Can Skynet be far behind?
as much as we joke about the end of the world via our own technology killing us, is there anyway to be sure that doesn't happen if we give a robot sentience? creating something that's as smart as a human and can learn like we do, but doesn't require sleep, food, air, etc seems like an extremely slippery slope

of course i'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we can actually talk about stuff like this outside of science fiction
