pursuing Strong AI for decades *unsuccessfully* and now people
fear it will happen accidentally because too many people are
working on too many lines of code.  Yeah. Unless the military
has a super-secret self-learning CPU somewhere, this is
completely moot. The only way we are going to get to a 'Skynet
situation' is if technology advances to the point where silicon
and software are both able to change on their own with zero
input from us squishies. Also, why does AI automatically mean
'death to humans'? I realize the article is talking about
military AI/robotics, but I'd highly recommend reading any books
of the 'Bolo' series by Keith Laumer. They're great reads with a
prime example of AI that doesn't view humanity as something to
be exterminated (and Bolo's themselves are weapons of war).  RE:
