So we have all these cautionary tales about the interesting ways robots might malfunction given a bit of intelligence. There's even the Mickey Mouse "Sorcerer's Apprentice" cartoon on the fantasy side. But it already happens in real life. For instance, there's the story of the squirrel and the beet root pellets. I'll remember that one the next time I have my wistful dream about an intelligent house full of little cleaning and maintenance and security bots.
Silly mortals. Walking around with your lattes and MP3 players and your Web 2.0. You think you're so great. Great between two pieces of bread with a light spread of mustard, maybe. Just you wait. When the Monster Mayhem breaks out, then shall we see who is greatest!
