Any regular readers may have discerned that I’m no fan of Digg. It’s not the theory behind the site, just the present state of it. However, Hrafn at Inkblot Earth emailed this morning to tell me about a question he wants people to digg and comment on: Do You Fear Intelligent Machines?
I’m as interested in the results as he is, so please digg the story, preferably by going to his post first, Who’s Afraid of Robots? With any luck, the discussion on Digg won’t degenerate into the usual raft of Terminator-related nonsense and oneupmanship. Here’s Hrafn’s Digg post:
Many people truly fear the idea of intelligent machines. I’ve often wondered: exactly how many share this feeling? I’ve created a poll for that question, and submit it here to Digg, hoping that YOU will want to see the question answered too. Let’s collaborate, get this to the front page and make it industry news: How many fear intelligent machines?
I voted a straight ‘no’, by the way.

Hey Kuipercliff, thanks for the support. I really hope it reaches the front page — it’d be really interesting to see the results.
