Did any of you happen to witness the UN's (United Nation's) moratorium on autonomous weapons (armed robots) in combat a while ago? I heard that it was interesting. Apparently, some people who were concerned about the kinds of stuff that happened in sci fi media such as the entire TRANSFORMERS franchise, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (196?), WARGAMES (198?), the TERMINATOR franchise, and the MATRIX movie series wanted to discuss the topic of SS (synthetic sentience, or artificial intelligence; AI) being allowed to make LETHAL decisions about killing Human terrorists on its own. I heard that it was very intense too. Does anyone know what happened and where I can see a video of that moratorium? Anyway, I know that some of you are actually OK with the idea of machines killing people; just hope that those machines never confuse you with the people on the other side like the way they have been known to get other things confused - like license plates at traffic stops, for example. Anyway, I would suggest that every who is really into independent robotics and AI (artificial intelligence) read the late Issac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics .

Check out this supercomputer complex over in China: Link 1 and Link 2 . Also, speaking of self-aware supercomputers - I am working on something dealing with SS myself; I came up with several acronymic computer names such as DRON, DREC (or DREK), KRAW, VICK (or VIC/VIK), VERA and PINC (or PINK). (DRON, DREC, KRAW, and VICK are sentient supercomputers with masculine voices; VERA and PINC - obviously - have feminine voices.) Does anyone here have a good idea as to what each supercomputer's acronymic name should stand for? I have unsuccessfully racked my brain several times, so I am going to ask for a little help from some of you. What should DRON and the rest of those acronymic supercomputer names stand for? ( Just think of HAL from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, WOPR from WARGAMES, VICKI from I, ROBOT starring Will Smith and KITT from KNIGHT RIDER. All of these self-aware supercomputers had nice names that were acronyms!) If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!
