we talked about AI in my vocab design class a couple weeks ago. and i comment on it every time a customer buys that green AI textbook. and that is the sum of my knowlege of AI.
wait, if it's a tiny robot that small, but it's AI, doesn't that require it to be an abstract or an electronic creature, not an actual physical thingie?

Creepy- it's like the twilight zone episode where the women is fighting the invasion of all of the little robots in her house. They keep shooting her and it's a war till the end when we realize/Rod Searling tells us that the robots are the actual humans and she is the giant, lol~

You know, I don't think I've ever seen an episode of twilight zone in my life... :-P
I've seen a few episodes of -- what was it, Goosebumps? But as I understand it, that's no match for the Twilight Zone...
What I find most interesting in the episode you described is that we are made to relate to the giant woman rather than the humans... One scene that creeped me out is in MIB: you know how there's this entire galaxy that fits in a marble on the collar of that cat? In the end, the camera zooms out further and further until you see our universe, which is also in a marble... It is not impossible that everything we know and theorize about is a subset of something so much larger. How big does it get? How small does it get? Is there a limit? Is there a link between all these universes, kind of like a pointer in C++?

"actual physical thingie" is a technical term, yes. absolutely. if it wasn't before, it is now.
ants sound much more interesting now than before. hmm. i like the image of colony wars. do they wear colors and fly flags and ride steeds? eh, didn't think so.
so.. these are bitty 'bots?
swarmanoid. remind me to see if that one's made it into webster's complete yet.

bitty bots! i like that. they can come and hang out at the apartment, maybe collect dust balls or something, so long as they don't try to kill us in our sleep. maybe baby mac can lead them.
