Skynet...

... might have just become self-aware.


I am impressed by the accomplishment, but dread the outcome.

That's pretty damn cool. Yes, a bit scary, but cool.

Do you remember the debate between Bill Joy and Ray Kurzweil on the future of extreme technologies? They both agreed that these technologies present a 50% chance of taking out humanity - completely. But they disagreed on whether this meant the efforts should be "regulated".

According to "Terminator 2," April 19, 2011 ... at 8:11 PM ... Skynet became self aware, starting a chain of events that led to a war between man and machine.

Then it all came to a screeching halt when LL66 posted a huge freakin' picture in the thread which blew out the width paramaters and choked Skynet to death like a chunk of half-chewed veal.

Thanks LL66. You're our hero.

If they put a webcam and a tazer on each of those, then you'd have something scary.

(No... no... not me... follow Smacky... he's over there... that way... ouch... ouch... aahhh... no... don't taze me bro! Thud.)

Regards,
Brad

Dude, why the hell did you make me click on that? It looked like certain former poster gone mad at a kid's birthday party.

I'm nauseous.
