Oh Dear…well clearly the index cards to the plot of our eventual anhilation are being tacked to the wall with great care…we used to have to fear packs of wolves in the woods â€â€? in the future, rogue machines…

Scientist have long been striving to introduce degrees of darwinistic evolution into machine design and even computer based kinematics with varying degrees of success. The Lord Of The Rings Battle Scenes used thousands of ’smart’ stunt bots That acted of their own volition in a controlled environmentâ€â€? Things got a little strange, yes, when statistical variation produced orcs who chose to live by running away…What better evolutionary stimulus can we give to machines than having to Eat/Kill to live ? One can only imagine the ‘modeling’ going on right now…How long before they feed on bigger animals ? How long before they develop pack tactics ? etc.
