I don't really want to think about Humanoid Robots. Movies like The Terminator series evoke scary scenarios if these things get out of control.

If you're worried about robots killing you, them being bipedal is hardly your biggest concern.

Dude, I know this is conspiracy level shit but I'm convinced the singularity already happened about 5-10 years ago. I just think the impact is pretty small so far.

But yeah, bipedal movement and humanoid appearance is probably the least of our concerns. Almost everything is attached to global networks. Our financial industries, our media, or infrastructure. An AI could be fucking our shit up already.

With a basic understanding of human psychology, and AI learning, AI could already be programming US through things as subtle as and innocuous as Google search results or subtle changes to ads we see, and we wouldn't even know it.

I for one embrace our robot overlords and will gladly contribute to our future savior Roko's basilisk. :P
