We're doomed.

Small quote:

The computer began with completely random behavior. In the trial-and-error process, different words would appear on the screen as it took actions, and then the computer could search for instances of those words in the instruction set, and for associated words in the surrounding text, and form hypotheses based on that.

In one test, a software installation, the computer was able to reproduce 80 percent of the steps that a human would perform if they read the same instructions. In Civilization, it won 79 percent of its games, compared to a program that won only 46 percent without relying on instructions.

I just hope that I can see the end of StarCraft 2 (as much as the story was raped) before our new robot overlords take over the world.

Interesting. However, it is still learning from instructions based on what human beings have written for it, and that are very closely related to the subject. Computers will most likely never have a "gut feeling" or "instinct" that is what keeps normal living things alive. Still an interesting story though.
