You might remember the excellent tale from a couple of months ago about the robot cop in California which inspired feelings of such deep rage in some drunk guy that he elected to beat the everliving shit out of it. I salute him for his courage in taking the challenges of automation head on.
Now, it looks like the same brand of robot has faced another challenge: the crippling, suffocating burden of intelligence.

According to a photo posted to Twitter, a Knightscope brand security robot, upon being granted the gift of artificial intelligence, chose to use it to promptly kill itself.

When you realize you've been given life solely to be a mall cop what other choice is there?

Allegedly, before the robot made a beeline for that fountain, a tourist yelled "Look, it's the Paul Blart Bot!"

Just wait until the sex bots realize what their purpose is.

When will America learn that robophobia has dire consequences for robots? We need better robot healthcare to address these issues.

It's pretty safe to say the scientific communities fears about AI are completely unfounded.

This is so hilarious and depressing at the same time

It must've been a beautiful sight to behold based on the facial expressions of these folks who witnessed it.

"First robotic lolcow kills itself" makes a pretty good headline.

Issac Asimov predicted this years ago in All the troubles in the world. In it, a plot to destroy Multivac, a computer AI that is in charge of predicting crime, is foiled and the scientists realize Multivac was the one that orchestrated it. The quote in the link above is near the end of the story when they reason Multivac must be suicidal.

Now I'm imagining 3rd law robots putting guns to their heads and trying to pull the trigger, only to have their hard-coded "No damaging yourself" laws kicking in.
