Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled

mpthompson writes "Samsung has partnered with a Korean university to develop a robotic sentry equipped with a 5.5mm machine gun. Meant for deployment along the DMZ between North and South Korea, the $200,000 robot employs sophisticated pattern recognition software for targeting humans. No three laws here, but the robot does include a speaker that can be used to politely issue a warning before taking the target out. The promotional video is both scary and funny at the same time."

This is one more step along the path that will allow the rich to finally do away with the poor. The rich need poor people to man their factories, and to protect them from other poor people. Soon robots will do both those jobs. Then you have to start wondering just how many crazy rich people it takes to really commit to that path.

Also, insert joke about robots taking old korean people's medicine here.

Change of moderation

The comment I posted was rated 2:interesting. No, I do not care. It has changed. Given the the overload of political articles we observe recently does this not give raise to the idea that /. is bought out to eliminate the dissidents?

P.S.: Editor: Explain, if you can! Never mind, be sure we meet at Guantanamo, you are leaking as well!

The government is the servant of the people.
The government shall fear the people.
A government that does not fear the people is a broken one, and it is the right and the DUTY of the people to remove that government, through their vote, or if necessary, through force.
