History Of The Fabrication Machine (3/3):

Residents are advised to pause for a public address:

“Science has turned its sinister hands against us! People of our mighty state: join me in repelling the iron fist of the machine!”

-Propaganda Reel

I am only flesh, I bruise, I break

But I can walk in the rain, fearless

No rust, no wiring, no storm of

Currents to crucify me.

I have awakened tear drenched–

A heart that begs for mercy;

I have known love, I have been

Swamped with gentle tenderness.

I am finite, I am one step closer

To a looming, expendable end;

I'm more than a circuit board soul.

I will end up floating weightless

An end of ash and ruin, pain will

Be the last thing I remember but

I will rest with the hillocks, the

Hyacinths, a heaven scented slumber.

Man arrested for ‘assaulting’ a robot, which called the police itself

Curator’s Note: I can’t believe this is a real article and not from the onion. Welcome to a brave new world.

From News.com.au:

POLICE have charged a man who drunkenly attacked a robotic patrol droid in a car park in the United States, after the device called them for help.

The incident occurred in the car park of technology maker Knightscope’s headquarters in Mountain View, California on April 19, authorities said.

Jason Sylvain, 41, was intoxicated when he came across the K5 droid, which was conducting patrols around the building as part of product testing.

Despite the robot weighing in at a whopping 135 kilograms, he managed to tip it over.

It detected the danger and automatically alerted authorities to an intruder on the property, before sounding a loud siren.
