I try and I try to warn about the robot menace, but nobody listens to me. Every day some new story about robots getting smarter, scientists teaching them to stab people, etc. Quite frankly, I don’t know why the scientists even make them.
First off, the most dire news I have probably ever heard…a computer gave birth to a new life form. A computer actually created a DNA sequence, inserted it into an existing organism, and then got that organism to reproduce. This is the first time that someone (or something) was able to create a DNA sequence that was actually able to perpetuate itself.
Read that paragraph about 3 times and if you’re not too frightened to go on, let me tell you about this one. A robot actually performed a science experiment. That doesn’t sound scary until you consider what that means: a robot was able to perform a task, learn from its failure, modify the task and keep going until it got it right.
Did you buy some of that robot insurance I mentioned? Humans united against robots.
Did you hear about the scientist that said he created life? God paid him a visit, and the scientist said he would be glad to show Him how he did it. “First,” the scientist said, “I take this plain dirt.” “Hold it right there,” said God, stopping him. “Get your own damn dirt.”
