Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man

From the NY Times

Despite the many posts about the singularity I have on here, I'm also a stone-cold believer in the possibility that the robot race will simply rise up and start blasting ass with fricking laser-beam eyes and all that. Man has a loooooooong history of realising something's out of control at the last minute and then acting. With climate change, there's a chance that we'll reverse it in time and avoid flash-frying ourselves. But when you're dealing with an intelligence, how the hell do you go about reversing that, without having to destroy the very thing you have created (and indeed, probably now rely on to make you dinner or somesuch).
