"One Million Robots: Our Replacements Have Arrived
In the ongoing debate as to whether robots will help or hurt the job market in the U.S. and overseas, some concrete answers are beginning to appear.
Foxconn is a Chinese electronics manufacturer of mobile devices and gaming consoles. The company has been the target of negative news lately about work conditions that have led to mutiny and suicides. They are a supplier of Apple, Kindle, Xbox 360 and others, so the spotlight has been shining.
Now it seems that Foxconn would like to replace these troublesome humans demanding rights and fair pay with robots.
The first fleet has arrived ...
Foxconn's plants have the population of entire cities; the largest is known as "Foxconn City" and is estimated to have upwards of 450,000 workers and covers 1.6 square miles. The Foxconn plants are together responsible for the assembly of 40% of the world's consumer electronic products. What happens at Foxconn should signal a trend for what is likely to happen elsewhere. (Source)
As Singularity Hub reports, Foxconn's president Terry Gau did not hide the fact that his company was seeking to replace parts of his human force with robots; he indicated last year that he intended to replace 1 million workers within 3 years:
It appears as if Gou has started the ball in motion. Since the announcement, a first batch of 10,000 robots — aptly named Foxbots — appear to have made its way into at least one factory, and by the end of 2012, another 20,000 more will be installed.
International pressure on Foxconn seems to be a valid excuse for human replacement rather than actual fundamental policy changes. Globalization and outsourcing have forced American companies doing business overseas to account for some of the human rights abuses occurring there.
There is no doubt that robots are changing the world; it is an industry that is growing magnificently. In China alone the industrial robotics market has grown 136% in three years between 2008-2011, with an additional 15% projected for 2012. This trend is leading to predictions that by 2014 China will become the world's top consumer of robotics as well.
With such outstanding results in both production and consumption beginning to transform China's economy, will this force a "reshoring initiative" in America as some proponents of robotics suggest? Or is this merely the first salvo fired against the increasingly expensive employment and management of the human race?
Robots can often perform complex or difficult tasks impossible for their human counterparts, and can also improve energy efficiency — a top priority in China’s developing economy. In addition, as education rates rise, fewer young people may be happy to work in basic labor jobs, especially when improved healthcare means that working-age Chinese people may also have to support their ageing parents.
While robots are still being sold as replacements only for menial jobs that humans supposedly don't want, there is every indication with the rise of artificial intelligence that we are likely to see more skilled jobs going to robots in the future. And with advances in autonomous robots, even the current corporate management who seeks to replace their employees might one day find themselves out of a job."

"The First Cloning Superpower - Inside China's race to become the clone capital of the world
I am peering into a laboratory microscope at what is sort of a cloned human being.
Sort of a cloned human being because it's only a blastocyst, a very early stage embryo that's floating under the microscope like a tiny bit of soap foam. And also sort of because this blastocyst was created by inserting all the DNA from a human being into the egg of a rabbit.
This little swimming experiment in interspecies biology is taking place not in some high tech office park or Ivy League research lab, but on the top floor of an emergency ward at a shabby hospital complex in mainland China. Downstairs, the reception area is lined with battered folding chairs occupied by patients with makeshift bandages or open wounds. Splashed across the linoleum is what looks like dried blood. But here on the top floor, the elevator opens to a world of $100,000 microscopes, sperm-washing machines, and egg-denucleating micropipettes.
Major scientific journals won't publish research that has been described in the popular media, so I have promised not to divulge identifying details about the experiment or the scientist performing it, whom I'll call Dr. X. But I can say that Dr. X's laboratory is one of three I visited in China where researchers are investigating interspecies clones. And I can also say that this experiment would be illicit if not completely illegal in the United States and most of the developed world. But in China it's all legal, every bit of it, which is a big reason why Dr. X moved here after spending a decade at a public institution in the US.
Dr. X has not the slightest interest in creating an actual cloned human being that will one day walk the earth. Instead, this researcher - like the other Chinese scientists working in the field - is pursuing a much more important goal: using special cells within the blastocyst to grow replacement organs and tissues. The cells, called embryonic stem cells, are arguably the most important subject in biology today, and certainly the most controversial. With new organs made from these cells, biologists believe it will be possible to cure many ailments - and add years, if not decades, to the human lifespan.
In the Americas and Europe, stem-cell research is the subject of such visceral dismay - and so many government restrictions - that it has been nearly impossible for scientists to make progress. Things are different in China. Not only is the field less controversial, but the government is erecting state-of-the-art lab buildings, creating university appointments with princely perks, and providing the capital to establish new biotech firms. If the current trend continues, the next great discoveries in biomedical science - and the industries they spawn - will occur not in San Francisco and Boston but in Shanghai and Beijing.
"I loved working in the States," Dr. X says. The training, the laboratories, the equipment - all were first-rate. So were the colleagues. But because embryonic stem cells are nearly impossible to obtain in the US, this researcher felt it necessary to move to China, even though it meant leaving spouse and children behind. "China," Dr. X says, "is the future."
A new era in medicine
Last May, more than 300 scholars and politicians gathered at Shandong University, in Jinan, about 250 miles south of Beijing, to honor the late embryologist Tong Dizhou. Above a large bronze bust of Tong hung a ceremonial banner emblazoned with the phrase: FATHER OF CLONING.
In 1963, 34 years before Dolly the sheep came into the world, Tong plucked the DNA from a cell in a male Asian carp, stuck it into an egg from a female Asian carp, and produced the world's first cloned fish. In previous decades, researchers had cloned microorganisms and nematodes, as well as amphibians, which readers of Jurassic Park will remember are genetically malleable. But before Tong, nobody had ever managed to clone such a complex organism. To all appearances, the experiment was entirely successful. The cloned carp swam around, ate its fill, and even sired baby carp.
Ten years later, Tong inserted the DNA from an Asian carp into an egg from a European crucian carp, a related species, and created the first interspecies clone. Based on such research, Chinese scientists developed fish-breeding techniques so powerful that the nation now produces more than half of the world's aquaculture harvest. But few if any Western scientists knew of Tong's work, partly because he published in relatively obscure Chinese journals; Acta Zoologica Sinica, in which the interspecies cloning research appeared, didn't even offer the English-language abstracts common in non-Western scientific periodicals. In any case, Tong performed his experiments not to study cloning per se but to investigate the interactions between DNA and the egg containing it. To the Chinese, extending this work to humans seemed pointless. "We have a huge population problem and a one-child policy," says Qi Yaqiang, a demographer at Peking University (which retains Beijing's old Romanized name). "Why would you think about making people in a laboratory?"
Attitudes toward cloning changed in November 1998, when James Thomson of the University of Wisconsin announced the isolation of embryonic stem cells. Five days later, a team led by John Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine made a similar proclamation. Together the two stem-cell papers, one published in Science, the other in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, created enormous excitement. And suddenly, cloning - or, more precisely, one special type of cloning - seemed to have real value.
Most of the cells in the body can't reproduce themselves; instead, they simply perform their specific function until they die. Creating new cells is the province of stem cells, a distinct class that can, in the jargon, proliferate. Stem cells are located in many parts of the body; the best known are those in the bone marrow, which make billions of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets each day. When doctors perform bone-marrow transplants, they're essentially stocking patients with new stem cells that they hope will proliferate, creating healthy new blood cells."

How To Make a Synthetic Human Being! www.alien-ufos.com/conspiracy-theories/47544-clones-synthetics-androids-hollywood-industry.htmlClones, Synthetics and Androids of the Hollywood Industry
They are able to think, but cloned beings are not working via six-helix bundles of DNA. Clones work with less than five-helix bundles and you people may know that more than six-helix bundles of DNA are necessary to get full awareness and all higher features that we all are looking for. So a clone is a artificial lifeform that lives in the - extremly limited - genetic cave of his creator(s). The inside psychology of a clone will be not very different from the psychological point of view that you people here experience, when you feel totally disorientated and lost after you mixed to much alcohol with a very bad drug. If you watch how people feel after they use drugs since a long time, you will see they loose their mind, they loose their intelligence and they will loose their higher awareness, also they will loose their inner integrity. A clone never experienced a inner integrity. So clones are very easy to (mind)control, because they don´t have the natural ability of a inner integrity. They are absolutly defenseless and it makes me sad to be aware of the fact that scientists create clones of models, actors, singers and all kind of famous people. Information how they build synth how they build synthetics today: they get created in chambers.. there is a room where 4 chambers are connected trough a transfer-server they are connected trough solarplexus radiator cable which transfers through "holographical teleportation" each atom and starts to arrange them till they build complete cells trough this over and over in this chambers this is working over a digital microprecessing-computersystem which has a lot of mathematical power it´s able for them to save many different bodies complete to the hard disc drive and re-arrange them in this 4 chambers and in less than 10 hours a human male or female is created. they also build hybrids or experiments who are not at all human. they are not aliens. they sometimes just do experiments and modify over software the way the genetic system gets projected and so on. i can show you how this chamber look, because in one video of lady gaga this chambers appear, so i guess lady gaga was created in chamber ... this way the chambers look but they don't have the title "monster" on it... this director knows about this synthetics... all "big" directors know about this truth... they are members of organizations... they buy synthetics directly from the labor for big organisations so they make much money trough cd´s and concerts... its all about the money... nothing else... for the musical area... but they also use this technology to create little girls and boy for sexual abuse... they can build their own children and they sell them to political people and others... its a very complicated situation... also they kill real people (movie stars and musicians) and re-create them as synthetics in chambers... they experiment with dna and do a lot strange things you not even want to know! they (the chambers & tubes were they produce artificial people) are white and 4 ones of them "hang" in the air" and are connected by something they call server or transfer-server... in this computer all atoms get rendered and calculated and they also can extract biological information from dns and re-calculate it into a holographical projection and trough teleportation into this 4 chambers they build humans and everything else.. its not complicated and very simple when you know how they do it... actually its possible to build you your own supermodel in less than 6 hours if you want... you will NOT notice a difference between a real heidi klum and a syntethic heidi klum... just when you look very close to her... you will see the skin looks not biological... also her look would be soulless.. they feel boring... because they have no activity in their inner self - the not even have a inner self like you or other people... they simulate it... they don't know that they are different or synthetic... they just know they exist like you know that you exist... they don´t know why they are here like you don´t know why you are here... they are exactly like you... just you as a real human have full access to the inner self in all possibilitys... they not... and this makes me feel very sad about them... they get abused... they don´t know this... Avril Lavigne got produced 3 times till now because some people wanted to use her as a sex-slave, but many others have ordered also clones of Avril Lavigne. Fathers of ultra-rich families who belong to certain societies and organizations order very often cloned beautiful girls to give them to their sons as a birthday present or some other kind of gift. The thing is that when you reach a certain level of money, people from such organizations will automatically contact you and you will get a member in their organization. The richest ones of all rich ones all are in the same organization and about these people I talk here, when I say they buy cloned persons. So many people got already cloned and as a list this would be a list that would expand with every week. You have to know that this is a big business, the biggest buisness that goes on, on this planet. They are able to produce real humans that look like the originals and do everything that you want them to do. The organization who produces clones is the biggest moneymaker of this planet. There's so much more to say about all this. He, the guy who told me all that via EMail, told me that they cloned already every celebrity who is famous for his beauty, because also rich ladies buy cloned guys like David Beckham or Brad Pitt. These ultra-rich families belong to an isolated almost hidden society and they live a complete different life and in a complete different reality than most of normal people even are able to imagine. They have not just 2 or 3 big houses, they even rent certain rights of the economic system for a limited time, till somebody with more money takes over this job. There are many things going on. Back to the synthetic people. The list is endless. They clone everyone they want to sell to rich families or people. Also there exists secret-software so people can create their own human or extract its look from an artwork, say Nicole Kidman, Gisele Caroline Bündchen, Carolina Ardohian, Jessica Alba, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen or even Osama bin Laden. The ones who have the rights to build them, are also the ones who are the masters of orchestration, not just doctors or scientists belong to them, also special make-up artists and people that work for movies-studios and Hollywood. Sure. Synthetic people have no feeling for right and wrong and the second thing is that they are strongly physical oriented minds, so physical they are that they even not are able to understand sexuality, love, empathy and many other things. They have a very strong appetite to get a sexual satisfaction, but the problem is like I just said that they haven't got a clue of right and wrong. Certain areas real humans have, synthetics don't have. They don't have the finer systems of soul. This is because they get produced through computer, lasers, genetic scanning processes and holographical teleportation. A normal or better, REAL human has healthy feelings for sexuality, but synthetics not. They are child, killing, hate, cold and animal-orientated or in one word - lunatic. The problem is that they got produced, so its not real hate or anything like this, its more like a roboter that got out of control. Humans shouldn't "build" humans. This isn't right. Another things is that the inner areas of this planet are full of tunnels and cities, with houses and streets, everything they have hundreds of miles under your streets. Earth is a lot bigger than scientists tell it to you, so its also a lot more room under your streets, actually you can go 150 miles down - into this planet - you will find cities and everything. They created a second humanoid race through clones and you can just hardly imagine what goes on in these cities - in - your planet.

"Orphan Black Teaser Takes A Look At Cloning Orphan Black has been gearing up to air on BBC America for a while now. The new science fiction-based program signed on Tatiana Maslany as a woman who takes on the identity of another woman who looks just like her, as well as Maria Doyle Kennedy, Dylan Bruce, and Jordan Gavaris, getting production for the series underway in October. Now, BBC America has announced a release date of March 30 for the new series and has also put out the very first teaser trailer, which takes a look at Sarah and some cloned variations of her. As the trailer shows, clones will be a predominant part of the series, and should fit pretty well into BBC America’s Supernatural Saturday lineup, which also boasts the sci fi program Doctor Who. In the trailer we get to see the many faces of Sarah, the aforementioned woman who takes on a new identity, only to unravel a cloning mystery that will have larger ramifications. The short teaser is thrilling and a little frightening, with many versions of the same clone asking questions, leaving us with the note, “When did I become us?†Executive producer David Fortier recently spoke out about the project, stating he has been excited to create a project that touches on self-identity. If the strange mystery and thriller sound up your alley, you’ll be able to catch Orphan Black when it premieres on BBC America beginning on March 30 at 9 p.m. ET." www.cinemablend.com/television/Orphan-Black-Teaser-Takes-Look-Cloning-50761.html
