I wonder what the quantum physics folks would think about the robots
reaching a state of consciousness?  There is pretty universal agreement
among quantum physicists that the universe "manifests" itself during 
measurement, and one school of physicists believe that consciousness has a 
profound effect on how matter appears.  So what happens when the robots are
out there taking measurements and imposing their consciousness on "reality"?

Just a wacky comment, worded badly.
