The New York Times "Arts, Briefly" column brings horrifying news this morning that an upcoming program at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by a robot — further evidence that man's inevitable apocalyptic war with machines is fast approaching. ASIMO, a humanoid robot designed by Honda, will lead the orchestra in a performance of "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha on May 13, setting the stage for a robot opera, a robot-funded arts program, and, eventually, a violent robot uprising that will annihilate all humanity.
