No wonder they are an endangered species when they think a human head is a female parrot.

"The New Cop on the Beat May Be a Bot" Lev Grossman, Time Magazine, April 16, 2014 [^].
From the Knightsbridge company web-site home-page: [^]:
"The Birth of a New Hometown Hero
Imagine a friend that can see, hear, feel and smell that would tirelessly watch over your neighborhood, keep your loved ones safe and put a smile on anyone walking by your business. Imagine if we could utilize technology to make our communities stronger and safer…..together." One of my first thoughts about this Dalek-shaped weirdness was that neighborhood dogs would find it more attractive than the proverbial fire-hydrant.
“I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” Jorge Luis Borges

We all know that the Gruntmaster 6000 is just like the Gruntmaster 9000, but cheaper and with less functions. Let's hope that testing does not go like this[^].

.."hero"?
What heroic when a machine without self-preservation executes it program? And who is going to control that programming eh? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Your hero is not welcome here.

I was sitting at Penn Station yesterday watching the "how we keep you safe" videos. It's amazing how they sell invasion of privacy and loss of rights as "for my own protection and safety, see all the things we're doing."
And this (which has to be an absolute joke, because quite frankly, I would be one of the first to take a sledgehammer and a can of paint to the thing):
The Knightscope K5 Autonomous Data Machine utilizes a combination of autonomous robots and predictive analytics to provide a commanding but friendly physical presence while gathering important real-time on-site data with numerous sensors.
While public areas are, agreed, public, there is a crossing of the line when my actions are recorded and gathered without my permission. I may have no legal ground on which to stand, but there is an ethical one, IMO.
Data collected through these sensors is processed through our predictive analytics engine, combined with existing business, government and crowdsourced social data sets, and subsequently assigned an alert level that determines when the community and the authorities should be notified of a concern.
"predictive...social data sets..." in other words, predictions based on skin color, dress, etc. Which is illegal.
I quite imagine that this R2D2 is the April Fool's Day hoax of 2014.

Complete nutrition is now sponsoring me and my sister. It's a local branch, so it counts mostly for local events, but I can't complain at all. I was honored at how excited the guy was. In this area, my sister and I are sort of success stories  It's pretty neat.

I overheard someone exclaim 'Good and Holy Mackerel Gravy!'. I don't know about you guys (and gals), but that is just gross.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I agree. That sounds fishy to me.
