Haven't these people seen the Terminator films? Surely it's only a matter of time before they take over the world?

it's a little known fact that the Terminator films are actually real life dramatisations using actors to protect the identities of those involved.

Don't worry. It's a PFI project for the Ministry of Defence -- the gold standard of defective ineffectuality. Any kind of rogue AI resulting from that kind of mix would be more of a danger to itself than to anyone else...

We Belgians are quite used to the name Skynet. The second biggest broadband provider (there are only two big players) goes under that moniker. Nobody seems to notice the irony
