Terrifying. The cold unfeeling death by an industrial tool is sadly an ever recurring story in labor history. This to me says that testing for the software and systems and the environment it’s in for these sorts of this thing needs to ironclad on safety. Testing and safety are sadly undervalued because they aren’t “profit generating”.
The thing should be turned off whenever a flesh body is within reach. No software solution is going to be truly safe.
Best practices is having robotic arms inside cages to prevent people from physically being able to access a machine’s circle of blood. Auto turnoff systems are still fundamentally software and aren’t as reliable as physical lockout
They use lasers attached to a kill relay to create a virtual cage. You can do it only with electronics, no software
More proof occupied Korea is a cyberpunk dystopia.
Robots are dangerous but a sign of a sophisticated society.
Whereas North Korea still requires Kim Jung Un to personally execute everyone suspected of being a box. Sad.
a joke in poor taste

In all seriousness though, Jesus fuckin’ Christ, my dad worked in an automotive factory for most of his life and this is worse than the stories he told me about the dangers on the floor
I’m imagining Elon tweets today…
“I read an article about a South Korean man killed by an industrial robot that thought he was a box. The US must speed approval of my Neuralink implants into monkey brains to save human lives. The monkeys soon become smart enough to work in factories and the use rate of industrial robots can continue to increase apace. If there’s an error - the result is only a dead monkey.”
When he says “read about” - he means he saw the headline and immediately brain farted out a tweet.
