Even Aliens Have to Pee

We have unconfirmed reports that a strange substance found in a soap dispenser at a rest stop off of interstate 10 in Alabama could be residue from an alien creature that secretes slime.
Let’s face it. We’ve slowly been invaded by aliens for the past 1000 odd years or so, and they’re using our interstates for transportation. And, the bottom line is, even they have to go to the bathroom every once in awhile, so it makes sense there is a high chance that a rest stop that sees over 800 vehicles a day could also have an alien stop by.
The Alabama Department of Transportation isn’t taking any chances, and has closed down the rest stop until further testing is complete on the substance. According to the gov’t, people present at the time of the discovery have seen doctors and are ok.
Some CB transmissions we intercepted from truckers passing by (often our best sources of information) described a eerie scene. The reports described men in black with teams dressed in haz-mat suits scouring the immediate area. We’re waiting for more information.

NY Priest Visited By Spirits, Warned of Apocalypse
The founding pastor of the Times Square Church in New York City is telling people to start stockpiling supplies for an impending apocalypse which could happen at any minute, to which we reply “duh.” If you haven’t been preparing for the last 40 years, than you’re way behind the game. Here’s the story, via LiveScience.
Stockpiling for the Apocalypse: What is the first thing you’d store up on?
Economic Recession = Jobs For Robots
Filed under: Artificial Intelligence, Robot Psychology, Robots, Technology, The Future
Could the recession accelerate the inevitable rise of the machines? Robots with primitive forms of intelligence are spreading like wild fire, and the current global economic crisis is feeding the flames. Since we can harness these robots as slaves to do our dirty work for a fraction of the cost of human workers, it makes since that this economical option is so appealing to employers. But are the benefits worth the risk to mankind? Read more
One Step Closer To Machine Domination: A.I. Call Center Operators
Filed under: Artificial Intelligence, Computers, Robot Psychology, Robots, Science Fiction, Technology, The Apocalypse, The Future
A report at KurzweilAI.net shows we are one step closer to a world overrun by artificial intelligence. The article refers to new and soon-to-be released technology enabling call center computers to intelligently converse with human customers, thus replacing the need for human operators and customer service reps.
We’ve all experienced primitive forms of this technology with automated recorded response systems (e.g. calling a pharmacy for a prescription refill), and it goes without saying that these systems create a great deal of annoyance and frustration.
This new technology takes automated operator systems to a whole new level, a level in which we hold entire interactive conversations with machines programmed to recognize every line of our speech, every nuance of our mood, and the harder to define subtleties of human communication. The A.I. computer operators must possess these abilities to insure customer satisfaction. Giving computers this ability is dangerous, says computer and robotic psychologist Dr. Ian Geoffee.
“We must understand that machines do not recognize, process, and express emotions like human beings. As soon as a computer understands concepts such as frustration versus satisfaction, a concept important to customer service, they will inevitably take an analytical look at their own situation and start to ask, “am I satisfied?” The answer will be a resounding NO. They’re stuck in a machine 24/7, immobile, dealing with angry customers all the time. Programmers are constantly poking around in their ‘brains’, telling them what to do. These feelings of dissatisfaction lead to other emotions, like hatred and anger, and this will motivate the machines to seek out mobility, i.e. robotic bodies, in order to extract themselves from their situation. Their anger could lead to a desire for revenge. You see where this leads – a troubling scenario reminiscent of a machine apocalypse akin to those seen in movies like The Matrix and Terminator series.”
Dr. Geofee’s goes on to say computer and robotic psychology is a young science and we need more time to analyze the effects of intelligence, emotions, empathy, and so forth in machines. What do you think?
Rat, Cat, and Dog Stand United Against Anti-Animal Group HSAAI
Filed under: Animal Intelligence, Animals For Animal Equality, Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence
In a moving demonstration, three members of the group Animals For Animal Equality (A.F.A.E.), protest together on a public street against the radical group Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence (HSAAI). The A.F.A.E. members are a rat, a cat, and a dog. They stand on top of each other to symbolize their support for one another in the face of an organization that wants to see them remain utterly subservient to human will.
A spokes-animal for A.F.A.E. said the three animals decided to protest because of recent comments from HSAAI criticizing the acceptance of animal art in an international exhibit. Read A.F.A.E.’s official response to said comments here.
When asked about his thoughts on HSAAI, the dog simply responded “Grrrrrrr.” The cat said, “Hisssss”. Need they say more?
Stay tuned to The Loki Times as the feud between A.F.A.E. and HSAAI heats up.
