Science You Cannot Possibly Comprehend, Monday, Period 5
"If you were aware that your teacher last week was a Doombot, then I congratulate you," Doom said. "It takes an admirable amount of confidence in yourself to lie to Doom, after all. When I realized what affects the damnable pollen would have last week, I knew attempting to teach a group of hormonal teenagers anything would be more of a lost cause than usual."
"And so I introduced you to this week's topic, advanced artificial intelligences. In my world, a man named Doctor Henry Pym is commonly credited as the father of artificial intelligences based on his creation of Ultron, a crazed automaton alternately obsessed with his creator's psychological issues and committing genocide against the human race. Ultron then used its own great mechanical intelligence to create a son called the Vision, who became a superhero, and a daughter named Jocasta who he obsessed over marrying and who also became a superhero."
"In short, though he is considered an expert in the field, Pym was a failure who begat an even grander failure," Doom said.
"Years before Ultron was even a dream destined for failure, I invented the Doombot," Doom explained. "These artificial intelligences obey my commands without question. Their will is mine. In my absence, I command them to act as though they are Doom. The deception is nearly perfect. It must be noted, of course, that even an omnipotent God cannot create a boulder he himself cannot lift. So if a Doombot falls just short of the majesty of Doom, it's merely because there are limits."
And then it was time for the detailed part of the lecture. If Doom seemed to be going a little more slowly this time and making sure that he hit specific points, it's because he actually intended for you to accomplish a task from scratch for once.
His description of how to build a robot body was brief, as was only right in a world where children could build crude battle robots for competition. The bulk of the lecture was speciffically on the artificial intelligence and how to program it based on someone's brainwaves.
Finally, once he was done explaining, he touched his gauntlet, opening a secret door in the lab floor, from which several robot bodies rose.
"You will be break into groups of up to three. Together, you will program your automaton to perform basic functions. Whether you choose to do it by imprinting the brainwaves of one of your group members onto the robot or via one of the more challenging options I described in my lecture, is your decision to make. I have provided the tools for the most common advanced methods, including neural transmitters that will digitize the most basic parts of a personality. I have confidence that you could effectively program these robots by the end of class, if you work hard enough. However, you can use the lab outside of class hours to refine your work and possibly customize your robot throughout the week. The Doombot will be here at all times, ensuring that you stay on task and do not attempt to remove any technology from the lab."
"The lab will be closed Friday night, before you go on your fall trip. Your projects will reside in this lab for the week of the trip. By our next class, two weeks from today, they must accomplish a brief list of simple tasks. If the robots critically malfunction or attempt any form of rebellion that would lead to the Doombot needing to destroy it, you will fail this project. Video will be provided in the event that anything happens to the robot."
"Begin."

Maybe not that fast.
"Well, I promise I'll do my best to keep up."

Re: Team Up and Work
Because where she came from, giving a random robot access to anything in your head could turn out to be a catastrophic idea, and she was barely comfortable being in this class as it was.
"Of course the other way's harder, right?"
Re: Team Up and Work
Re: Team Up and Work
She could at least make sure the robot would be polite and stuff.
Re: Team Up and Work
and he was able to do it correctly but I am so not getting technical here.It would be a polite robot and a charming one. So, basically, best robot ever.
