Web-based ‘brain’ for robots goes live
Robots confused about what they encounter in the world of humans can now get help online.

Well, I am sad to say I didn’t see this one coming. It makes sense, though, and undoubtedly is a smart thing to do (particularly presuming you want to hasten the day when Skynet takes control). Scott Adams also has a piece that is apropos. I expect that the more sophisticated robots will use this information as guidelines only, so when the information gets hacked they won’t all the sudden go evil on us, but the less sophisticated ones might just take whatever it finds there as gospel and act on it without any consideration for what might have been gospel just a few minutes earlier.
Personally I hope that we get direct brain implants that will connect us to networks before we get assassinated by our robot slaves, at least that way I can enjoy my presumed enhanced intellect for a while before our demise.
