An interesting and mostly well-thought out future history of the impending robot invasion.
However, paragraphs like this do not amuse me:

No, no, no.The first breakthrough in true computer vision came in 2016. In 2014, the newest video game consoles came out, and they had extremely powerful CPUs able to process 10 trillion operations per second. By adding 100 gigabytes of RAM to the console and then networking 1,000 of these video game consoles together, a university research team created a machine able to process 10 quadrillion operations per second on 100 trillion bytes of RAM. They had created a $500,000 machine with processing power approaching that of a human brain. They called the system the VBrain. With that much processing power and memory on tap, the researchers were finally able to start creating real vision processing algorithms.
