Ok, so we're doooooomed

Ok, no, it's only 1.30pm, I'm NOT drunk and shouting "doooooomed" as I often do. I'm completely serious about this.




Britain just completed SkyNet.




"Skynet 5 is the latest iteration of a global communications system deployed by the British Armed Forces. The final satellite in the system was launched this week, and will allow high-bandwidth telecommunications between British forces located anywhere in the world. In addition to voice communications, it will allow data transfer and the remote control of robot airplanes, one of which is called "The Reaper." One of the manufacturers was quoted by BBC News as saying: "So, computers can talk directly to computers."

So guys... robots are beginning to be able to self-replicate, SkyNet's been built... we're on a slippery slippery sci-fi movie apocalypse.






You know, in my many apocalytpic-survival plans, I dind't count on the fucking TERMINATORS. Thanks a LOT Britain. Now I have to perfect time travel, and fast!
