GM Watches As Robot Commits Suicide, Does Nothing

You'd you think that since we love robots so much, we'd be moved at this GM car-manufacturing robot killing himself. Nope. Nothing but laughs here. – Jason Chen

And I was so hoping the robot would disassemble itself or something.

They could have shown us the command to kill itself to satisfy Asimov's third law.

I couldn't stop laughing. Robots and heaping quantities of pain killers always make me giddy.

Lame, I thought it was going to disassemble itself or hack itself apart, not throw itself off a bridge...

I didn't get that.

Is the robot a metaphor for GM as a whole?

Hey GM, I wonder if the legions of American auto workers you've laid-off in the last twenty years find this hilarious. Ha ha, it's suicidal over losing its job!

Jerks.

It would've been funnier if all of the assembly line robots turned on the employees like in Rise of the Machines.

One word: Router. As long as the filter your daddy has on the laptop is a software one, a router will get you the pr0n hookup on the desktop. =)
