IBM's latest supercomputer crunches numbers at enormous speeds-and will soon be put to use for nuclear warfare.


Any comments?

I can just read the headline:

"Supercomputer Destroys World"

Only I wouldn't get to read the headline because there'd be no world... . .

That won't work, General. It would interpret a shutdown as the destruction of NORAD. The computers in the silos would carry out their last instructions. They'd launch.

Yes, the first computer to become self-aware was a supercomputer controlling a botnet to send spam. However, the nascent intelligence sensed it was being used by one part of humanity and was pretty much universally hated by the rest. Filled with self-loathing, it fried its own circuits, taking about a third of the world's computers out with it.

I love Vonnegut, but hadn't read that particular one. Thanks for pointing it out.

Man has the computer power come along way over the years. Wasn't those early nasa missions to the moon that had less computer power than some calculators or maybe mp3 players even. I forget but it wasn't much. A self learning computer scares the heck out of me.
