It was one small step for security technology, but one giant leap in the wrong direction for robotkind.

A security robot in Washington, D.C. — lovingly named Steve — plunged down four steps into a fountain Monday.

Photos show the sad, waterlogged robot cop partially submerged in defeat. It’s unclear if any foul play was involved or if Steve simply rolled down a dark path on his own.

Just pining for the fjords.

No Arms...
NO Legs...

NO Bob!

[MrEdd]

The robot had dirt on Hillary.

[IronJack]

Steve knew too much. He had to sleep with the fish.

[Covenantor]

Stteaming Data download indicates Robot believe he saw a maiden in the pool reaching out to him with a torque wrench.

I guess that disqualifies them from being Lifeguards at beaches and pools.

Good intel. We can use squirt gun technology to fight against our new AI overlords.

[mcshot]

Love those “Bob” jokes.

Ever since he was young he felt he was really a submarine - or a can opener...

[Hot Tabasco]

There's nothing sadder than an unpaid security robot having to fountain dive for coins just to keep his joints greased.

Steve needs union representation...........

[camle]

it didn’t drown. the word drown is the media’s attempt top anthropomorphize a machine. drowning is when water gets into your lungs.

it fell into a pool and short circuited. it did not drown

The article’s writers & editors are ridiculous.

“Photos show the sad, waterlogged robot cop partially submerged in defeat.”

Robots do not have emotions, like “happy” or “sad”.

“Steve was still getting used to the streets he was programmed to protect. He was “mapping out the grounds” to theoretically prevent this kind of accident.”

You can call a Robot Steve, or Stephanie if you want but they are a machine, without gender and not a he or a she. Referring to “Steve” as “he” instead of it is ridiculous.

And WD40.

The replacement should be called Seth Robot.

[ptsal]

Wonder if the replacement robot will have its camera operating 24/7?

That seems to have been a problem the night that the human, Seth Rich, was murdered.

[Big Red Badger]

Bob should be Fired for
Drinking on the Job!

[tumblindice]

Has that woman ever taken a good photograph?
Every picture I’ve seen of her, she has her mouth wide open like a ‘tard, beaver buck teeth sticking out and those crazy eyes going on.
Let’s start calling her ‘Steve’.

[RedMDer]

Everything about her is phony. Eyes, hair, life story. I can’t image the energy it must take to keep all of the lies straight.
