DARPA: “we just finished playing Horizon: Zero Dawn and honestly, we think we can make this idea work.”
Obligatory “fuck Ted Faro”
My god, what a cunt.
Has no one played Horizon Zero Dawn?
I love how the quote cuts off right before “only goal”.
Onion? No? Great…
Next up “researchers wondered what would happen if they put AI to a machine that can consume humans for energy”
Sweet… early stages of the Faro plague
So it’s not supposed to be used to eat the dead, good. OMG. It’s supposed to eat the life ones!
Breaking: Company creates Torment Nexus
Now just make them sentient and self replicating and….
You either get Horizon Zero Down or replicators from Star Gate
Or paperclips!
If I’m gonna be eaten by a robot I’d much rather be dead first.
These robots don’t do that part. They will build new robots to make corpses for them.
Finally! A productive solution to mass graves!
What have I told you? People are a renewable resource!

Years ago I saw an article about a robot designed to hunt and kill insects as a healthier pest control mechanism in farming. That robot would put the insects into a hopper where they would be converted to fuel to run the robot.
I figured it wasn’t going to be too long before they’d be eating us.
