Our D.C. office building got a security robot. It drowned itself. We were promised flying cars, instead we got suicidal robots.
@natecull lol i was coming here to post about this. a friend of a friend works at that office
@tcql Yay!
@natecull I wish people would by expensive equipment that isn't fit for purpose from _me_...
@natecull I knew Marvin wasn't going to be much use as a security guard
@natecull Here I am, brain the size of a planet and what do they ask me to do? Watch the fountain. Do you call that a life? Because I don't...*glug glug glug*
@natecull SELF CLEANING CYCLE STARTED, PLEASE STAND CLEAR.
well, fictional AI often attempt suicide
maybe it became self-aware and we're just getting to that part of the curve
@natecull …or would you prefer our *homicidal* model?
@wrenpile I think what we can take from this is that our Future Mechanical Benefactors might be smart enough to avoid pools and to climb stairs, but pools *with* stairs could do the trick
@natecull Miniature golf would do the trick.
@natecull my fears of the robot revolution decline with each passing day I write code.
