Robot Menace: The Latest Developments

Via Ezra here, he points out the innate bloodlust of robot kind.

The article he quotes has far more pernicious implications, however. As the article points out, robots function best in "highly structured environments made just for them." It's not just that robots wish to kill. I mean, sure "If you took a welding bot from an assembly line and put it in your local body shop, it would end up killing somebody in about 30 seconds." Of course. But WHY? It is seeking to eliminate the unstructured elements of its environment. They seek their perfect world...

"Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix."
