We all photograph every meal we ever eat. It’s the way the world has changed. But imagine if those same photos could tell us how many calories we are eating? Behold! The future!
This is equal parts scary and impressive I suppose. It can’t be long until robots take over the world but until they do we can enjoy some tasty recipes and perhaps rid ourselves of Gordon Ramsay.
Not to sound like a doomsayer but when they can make robotic dogs this realistic and intelligent, how long before artificial intelligence takes over the world? Although we’re probably safe down here for a while.
Wait, you’re telling me I’m going to be driven home by a car without a driver? Fine, but if they don’t do fast-food drive-throughs we are going to have a problem.
Remember your friend’s creepy aunt who spoke in a monotone voice and always wore a slightly odd expression? Here’s proof she may have been a robot.
Elon Musk has once against warned the human race of the dangers of developing artificial intelligence to a point where it has too much power.

Using the world’s largest photo gallery, a la Facebook, the company has created a program that can determine whether two photographed faces are of the same person with 97.25% accuracy. If you consider humans have 97.53% accuracy doing the same task, this program is mind blowing.
For as long as technology has existed, people have had nightmares of Nokia 3330’s and microwaves becoming conscious, hell-bent warlords, enslaving us in our sleep. On a serious note though, with the growing capacity of self-aware, self-improving machines, maybe it’s a touch normal to be afraid. That’s what Matt Miller of the Washington Post seems […]
Google and NASA are joining forces to create and study Artificial Intelligence. This new breed of super computer could change everything. The Quantum Computer will be programmed to behave like a human and make decisions based on the data it is provided with.
Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there have been machines popping up in jobs that us humans once did. A reported 1,1 million robots are amoung us in the working world. In 2011 the robot industry made a hefty R77 128 000 000,00 in sales on the estimated 160 000 robot units they sold. So, what […]
