No, I don’t mean the inevitable uprising here or anywhere else. In fact, I don’t mean anything to do with humans at all. I’m talking about the robots, because the Japanese have finally invented a robot that thinks we taste like bacon. From the article:
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…
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.
Well, now we’re screwed. Thanks Japan! Between the people-eating robots and the attempts to create new universes, they’ll do us all in yet. (CERN isn’t helping, either.)
