So it begins...

Could not find this anywhere, so sorry if it's already been posted.

This i find a little scary! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15893772 it's like korea is trying to start skynet!! but seriously what do you guys think of this? To be honest i don't have a problem with this (apart from the automated gun turrets)

We need to destroy this thing now.

 

[Shirastro]

Humanity is overrated. Robotic overmind i am your humble servant!

 

[Kopikatsu]

I for one welcome our new robotic overlords!

I can see how the robots could detect violence, but how do they pick up on suicide? Anywho...all we need to give those robots some guns and four (bladed) arms. Then they can replace prison guards entirely!

I for one welcome our new robotic overlords!

The ants do not approve.

Ants are irrelevant, the only thing that could stop robots now are zombies.....and occasional pirate!

Has Robocop taught them nothing!? To be fair, though, the moment a convict finds a set of stairs it's doomed.

 

[Donnie Restad]

DESTROY IT!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!

It's got unlimited strength and it's gonna learn its first lessons in the South Korean criminal School of Hard Knocks. We're all doomed.

Hasn't Robocop taught them nothing!? To be fair, though, the moment a convict finds a set of stairs it's doomed.

And so the development of sprawling 1 story prisons begins...

 

[Hunter15]

OH GOD DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS PEOPLE
IT MEANS WERE ONE STEP AWAY....FROM SKYNET!!!!!!
CALL THA NATIONAL GUARDS, CALL EVERYONE
THE MAYANS WARNED US THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Slaanesh]

Feeh they ain't even real guards, they're just snitches on wheels.

Just what I thought. Unless South Korea starts making AI controlled Deff Dreads, we have nothing to fear.

 

[Gitty101]

Oh my Science...

The signs... they were all there. I just started watching Battlestar Galactica as well. We have created them and now they will inherit the Earth. It is only a matter of time.

OT: Very cute for something that'll land you in even deeper shit.

 

[emeraldrafael]

the east has been doing this kinda shit with robot for years, the west is just playing a catch up game.

...

Now if NORTH Korea had done something like this, I'd be slightly more apprehensive.

EDIT:

you still have to go down to the first floor/ground level at some point. and they'll be waiting for you.

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

They don't even really have any AI...

It's a camera and alarm system on wheels.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

This made me think of ED209 for some reason. IT harnesses the power of Korean teenagers so it never needs to sleep.

 

[Darren716]

I think it looks way too friendly to be patroling a prision also what if an inmate attacks it and ends up destroying it.

 

[A BigCup of Tea]

I'm so disappointed, when I read your thread title all I could think was "and so it begins..."

Sorry to disappoint!

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Well as long as these robot don't interfere with my evil business affairs i won't mind until i am able to legally purchase them. Or until we take over the Koreas.
