The Onion: Are we giving robots too much power?

This video set my imagination going, and I was surprised that I didn't feel disturbed at all by the whole concept. If we could create a large number of hyper-intelligent, self-replicating robots - why not let them replace us?

Let's go for it.

That was hilarious! I love ONN.

If you want to read a great, short, fiction book about this topic - check out The Eternal Enemy by Christopher Pike. It's one of my favorites.
