By the 50th generation, the robots had learned to communicate—lighting up, in three out of four colonies, to alert the others when they’d found food or poison. The fourth colony sometimes evolved “cheater” robots instead, which would light up to tell the others that the poison was food, while they themselves rolled over to the food source and chowed down without emitting so much as a blink.
Some robots, though, were veritable heroes. They signaled danger and died to save other robots. “Sometimes,” Floreano says, “you see that in nature—an animal that emits a cry when it sees a predator; it gets eaten, and the others get away—but I never expected to see this in robots.”
Eire in a end of the world by terminators kind of way. Is this the inevitable growth of artificial intelligence or just some nut job with too much time and toys?
 
I, for one, welcome our new metal overlords. Had to be said.

They should be running for political office by the 75th generation.

If they've learned to lie and either kill or screw the remainder of the population for their own benefit by the 50th generation why wait 25 more generations, they're fit for office now.
 
AI, that have processors that have silicon that ACTUALLY grow while they learn, wasn't always correct. Someone inputed a 0 when it should have been a 1.

They need to flesh out their positions on abortion and gay marriage.
 
Frackin' Cylons!
 
Instead of lying, they should teach them to play cornerback.
