Monty by Jim Meddick for March 29, 2019

It’s a shame that Doc can not do anything with the lack of intelligence of Monty and Moondog.

But what about the cute little robot fellah?

Does Doc intend to zap our pal?

Alexa, why is my toast glowing?

Why does he have to leave so fast? He can arrive anytime he wants!

Wow, John Conner really could’ve used you!

notice how he uses “malignant” and “sentient” as if they’re interchangeable in regard to AI? I want less Cameron and more Asimov up in this.

Hurry Doc. There’s a massive outbreak of malignant artificial intelligence in Washington…

Curious since A.I. isn’t brilliant at this time and very limited. But with the US military wanting a full 60% to be made up of armed robots and drones can be precarious. Now some countries want to end that and make it illegal. I don’t see the USA listening to them. And if they ever program them with survival instincts we will be in trouble. So far they haven’t. The first one with a very good brain and the ability to defend itself to continue to exist could be the beginning of a strained relationship with humanity.

Got my straw dobb dusted off and ready for spring. With you Moondog.

Where’s my Saturday Monty?

Testing: can I comment?
