The Dangers of Artificial Engineering

The following images and short documentary are from a presentation I did on the dangers of artificial engineering - in particular the destructive nature of today's robots.
Sony Aibo's are a popular robotic pet (if you have the cash) - but what Sony does not want you to know is that they are natural killers. They are particularly aggressive towards cats.




In this sequence you can see that the cat is able to fight back for a moment, biting the nose of the robotic dog. But its teeth are of no use on the hard plastic, and the death rays from the dog's eyes soon destroy the cat.
That sequence is tame in comparison to this shot sent to me by a colleague. The Aibo has completely skinned the cat. One hopes the cat was dead first, but unfortunately that is unknown.
