I was always wondering which one would become true first. Robocop or Terminator. With enough abuse of technological advances, both are only a matter of time.

I hope humanity figures out a peaceful utopia where everyone can be fed with tablets which give all nutrients and are freely distributed, and robots do work so humans don't have to. But looking at human history, I remain sceptical, it looks like the robocop/terminator scenario is more likely. Throughout history, humans have thrived for power and wealth accumulation, by peaceful or violent means. The day might come where many people will ask "how did we permit this to happen?". It will likely happen because the politicians , generals etc will say "like this, we don't have to risk human lives". They might be remote human operated at first, but the push for autonomous beta test will be inevitable. One bug or vulnerability will make the American police violence today look like a picnic in comparison. Maybe I am totally wrong, but this is a gut feeling.
