The robots have finally become sentient

[52-80 19277]

A chess-playing robot, apparently failing to anticipate the quick responses of a seven-year-old boy, grabbed and broke his opponent's finger during a match at the Moscow Open. The boy’s finger was pinched by the robotic arm for several seconds before a woman and three men rushed in, eventually freeing him and ushering him away. Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, said the machine had played many previous exhibitions without upset but added that the robot’s suppliers 'are going to have to think again'.

“The Russian robot claims it was denazifying the finger.”

I’m assuming the robot thought his finger was a chess piece and was grabbing it.

They are learning how to exploit our weaknesses. This was just a test run.

Let me know when one flips over the chess board or swipes all the pieces off of it before storming out of the room. Then I’ll be concerned.

Sounds like that robot first learned how to play Monopoly with my older brother.

Saw the video. The humans did a poor job of avenging the child.

You can’t do that during chess matches?
