And with an infinite number of monkeys in front of the keyboard, they’ll eventually type out the complete works of Shakespeare…. The thing to do is to keep them focused on the job at hand… Shakespeare or robocar? That is the question 😉
A friend of mine said he trained monkeys to fly airplanes while in the Air Force, I didn’t believe him until he showed me photos. Later I saw the movie, Project X, and figured out what he was doing.
All the monkeys need is some time. It required finite monkeys and finite time to produce the works of Shakespeare the first time around.
So I’m reading the new book Robopocalypse, which is a most excellent read, and on p.101 (binary no less), I witness the zero hour of the uprising:
"The cars… The cars are hunting people and there’s nobody in them and, oh my god. Run!
The smart cars have come alive. Other vehicles too. They’re on autopilot and killing people."
By the same roboticist Ph.D. author as the earlier primer on how to survive the whole gambit:

One of my recurring dreams……. =8-o But usually I wake to find that it is only the mechanic handing me the repair bill. Cars are like kids, as long as we keep paying the bills, they stay in line…
That’s funny…I took exactly the same screenshot on Aug 17. Filename: youtube_fail.png
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/59996489@N00] has a good point and as for monkeys flying planes there’s a joke in the airline industry that says all that’s needed in the modern cockpit is a pilot and a dog. The pilot is there to monitor the instrumentation and the dog is there to bite him if he touches the controls.
In the not too distant future, when we get rid of both, then we can get rid of airport security lines too (from TSA brainstorming session)
