Why Machines Will Never Take Over The World ....oracle

It is a recurring theme in science fiction that as computers increase in power and sophistication, they may one day reach a point where they decide they can do better without us, and condemn us to lives suspended in racked pods with our brains plugged into a vast virtual world, or alternatively send increasingly resourceful and indestructable robots to hunt us down in our bunkers, while above ground survivors fight a desperate war for survival amidst the wreckage of civilisation.

If you find this vision of the future alarming, take heart in this SQL query, which was generated by a machine. Not, perhaps, a Cyberdyne Systems T-800 or the Matrix Mainframe, but something called OLAP API. We don't know what that is either, but we can tell you that if any robot descended from it ever attempts to enslave humanity using a virtual world and an unfeasible pod system, rest assured that you will have time to get out of its way.
