    Red face Robots Think We Taste Like Bacon

    I thought Skynet was going to go self-aware, but it looks like the robot holocaust will begin with automated sommeliers. It tasted one person, and identified him as bacon. Another man was sized up as prosciutto. Chilling.

    When the robots come to slice you up and serve you on toasted bread with a side of olive oil and diced tomatoes, don't say you weren't warned.

    It has begun!

    Probably sheer coincidence that Shimazu chose green and white for robbies colour scheme.

    If you want a purple one, you'd have to find scientist called Hojo.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To be fair, so do most sommeliers. Seriously though, what is this electromechanical imbecile supposed to do at my table? According to the piece..
    .. it names the brand and adds a comment or two on the taste, such as whether it is a buttery chardonnay or a full-bodied shiraz, and what kind of foods might go well on the side.
    Suppose I order the steak au poivre and a hefty shiraz to douse it. The electrojerk brings it to my table, opens it, tastes it, and says in a childlike voice: "Why this is a full-bodied shiraz, Mr Adrian. May I gently recommend a steak au poivre to go with it?"

    Fifteen minutes of that in a half-decent restaurant and it's dish-washing time for the rest of little Bobbie's life.

    Isn't that what cannibals say too? So chilling accurate.

    It would be an interesting thing in a more discreet format for those of us who have zero wine (but plenty of whine) knowledge. Maaatttee what this? It looks like a shazzza but it smells like strawberry liquor/ Octan 98 mate.

    Not that I know anyone like that.

    Didn't the cannibals in the Pacific call the white man long pig? They say that human flesh tastes like salty pork.

    Now where did I put that apple sauce?

    Not just in the Pacific. The Aztecs were reported to compare human flesh to pork. We do, apparently, taste like bacon. That's not the problem. It's robots knowing we taste like bacon, that's where the trouble starts. Sure, they've been programmed to be good, and they want to be good, but how long can they resist the succulent taste of human flesh? How long before they begin to slice, fry and sautée their erstwhile masters?

    The robot apocalypse just keeps getting closer. Now they know we taste good, and they have robot guns to aid in the human culling! Aieeee!

    Samsung has partnered with Korea University to develop a machine-gun equipped sentry robot, which consists of “two cameras: one for day-time and one for infrared night vision, zooming capabilities, a speaker for notifying the intruder, sophisticated pattern recognition to detect the difference between humans/trees, and a 5.5mm machine-gun.”

    "…are expected to sell for $200,00 USD and will be available late in 2007. The South Korean government plans to deploy these friendly reminders on the border between South and North Korea, to further ease relations between the countries"

    That Korean robot looks suspiciously alike to ED-209

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.
