Frankly, no. If there is one thing that programming has taught me it's that computers are tools that only do what they are programmed to do. We sometimes tell them to do really complex things and can observe "emergent" and unexpected behavior (including bugs). But my experience so far tells me that no combination of machine instructions could possibly be sentient.
All we continue to do is improve our simulation of intelligence. And I definitely think we will see machine learning used to make more impactful decisions as time goes on. But any post-apocalyptic robot future will likely be attributed to bugs (or hacks) rather than the malice of a sentient computer.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
