Nature crushes our robotic overlords

Posted on March 15, 2008 by Danny

This is from some time ago, but still worth noting. If SkyNet was thinking about starting their world domination with robotic insects, they might want to think again. Nature is awesome.

    Wow. But how disappointing for the hawks, who settle in for some tasty flesh and just get metal and plastic. Unless they’re just hunting for sport, which has its own awesomeness.

    I love the look on that hawk’s face in the linked story, like, “You have got to be f#*king kidding me.”

    I kind of feel sorry for the bird. Okay, maybe it’s just another exercise for the raptor. I went to look at the dragoon fly. Is that real or just made up of parts? Okay, I am so 20th century but it does look awesome. So does the raptor with its catch.

    About nature:

    What I learned is that nature wants an idiot. That nature will find a way to repay us for what we are doing by say finding a drunk skipper of the Exon Valdez. Whamo, we are destroying ourselves and the planet. There are bound to be such opportunities for nature to find another idiot drunk at the switch, literally–that will damage the environment, poison us..

    Is nature the matrix? (movie fame) I read that we can estimate the power of a computer to simulate the universe as some astronomical figure. I wonder what version of Word they will use then?
