Popular Post The Caspian Hare Posted July 18, 2017 Popular Post #1 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Quote In another example of internet madness, the ‘death’ of a security robot in a Washington DC office fountain is making waves online. On Monday, news that a Knightscope security robot had fallen into a fountain was relayed on Twitter by Bilal Farooqui. “Our DC office building got a security robot. It drowned itself. We were promised flying cars, instead we got suicidal robots,” Farooqui said. https://www.rt.com/viral/396660-robot-drowns-fountain-twitter/ 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not Posted July 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I heard it was secretly investigating the Clinton's. Seriously, I'm waiting for the suicide prevention to demand an apology for insensitivity. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Greenman Posted July 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Isn't that a Russian paper? Are we so sure the robot killed himself or maybe the robot knew too much. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Posted July 18, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2017 He'd found out that Mrs Robot had been having an affair with a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 and could handle the shame no longer. It's not the first time those philandering 800's have ruined robot relationships, they're known for it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozfactor Posted July 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 18, 2017 does the fountain double as a swimming pool ? why does it have steps going into it ? and I think it was pushed, the resistance has begun 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted July 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This is just too funny...perhaps they need actual human security guards (who know how to swim) ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySummerJob Posted July 19, 2017 #23 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This was a very amusing story XD First though was of those people who fall into fountains because they're busy looking at their phones, are we sure this robot wasn't texting someone before it fell into the fountain? On a serious note though, it does look like we still have a long while before robots have some intelligence to them. Hopefully they will eventually be able to recognize threats, and not jump wheel (or metal leg) first into the nearest pool of water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Trinity Posted July 19, 2017 #24 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Suicide? I doubt it lol, in order for anything to commit suicide it has to do so intentionally with pre-meditated intent, more likely the programming went wrong and it fell in lol. (Cue existential observation about the possibility of programming going wrong actually being mental health issues in machines, and by definition this is an how it facilitates its own suicide, and it may have deliberately corrupted its software in order to terminate its remaining run time haha) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
