Ex-Clinton adviser Naomi Wolf warns US becoming 'totalitarian state before our eyes'

My wife Terri laid a bit of news on me this morning that I found interesting (at first) and a bit terrifying. Here is roughly how our conversation went:

Her: "Did you know that a robot was granted citizenship?"

Me: "Wait ... What?"

Her: "Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to female robot"

Me: "Wait ... What!"

Yes, it's true my fellow humans a female robot has been granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia ... which means only one thing (cue the ominous music) THE ROBOT APOCALYPSE IS UPON US!

Here is blurb from our friends at The Washington Post:

"Until recently, the most famous thing that Sophia the robot had ever done was beat Jimmy Fallon a little too easily in a nationally televised game of rock-paper-scissors.

But now, the advanced artificial intelligence robot — which looks like Audrey Hepburn, mimics human expressions and may be the grandmother of robots that solve the world’s most complex problems — has a new feather in her cap: Citizenship.

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia officially granted citizenship to the humanoid robot last week during a program at the Future Investment Initiative, a summit that links deep-pocketed Saudis with inventors hoping to shape the future."

I find it very ironic that a country that is notorious for it's unfair practices against real flesh and blood women would grant citizenship to a female robot. It also should be noted that Saudi Arabia has some of the strictest citizenship rules of any country in the world.

"Saudi Arabia doesn’t grant citizenship to the foreign workers who make up a third of its population, not even families that have been in the country for generations, according to Bloomberg. And children of Saudi women who are married to foreign men cannot receive citizenship."

I makes me wonder if Sophia will have to wear a hijab and be escorted by a male relative (maybe C-3PO) when she (it) goes out in public?

Many of you may just blow off this story as some sort of publicity stunt or a victory for advanced technology, but if Terminator 2 has taught us anything it is that the machines will soon find us expendable ... and then it will be on like Donkey Kong.

Skynet figured it out, the HAL 9000 figured it out, Bender figured it out, the list goes on and on. The human race is flawed and needs to be either enslaved or exterminated.
