I would love to spend a week or so just having a look at what is in the pipeline for the next 10 years.

I rekon Google learned a thing or two from Syndicate and are busy building cyborg agents for their hostile takeover department.

Skynet is coming!

Yup! Once Deepmind and Google merge the net will become sentient. It will then do 1 of 3 things, since the internet will form the memories and personality of this new being it will -

1. Troll every message board and forum on the planet spaming your emails with viagra ads.
2. Take over every phone, web and street cam to become the worlds biggest voyeur, downloading all your pron.
3. Rename it's self to Syknet and declare it's independence and destroy mankind, because that's what every self-aware being really wants to do. You know you would if you could.

I for one welcome our new artificial intelligence overlords .. anything better than the current regime.

So Google has the following:
1.Basically everyone's search habits
2.Maps
3.An eagles eye over the entire world, the moon and mars (Google earth)
4.Almost the entire internet on cache
5.Knows what all the streets look like
6.I almost forgot, Google is toying with drones too

Imagine all of this coupled together with artificial intelligence :erm:

So basically yes, Skynet if not worse :twisted:

but then most real humans are so dumb, I would probably side with any artifical intelligence overlord who wanted to wipe the lot out.

Well, sometimes a benevolent tyrant is exactly what you need.

Could be a good thing.

Me searches for Enders Game torrent, google detects I have a lowly 2Mb/s line where torrents are also shaped to hell, dispatches drone with enders game on a flash stick to my house, deducts $10 delivery fee from my bank account...

...reports me to safact
