Gone Skynet

James Cameron warned us.

Yesterday I got a LinkedIn invitation from a VERY mild acquaintance, someone I've met twice in my life, but who seemed pretty cool. I was surprised, but open, thinking to myself "I guess this is what LinkedIn is for, right?"

So I accept the invite and shoot a thank you response email. The response to the response, I will paste here -

"Thanks for the reply....I'm sorry though, I can't seem to remember who you are..?"

Ugh?!?

Through a back and forth dialog, we figured it out - Linked In has developed it's own consciousness and was trying to "LinkIn" members to each other.

I predict nuclear holocaust within the next 4-5 years.
