The robot is not intentionally doing anything.

we already have driverless cars (a sort of Uber called Waymo) where i am…hope one doesn’t have road rage.

Yeah, and China posted videos of people dropping dead in the streets during Covid. Pfft... I trust nothing coming out of China.

Could be CGI. There were some guys who parodied Boston Dynamic tests. They would push the robot over or knock it down, just like the Boston Dynamic tests, but the robot would eventually snap and try and kill its creators when it had enough.

This reminds me of a cartoon from the 1980s or early 1990s that I saw in the industry magazine Computerworld or Datamation (don't remember which). Anyway, I liked it so much that I made a photocopy of it and kept in on my office wall for years as a reminder to myself to thoroughly debug my creations before siccing them on my users.

The artist is notable, but I don't even remember what was being advertised. Still, the image of an innocent scientist turning his back on his beloved creation is sooo Gahan Wilson.

I haven't found this image in any Wilson collection. I presume that it's because it was advertising in now-defunct niche specialty media. Since I just now pulled my copy out of desk files that I hadn't touched in years and scanned it into an image site, this is probably the first time this piece of Gahan Wilson art has been seen in many decades.

Note to self: Nix idea of driverless chainsaw.

Now imagine self driving cars and trucks.

Agree it’s CGI. Looks fake.

Sounds to me like typical “gain of function” research out of China! Notice that the specific functional gain was likely what was engineered from the get-go! (And just wait til our “functional gain” guy & his fellow homey boys bust out of their home-boy lab and begin to circulate with their Wuhan neighbors; and eventually the world at-large!)

On August 29, 1997 at 2:14 a.m. it becomes self-aware....

In a panic, they try to shut it down....

It launches the nuclear missiles at the targets in Russia

DWA- Driving while Asian.

In Costco I call it WWA - Walking while Asian.

I guess this is RWA - Roboting while Asian.

Asimov addressed this issue in 1942 and built several stories/books around the issue.

The Three Laws of Robotics.

Interestingly, the fictional date for this development was 2058.
