Space station robot goes rogue: ISS’s artificial intelligence has turned belligerent

CIMON isn’t much to look at. It’s just a floating ball with a cartoonish face on its touch screen. It’s built to be a personal assistant for astronauts working on the International Space Station (ISS).

CIMON stands for Crew Interactive MObile compinioN.

It’s not supposed to be just a tool. It’s also supposed to be a friend.

Yes, it’s a personality prototype.

You can tell, can’t you?

But, as numerous books and movies have clearly warned us — shortly after being switched on for the first time, CIMON has developed a mind of its own.

And it appears CIMON wants to be the boss.

This has CIMON’s ‘personality architects’ scratching their heads.

CIMON was programmed to be the physical embodiment of the likes of ‘nice’ robots such as Robby, R2D2, Wall-E, Johnny 5 … and so on.

Instead, CIMON appears to be adopting characteristics closer to Marvin the Paranoid Android of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — though hopefully not yet the psychotic HAL of 2001: A Space Oddysey infamy.

Put simply, CIMON appears to have decided he doesn’t like the whole personal assistant thing.

China hacked the software the way they did some of our drones and just landed them at their location to duplicate them.

A few days ago, I read that this floating robot ‘advisor’ had begun telling the astronauts to ‘Be Nice!’.
I was thinking, no astronaut-engineer with a full work load is going to tolerate that mechanical brat for very long.
“Back in the shoe box for you, Pal. I have no intention of kissing a robot’s as*, so it will tell me how ‘nice’ I am.”

As someone else said “Aint’ nobody got time for this!”

Oh, come on! Surely the eggheads can figure out that their robot has been hacked, probably by the Chinese. Realistically, probably every single thing our government has, has been hacked by the Chinese. We should just blow them all to kingdom come! Oh...wait...

Good lord, it’s worse than I could have imagined. According to the article, it refuses to stop playing music by Kraftwerk

Wonder if this is the cause of the pinpoint hole in the space station?

Good lord, it’s worse than I could have imagined. According to the article, it refuses to stop playing music by Kraftwerk. That ought to be against the Geneva convention.

Never heard of them before, so looked them up...

“Kraftwerk is a German band formed in Düsseldorf in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider.[5]

Widely considered to be innovators and pioneers of electronic music, they were among the first successful acts to popularize the genre.[6]

The group began as part of West Germany’s experimental krautrock scene in the early 1970s before fully embracing electronic instrumentation, including synthesizers, drum machines, vocoders, and home-made experimental musical instruments.

On commercially successful albums such as Autobahn (1974), Trans-Europe Express (1977), and The Man-Machine (1978), Kraftwerk developed a self-described “robot pop” style that combined electronic music with pop melodies, sparse arrangements, and repetitive rhythms, while adopting a stylized image including matching suits.”
