I found this guy's two videos at random and am intrigued by it. As Orbinauts we tend to be on the optimistic side of futuristic thinking. I grew up in an age and a place where we were promised routine spaceflight, fusion power, robots and maybe even some kind of flying car, all coming "someday soon".
Well, of course, for anyone over age 30, we know better now. Instead of all the cool stuff we thought we'd get we've had to settle for an internet and some smartphones, which are pretty lame compared to a fusion reactor or a trip to the outer planets.
This guy makes the case for not anticipating self-aware robots anytime soon. I found this very thought-provoking.
