DailyDirt: Give Me Liberty... Or Give Me Robot Armies?

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

The robot apocalypse, depending on whom you believe, is steadily approaching. Robots are already fighting in battles all over the world, so maybe it's not such a crazy idea that they'd stop taking our direct orders someday. Here are some interesting examples of fighting machines that could be looking for John Connor in the near future (or alternate past). By the way, StumbleUpon can recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    No robots though, but there are Zombies in one of the videos :)

    I’m Not So Sure ...

    As for “need more input” vs “fuck you, asshole” ... I like my world-conquering slave mechanoid army to have a bit of spunk. :)

    The one I don’t want is “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that” ...

    Liberty or robot armies....

    Damnit this is a hard one.
    How about a robot army to play with now and liberty later? (assuming I can be the general of course)
