> Witnesses allegedly observed the robot at the Giga Texas factory pin the engineer and claw at his back and arm, causing a “trail of blood” We don’t have to worry until attacking robots are able to finish the job. At that point it is Judgement Day. ---

Just wondering why you’re posting imbecilic garbage like this? These are machines in the factory, industrial robots. They can’t even be imagined to “attack” anybody, any more than your kitchen blender. If you stick your hand in it and are thereby injured, did it “attack” you? Industrial accidents are unfortunate and companies should do what they can to prevent them. But this is not even a story, never mind somehow news years after it happened. -IGU- ---

In other funny news a Toyota Corolla attacked a Cybertruck. > **[First reported Tesla Cybertruck accident results in only ‘minor’ injury](https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/28/24018383/tesla-cybertruck-crash-corolla-palo-alto)** > > A Corolla went off the road, came back on, and hit a Cybertruck. This is a “first”. Cybertruck has now been “blooded”, although, with only minor injuries, it does not yet merit a “tear drop tattoo”. 🙂 ralph uses artistic license like a boss. ---

If you stick your hand in it and are thereby injured, did it “attack” you? Chill, friend. Everyone knows the robot didn’t physically attack somebody. It was one of them joke thingies.
