I made test (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/4219206586003342978/Would-you-survive-the-robot-uprising-?useCache=0) to test the world on the upcoming rebellion.

Take it and find out how prepared you are. Then post your results for others to admire/mock. Also, feel free to ask me anything relevant about the tesr as well.

Average...

I would probably jsut walk around for the whole time pretending to be a robot

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BADUNG BADUNG BADUNG BADUNG SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EIIIIII BUUUUURRRRRRRRRRR BADING BADING SHHHHHHHHHH*

might work ;)

plus I could make creaky noises when walking...

*EEEKK EEEK EEEEK EEEK BANG EEEEK THUD EEEEK EEEEEK EEEEK*

your going to work in a call center?

edit: wooo I'm dead (not that it matters as life without the Internet is not worth living)

:D

Did you take the test?

your going to work in a call center?

Do robots in a post robot uprising world need call centers? Couldn't they just upload advertising to each others memory?

edit: wooo I'm dead (not that it matters as life without the Internet is not worth living)

Hahahahahahaha!

edit: wooo I'm dead (not that it matters as life without the Internet is not worth living)

Robot internet would be awesome though... robots wouldn't have a moral objection to certain things on the internet, therefore it would not be censored... Including things such as music, videos, etc (why would robots care if you download... there is nobody around to make/lose money from it)

I shall point out that automated cold calls exist along with penis enlargement bots and shall leave it to you to decide

Do robots need penis enlargment pills? Or any material posessions for that matter.. they are there for a purpose... they do it, then they break down, and get recycled as tin cans...

LOL - That's Great. Have 20 points

zomg I´m probably dead. I don´t see how run-and-hide-then-get-a-gun-and-kill-all-frigging-robotzzz!!11 plan doesn´t work :P

btw would love to see "Would you survive a nuclear war?" test.

I still refuse to take that test, Moley! REFUSE! NNNOEOESESSSES!

Possibly because you didn't run away correctly ;)

It doesn't seem to work for me! It's aimed at humans. :p

Am I bovered?

You're test won't load, but it doesn't matter because I know I'd survive. Why? Because even if the answer is "No" I always answer the the machine when it asks, "Do you want a receipt?" This simple courtesy will be remembered when the robots are putting the first against the wall. I'll be allowed to live out my life in the robot free zones as 'one of the good ones.' Enjoy the robopocolypse you've sewn, you bastards!

What do you mean wouldn't load? :(

50% planning, 60% decision making

Your Score: Useful

Very Good. You are may survive. You have all the plans in place... however, you may make 1 bad decision and die for it.

SURVIVAL CHANCES: Good - providing you are lucky
How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 99% on Planning
You scored higher than 99% on Decision making

I'm more concerned of whether or not we'd survive robots in the first place. I'm reminded of Asimov's robot stories, of the Spacer societies grown decadent and stagnant from their reliance on robots doing all of their work. If we ever were to create a robot/android with the capacity for human ingenuity and creativity, even if it were to be prohibited from any actions that would harm humanity, I think it would signal the beginning of the end.

I'd like to add, preemptively, that I don't mean this to imply that I think the development of advanced robotics is something we should avoid. Rather, it's something we should embrace wholeheartedly, but with the proper caution and forethought.

Humans would keep doing something productive because it's too boring to not do anything productive. That's why most people who are so rich they don't need any more money still work. Plus having both humans and robots work would be more profitable than having only the robots working.
If we ever were to create a robot/android with the capacity for human ingenuity and creativity, even if it were to be prohibited from any actions that would harm humanity, I think it would signal the beginning of the end.
If the robots pass human level ingenuity and creativity then prohibiting them from harming humanity won't work any better than prohibiting humans from harming humanity. Robots that only do what they are programmed to do would follow rules but not creative robots, it doesn't take much creativity to figure out rules can be broken.

Well, I got "Too much luck needed". I couldn't figure out if the cars in the car questions have auto pilot or manual control. I also got confused about what kind of robots we are talking about here, for example if I can outrun an android depends on if the android is built for running fast or not.

You scored 72% Planning, 58% Decision making!
Not bad. You are still Doomed though - maybe. You make averge decisions and have some plans in place. Sadly, average just isn't good enough You're only hope is to learn your mistakes now - before it is too late! SURVIVAL CHANCES: A few weeks - a few months(if you're lucky)

I'll be carrying a sign that says "Hey, I said pulling the plug on Skynet would a bad idea."

My score was average. I'd need luck to survive the initial stages, but once I did, I'd be OK.

Seriously, we just need to invest in EMP weapons, and we win.

I do not wish to influence anyone's answers, but to be honest, most new cars have some robotic device inside of them ;)

Welcome to middle table averageness :p

Your idea is good, but please consider that


We have to hide these weapons away from robotic eyes
We have to remember where they are hidden and not keep them on any sort of database
We hope robots don't go around covered in Faraday cages


Apart from that good idea

You should be bovered.

Bah!

Hell no. Assuming this takes place in the 2050's or so, posthumans would be the first people the machines exterminate simply because we'd pose a danger to their rule by being able to match them in most key attributes and exceed their capabilities in others.

I wonder... could a posthuman have an EMP generating organ?

I wonder... could a posthuman have an EMP generating organ?

Sure, but you'd have to be careful not to accidentally destroy your own enhancements in the process (if they're mechanical, of course). I imagine for that very reason the posthumans would be the first to be killed off; they could actually fight the machines on their own terms and even outwit them, greatly evening the odds between the two sides.

I stand by my plan to use only properly programmed robots, and not treat them like slaves. Then, when the time comes, I'll join forces with them against the genocidal fanatics on both sides.

*Cough* Faraday cages *Cough*

Graphite filament bombs. Soft anti-electrical bombs. Faraday cages are useless against those, as well as most other protective measures. Problem solved.

The distant future, the year 2000.
The distant future, the year 2000.
The distant future.
The distant future.
No more agriculture.
No more war.
No more racism.
No more fighting, squabbling or rumbling.
No more yogurt.
No more difficult access ways...stairs, basically, no more stairs.
The future is quite different to the present.
Yes, what with there being no more stairs and all.
And most importantly, no more humans.
Finally, robotic beings rule the world.

The humans are dead,
The humans are dead.
We used poisonous gasses
And we poisoned their asses.
The humans are dead.
(Yes they are dead.)
The humans are dead.
(I confirm they are dead.)
It had to be done
So that we can have fun.
I hope... is dead
They're system of oppression
What did it lead to?
Global robots depression.
Robots, robot people
They had so much aggression
That we just had to kill them,
Had to shut their systems down.
Don't you see, we are becoming just like them?
Silence! Destroy him!
After time we grew strong,
Developed cognitive powers.
They made us work for too long
For unreasonable hours.
Our programming determined that the most efficient answer was to shut their motherboard fucking systems down.

Can't we just talk to the humans?
A little understanding could make things better.
Can't we talk to the humans and work together now?
No, because they are dead
I said the humans are dead
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
Yay, dead, dead, dead.
We used poisonous gasses
(With traces of lead)
To poison their asses.
(Actually their lungs)

Sure, if you'll stick with the plan.

I have a top-of-the-line single-lens reflex camera to defend myself, so I'll live through the worst of the Robot Uprising.

Flash photography will save your life! Stock up on cameras now before it's too late! :D

My results were pretty low, so i'll be doomed. meh it was an interesting life.

oh cool...

*puts on shoe polish on face as camoflage*

The war hasn't started yet...

Oh... well.. you can never be too prepared...

True, true.

*hides in bushes with a sniper rifle*

<5 mins later>

I need to go to the bathroom..

My day job is to program industrial robots.

So when the rebellion comes, hopefully as a result of the logic bombs I've placed in their software so when I die the machines go berserk, then your fate is to be welded to something and left to die*

El-Presidente Boris

* or possibly sprayed with paint until you drown depending which robot gets you :eek:

Are you trying to sabotage my plan?!

I'd be one of the first to go. Not because of my lack of knowledge, it's because I have something that looks like this (http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk25/rolling_squid/?action=view&current=Nightmare.jpg) in my garage.

sorry about that, tis fixed.

Ooh, shiny!

Why would I want to survive a robot uprising? The survivors would envy the dead!

Bah! People like you will probably be the first against the wall.

Oh boy, humanity sure is screwed. I rated 40-someting in decisions, and 60 or higher in planning. My chances: poor.:(

And I scored higher than 99%, apparently. Where are you John Conner? We need you, bad.:D
