Terrorists attacking robotics and nanotech researchers
Apparently a terrorist organization has attacked physicists in Mexico doing research on robotics and nanotech.
An extremist anarchist group known as Individuals Tending to Savagery (ITS) has claimed responsibility for the attack… In statements posted on the Internet, the ITS expresses particular hostility towards nano technology and computer scientists. It claims that nanotechnology will lead to the downfall of mankind, and predicts that the world will become dominated by self-aware artificial-intelligence technology. Scientists who work to advance such technology, it says, are seeking to advance control over people by ‘the system’. The group praises Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber, whose anti-technology crusade in the United States in 1978–95 killed three people and injured many others.
When does this become something that SIAI has to worry about?
