Malfunctioning sensor system blamed for technician's death at Korean food plant

Robot mistakes man for box of peppers, kills him — Malfunctioning sensor system blamed for technician’s death at Korean food plant::Malfunctioning sensor system blamed for technician’s death at Korean food plant

DEATH TO ABOMINABLE INTELLIGENCE!

“Mistakes”?

Was it ever designed to attempt to tell the difference? Aren’t most packing “robots” just machines a basic set of sequences with maybe a sensor or two for the most egregious problems, like “there’s something here, do thing” vs “nothing here, don’t begin sequence”

Wait until you hear how crazy dangerous this thing called the cotton gin is.

So I never understood the importance of the cotton gin until I grew some cotton for giggles.

Y’all ever tried to get those seeds out?! There’s 4-8 per boll and they are enmeshed. Just cleaning a couple of puffs is a tough chore. And waste as little as possible. Now do 40 acres. The bales around here are about the size of a short tractor trailer box.

Also, try picking cotton some time. Puts a whole new spin on slavery. By harvest time those leaves turn into pointy, hardened razor blades. I barely reached in and one slide up the side of my finger about 1/2". Took 2-weeks to heal since I apparently got a fat inoculation of bacteria.

Now do it fast, bent over, from pre-dawn to just past dusk. And get whipped if you don’t hustle. Slave’s hands had to be lumps of unfeeling callous.

Oh, and the part school didn’t teach about the cotton gin; It made cotton vastly more profitable. Guess where I’m going with this.

And to lighten the mood, have some racist ass field trip.

Why is it programmed to kill boxes of peppers

It’s 로봇 크러쉬 [Robot Crusher] brand. They advertise this cooking process and must therefore kill boxes of peppers with prejudice and treat their structure with total disrespect.

For the same reason that someone decided that it would be a good idea to have machines be able to generate energy from organic material….

Yeah, let’s build robots that can feed on humans to recharge their batteries, no way that’d be a problem.

Horizon Zero Dawn showed us that this doesn’t have any potential to be problematic…

Gah dammit, and that movie was actually pretty decent too. Cereal Killer came through Thir13en Ghosts style.

I meant he acted well in this film like he did in 13Ghosts, and well,…in Hackers as Cereal Killer

Wow. Robert Williams’ death was a very interesting one legally. I wonder if Ford would have gotten away Scott free of they weren’t such a huge manufacturer in the area.

Wtf is this fear mongering? I’m totally for luddism but this is something else. Not the first time a machine kills a person, and will not be the last. Put panic stop buttons on any machine that can potentially harm a human, and nowadays you can add a range of sensors that can help identify a living thing from a box of vegetables. This is entirely the fault of designers.

Btw i refuse to read the article if the post keeps this title and picture.

A thread on a different article about the same thing had someone demanding a change in law to make robots safer and stop this happening again because 48 people were killed by robots in the USA…since 1992.

Yes, there’s a lot to take in with that. Yes, some people are idiots.

“Man Dies in Industrial Accident” is a lame headline. 🙄
