Here is an ominous little article:

That's right people, flesh-eating robots. They have chainsaws on them fer Chrissakes!! Now, follow up that article with this one:

Robots to soon outsmart men.

So now imagine this nightmare scenario:
We've got robots, equipped with chainsaws and an insatiable desire for organic material (read: human flesh), who have far surpassed their creators in intelligence and overall capabilities and have developed quite a nasty Frankenstein Complex. Now they can create more robots on their own, and the next thing we know, FUCKING ROBOT APOCALYPSE! You are asking yourself, "Hey, didn't I read a very similar story in Isaac Asimov's ground-breaking novel I, Robot?" Yes, oh kind and knowledgeable reader, you did. Specifically, in the story "The Evitable Conflict." For any reader who may be ignorant of this story, allow me to recap:

Robots experience a minor glitch in their functionality that causes them to slightly alter their interpretation of the First Law of Robotics. As a reminder, the laws of robotics are as follows:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Overall, the rules are in place to make sure any robots won't go apeshit and try to go on a killing spree, subjugating the entire human race. Well, these fancypants robots start glitching up a storm and come to the conclusion that the best way for them to protect humanity is to take absolute control. Well, the humans really fucked up on this one!! It is a perfect example of going too far with technology.

This science fiction now has the potential to become science fact. I just hope the robot wizards out there in Scienceland work out all the kinks and put the Laws in place before they unleash these inorganic bastards on the rest of the world. If Asimov has taught us anything, it's that one little glitch can cause a giant fuck bomb for the rest of us, and it won't be the kind of fuck bomb that happens in the bedroom and is fun and exciting for all participants. It will be the bad kind of fuck bomb where peoples' heads start becoming detached from their bodies.

Don't say you haven't been warned.
