The Wake

You know that part in the beginning of The Matrix where that spermy-looking thing gets sucked out Neo’s body? Well, in about 20 years, that little guy could be inside all of us, according to a US inventor

I came across this scary story from the jolly old BBC that says “machines will achieve human-level artificial intelligence by 2029.” Leading US inventor Ray Kurzweil, the inventor of text-to-speech technology and the first keyboard synthesizer, told the BBC at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston, that humans will eventually have tiny robots in their brains to make them more intelligent. This made me wonder if the d-bags who constantly raise their hands in class, and show-off the fact they read the material, are actually robots implanted by the university’s Driven to Discover campaign.

Kurzweil goes on to say that man and machines will merge around 2029 when humans start implanting devices in their bodies to stay healthy and become smarter:

“We’ll have intelligent nanobots go into our brains through the capillaries and interact directly with our biological neurons,” he told BBC News.

The nanobots, he said, would “make us smarter, remember things better and automatically go into full emergent virtual reality environments through the nervous system”.

Did this make anyone else shit their pants in fear of a robot takeover?? I am now under the impression that ever person I meet may be a T-1000 coming to kill me because in the future I eventually lead a human resistance to victory over the machines who tried to destroy the human race.

This BBC story also reminded me of an interview from The Colbert Report that me and my roommates ridiculed. Chess master and author of the book, “Love and Sex With Robots,” David Levy says that humans will be banging, loving and marrying robots within the next decades, not always in that order of course. He made sound like a crazy person, and he has really bad teeth, but he was awarded a PhD for his study of robot-human sexual relations. Though it was from a Dutch university, which cause Stephen Colbert to make a pot joke.

He says that those who will end up with robots will be those who are lonely, miserable and can’t establish personal connections with other humans. Women who fit that description already have access to these robots. Those, of course, are called vibrators.
