How can I not link to a Gizmodo post about robots giving birth to other robots? My favorite bit from the MSNBC story Gizmodo links to comes near the end: "A human always is in the loop because the military doesn't want to give machines complete discretion", followed a few sentences later by: "Jimenez said he found the laptop controls easy to use. "If somebody that uses PlayStation or X-Box, that type of thing, it's right up their alley." Pop quiz: who do you trust at the controls of a patrol robot: a computer, or a gamer?
