Robots must not be allowed to take over world!

Is the message being touted by this news article on the Beeb. Apparently they're worried that robots with decision making ability may be put into a position where these abilities might become a matter of life or death.

Samsung, a company who usually make TVs & mobile phones, have developed a robotic sentry. The news article has some more fluff on it, but the important thing to note is that it's got two cameras and a machine gun. Now, call me a pessimist - but when has giving a robot a machinegun a good idea?

I will now give you some cautionary examples of what happens when you give a robot a machinegun.

1. Megatron - Leader of a race of giant robots.
Hobbies: Torture, Shouting, Taking over the universe.
Likes: Torture, Shouting, Killing things.
Dislikes: Autobots, Squishy humans, That whiny fuck Starscream

2. ED209 - Dumb as a post sentry robot.
Hobbies: Shouting, Posing, Shooting.
Likes: Shouting, Posing, Shooting.
Dislikes: Stairs.

3. The Terminator - Unstoppable robot assassin.
Hobbies: Time travel, Stealing stuff, Killing.
Likes: Motorbikes, Leather, Big guns.
Dislikes: Des O'Connor, Sinead O'Connor, Sean Connery.

So really, you can see why I'm not entirely in favour of the idea of giving a robot a machinegun.

Are you listening Mr Samsung? If I get shot by a robot with a machinegun, I'm going to haunt you for ever.
