justin0469 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 http://www.wired.com/table_of_malcontents/2006/11/robot_identifie/Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon Let the robot holocaust commence: robots think we taste like bacon.Researchers at NEC System technologies and Mie University have designed the cute little guy to the right: a metal man gastronomist, “an electromechanical sommelier”, capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d’oeuvres. Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been fed. The idea is that wineries can tell if a wine is authentic without even opening the bottle, amongst other more obscure uses…like “tell me what this strange grayish lump at the back of my freezer is/was.”But when some smart aleck reporter placed his hand in the robot’s omnivorous clanking jaw, he was identified as bacon. A cameraman then tried and was identified as prosciutto.Absolutely horrifying. Like cows, once robots taste blood, their hunger for human flesh can never be satiated.

shadyone Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 the real question is what did they have for breakfast. because if the robot can figure out what mold WAS then if they had bacon for breakfast its easily still on their hands..
