  • yes its creepy but why does everyone want us to die why not think of it as an adventure?

  • @donniedarkodevotte I am sure Mother Nature will thank the robots after they exterimate us.

    Once their mission is complete, they will have no further use for Earth and set out for outerspace. Leaving the Earth for Mother Nature and the Animals to take their course.

  • When the robot apocalypse finally happens, 2:26 will be the last thing you see before it crushes you under its massive feet.

  • I don't believe that iCub can acquire goals per natural language. So what does "... is *TOLD* to point to numbers" mean?

    Is there a human person in the rewarding loop, watching what the robot does and pressing a reward button whenever it points to the correct number?

    Or did some computer experts write a rewarding function in some *COMPUTER LANGUAGE* e.g. Java? The latter means that someone would have to learn Java to teach iCub new things. Calling this *TELLING* is rather perky.

  • @communistjesus It never ends with your morons and your culture memes.

  • And thus the real life terminator began..

  • shit i want 1

  • Patients in hospitals don't want to play games! They want to become healthy and get out!

  • would it have been to hard to have given it a child's voice.

    And For Sum reason I cant get Chucky out of my mind! LOL!

  • I cub? with "I", make think that is made by Apple XD
