So seriously, what happens when they absorb the general knowledge of how to be violent? I'm sure they aren't purposefully feeding it violent situations, but everyone always talks about how much there is just casually laying about in our media, and the article makes it clear there's at least some facilities capable of building on abstract knowledge. I'm not talking about a spontaneous uprising, either, really... more generic hacking gaining the tools to literally punch people through the internet with their DrinkFetch® or CookMake® drones.

On second thought, never mind, carry on.

I'm pretty sure that robot would develop a serious case of split personality disorder.

Skynet, but with more cats.

[Lagslayer]

If this thing is capable of motion, it will inevitably go on a killing spree and rape the corpses, all while singing the Trololo song or something equally trollish at the top of it's (metaphorical) lungs and making cat videos, and quite possibly painting swastikas on everything. Either that or it'll immediately invoke godwin's law on itself and the positive feedback flame wars will cause it to go up like a nuke, because it needs all that power to be so complicatedly stupid and chaotic.

These people want to control robots with the entirety of the Internet.

Here is my suggestion for the mandatory robot acronym:

B.A.S.E.M.E.N.T. D.W.E.L.L.E.R.
o s e  n e  l e o
t s  a t  c e r  o
   i  r  i  h c d  l 
   s c t a  t       
   t h y n  r       
   e       i  i     
   d      c  c
           a   
            l
           
           
       
I will leave the second word for anyone who wants it, formatting is becoming hard to control.

I wonder if I ordered it to read all my posts on this forums if it would be able to take over writing my posts for me on similar topics.

EDIT: Thanks for the code tag.

Or just, you know, do it horizontally.

Image of an object captured using entangled photons.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Wow. That is honestly much cooler than I expected. Though I feel like the setup they used to capture that image is a bit more complicated and involved than implied in the article.

[Arx]

I don't really like New Scientist's articles either, but they seem to tend have the breaking news, so I end up just using them because I can't find another source.

[RedKing]

Fuck it. We've got past science to wizzahrd type shit.

[Arx]

Fuck it. We've got past science to wizzahrd type shit.

I still have difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that we've had teleportation for a few years now. Sure, it's only information, and sure it's slow, but the information never crosses the intervening space.

[Putnam]

It's not even information. Seriously, try to get some information out of quantum entanglement.

[kaian-a-coel]

Fuck it. We've got past science to wizzahrd type shit.

What's the quote? "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"?

But in all seriousness, if I understand the article correctly, we're shining light on an object and on a camera, separately. And the camera capture the image of the object.
It's the equivalent of filming stuff by pointing a flashlight at it.

...

Okay I'm calling magic on that one too.

Vwat? Link me please (to a decent explanation)
