Robots Can Learn To Hold Knives — and Not Stab Humans
aurtherdent2000 writes "We humans enjoy not having knives inside of us. Robots don't know this (Three Laws be damned). Therefore, it's important for humans to explain this information to robots using careful training. Researchers at Cornell University are developing a co-active learning method, where humans can correct a robot's motions, showing it how to properly use objects such as knives. They use it for a robot performing grocery checkout tasks."

We know where leadership by an anti-intellectual "strongman" who scapegoats minorities and likes boisterous rallies goes
Nobody, for one, seems to welcome our new not-stabbing robot overlords, you insensitive clod!
I, for one, am looking forward to the inevitable

I believe using a knife at the grocery checkout is called armed robbery.
Well, sheesh - you named the robot "Stabby"... what did you THINK was going to happen?

It very much has to be pointed out. Because, to be fair.. that's how stabbing works. You point it out.
