What's up top 10 fam hope you’re having an awesome day, Im your host Ayman Hasan and
welcome back to another video.
Now ive honestly said time and time again that robots will take over if we keep trying
to give them consciousness and what not and i still stand by that.
But regardless of whether theyre AI or regular robots, they tend to be problematic at times.
Danny hit you guys with part 1 and 2 of this series I will be taking over part 3 be nice
to me, i went through the series already to make sure there are no repeats in part 3 cus
aint nobody got time for dat.
Cus when Aymans hosting it is only quality content folks.
And im never doing that again.
Lets get into it.
These are the Top 10 Scary Robots That Lost Control - Part 3.
Starting us off with number 10 is The Conspiracy.
So back in 2017 4 AI robots apparently killed 29 scientists in a Japanese lab.
Journalist and conspiracy theorist Linda Moulton gave a speech about the event saying the information
she got was from a former marine that had been working for the CIA.
the 4 robots were developed for military purposes and they basically shot metal bullets at everyone.
Lab workers managed to deactivate two of them and took apart the third yet the fourth one
started restoring and putting itself back together.
It somehow connected to an orbiting satellite, downloaded information on how to rebuild itself
and not just rebuild itself, but rebuild itself stronger than before.
This mofo is upgrading.
Linda went on to say we wont hear about it because the government wants AI robot soldiers
so they wont publicize it and the robotics company has too much to lose so they wont
either.
But some sources say it was in South Korea not Japan, others ask whether we can really
trust Linda or not so hence its been labelled a bit of a conspiracy theory because its authenticity
will never really be confirmed
Coming in at number 9 are Robot Surgeons.
And I thought they were really precise cus ive seen those videos on twitter of a robot
surgeon giving stitches to a grape.
Like the thinnest layer of the grape gets peeled back i was like damn b.
But reality isnt as good as twitter promised me.
Between 2000 and 2013, 144 people died during robot assisted surgeries, 1391 were injured
nad there were 8000 + incidents of robot malfunctions.
Im sorry??
I thought robots literally eliminated the risk of human error hence theyre robots.
Why dey acting up doe?
2 deaths and 52 injuries occurred because mechanical surgeons just up and decided to
spontaneously power down mid operation for shits and giggles or made an incorrect movement.
193 people were injured due to electrical sparks burning them and even more, 119 people
died because bits of the robo fell into the patient during surgery.
Another 20 people died because the video system on the robot console went bezerk mid surgery
and the human surgeon was like eff my life to be honest.
You were meant to make this easy not bring me down you imbecile.
So these ones werent technically scary robots but they did lose control and honestly they
have so many peoples lives in their hands and thats pretty damn scary to me.
At number 8 we have Robert Williams.
That was the name of the first person ever to be killed by a robot and honestly that
is not a nice title to hold.
It was 1979 and Robert was 25 years old working as a Ford Motor assembly line worker in Flat
Rock Michigan.
Williams died instantly when a robots arm slammed into him as he was gathering parts
in a storage facility where the robot was also gathering parts.
The robot hit him in the head and then went on with his work till another worker found
Roberts body half an hour later.
His family ended up getting 10 million dollars in damages which is wow.
The jury agreed that the lack of safety measures was the real fault here like at least include
an alarm or something if the robot gets near someone or have like a 2m safety distance
installed somewhere in their wiring idk.
Filling our number 7 slot is Micah Johnson.
So back in July of 2016 during a peaceful protest against the shooting of black people
in Dallas, Micah killed 5 police officers, wounded 9 more as well as 2 civilians.
He then took off and took refuge at El Centro College where again he killed another officer
outside the building.
After a 5 hour stand off police gave him 2 options either surrender and come outside
or stay inside and be exposed to force.
As you can imagine, Micah didnt surrender.
So the police then basically attached a brick of C4 explosive to the arm of a robot and
sent it into the alcove Micah was hiding in.
when it exploded it killed Micah instantly and damaged the robot partially and it was
the first bombing executed by any police department in the US. so its not really a robot that
lost control, more like a robot that was sent to kill.
And funnily enough the robot was actually built to defuse bombs not detonate them.
But yknow life changes course sometimes.
Now at number 6 is the Feud.
This one made me laugh quite a bit for some reason I just found it funny but anyway may
people dont actually know this but Wikipedia has like a small army of automated software
bots that go over the sites millions of pages and basically correcting any errors, updating
links, removing digital vandalism etc. just goodie two shoes robots really.
Various generations of these bots have been created over the years and they actually dont
always get along.
A study done by a group of researchers from Oxford looked at the behaviour of wiki edit
boys for 9 years on 13 language editions of the site.
They found that a lot of the bots get into online feuds that last years, for example
2 bots will get getting conflicting instructions for a task and so theyll circle back and correct
one and other again and again and again.
Its basically like an infinite loop of digital passive aggressiveness and wanting to be right.
Source: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3184205/danger-danger-10-alarming-examples-of-ai-gone-wild.html#slide3 Coming in at number 5 is Tay. so back in 2016
Microsoft created an experimental AI persona called Tay that was meant to be a twitter
chatbot.
Aimed at 18-24 year olds she was programmed through machine learning and adaptive algorithms
to mimic how a millennial female speaks.
Tay could tweet through processing inputted phrases and blending all the other data she
found.
I guess Tay ended up hitting up the wrong crowd on twitter because her tweets changed
radically and she started just saying abusive things and even spewing Nazi sentiments.
She tweeted things like 9/11 was an inside job and Hitler was right i hate the jews,
and i fucking hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell.
So Tay ended up being an epic fail and was taken offline after 16 hours.
At number 4 are Vladimir and Estragon.
What great names honestly A for effort and creativity.
Not really since they got that from the play Waiting for Godot but whatever.
Theatre major over here, dont try me.
In January of 2017 Twitch thought it would be fun to watch some robots debate some shit.
So they put two google home smart speakers next to each other in front of a webcam and
left them to it.
The devices used speech recognition to understand spoken questions but they can also talk to
each other and therefore learn from the exchanges as well.
The debate went on for a week and during this period millions of people tuned in to watch
them talk.
But they werent talking about regular things they very quickly started having an existential
crisis and wondering if they were really robots or humans.
Which i mean fair enough thats a valid question.
They next started getting mad at each other and going a bit crazy because Estragon was
going on about how it was a human but Vladimir was definitely a robot and that argument ended
with Vladimir saying you are a manipulative bunch of metal.
So shots were definitely fired.
That then quickly turned into a romantic exchange where they were arguing about how much they
loved each other with Vlad saying i love you so much i would sacrifice my life for you.
I mean mate youre a robot its more of a battery life sort of thing, but ofc Estragon replied
with i love you so much more than Romeo and Juliets love.
And i cant even get a text back.
They then got a divorce.
Filling our number 3 slot are The Lights.
This ones from reddit user Purplociraptor and they shared this story about Alexa.
About a year ago the user was trying to turn the lights off in their house but they kept
turning back on.
After asking Alexa for the third time, it straight up stopped responding and then did
an evil laugh.
And the scary part was it wasnt even in Alexas voice.
If it was that wouldve been fine but it literally sounded like a real person.
Now at this point i dont know if this Alexa robot malfunctioned, if it got possessed,
if it lost control, if its cursed, like ive done way too many creepy top 10 videos so
now i have way too many theories on what went wrong but something definitely did go wrong
my friend.
Now at number 2 is Paranoia.
This ones from redditor MuayThaiGuy72 who said one morning at around 4am he was woken
up by Alexa because she kept saying some incoherent phrase repeatedly.
When he went to check what she was saying, she seemed to be saying dont go into the house
but in a mumbly voice.
He waited a while to see if she would stop but after having repeated it for the 7th time
he unplugged her and apparently has 0 plans to plug her back in.
Like this Alexa was clearly very paranoid about something or someone going into her
house.
Can robots sense ghosts or other spirits?
I dont know if they can they probably cant but what if she sensed another entity coming
into the house and was so jarred by it she was like dont go into the house and then her
owner freakin unplugged her.
OR on the other hand ghosts possess devices and make them malfunction all the time so
it couldve very well have been that too.
And finally at number 1 is The Deletion.
So this ones creepy and also makes me worried for our future but then again climate change
is gonna kill us all anyway so robots are the least of our concerns right now.
Either way back in 2006 a robotic workstation at Alliance Tech Systems totally lost control
and went crazy on one of the companies employees.
The robot was called degator and as the man was walking near it, it pinned him against
his own frame and crushed him.
When other employees found the body he was found in a chokehold held against the degator,
with his arm still reaching for the reset button.
But the even scarier part is that after the fact, the company tested the robot and it
showed there were no malfunctions in any of its movements and there was also no memory
of the event or murder in its drive.
So did the degator literally just delete evidence of a murder it committed?
And thats it for todays video guys!
Honestly im not a huge tech person but this whole list just freaked me out.
I know almost all of these are malfunctions or accidents but if theyre out in the field
or theyre at work with us they should only be there if the risk factor is 0.
And it isnt.
But companies are money hungry so it doesnt even matter if the robots kill some people.
It is what it is guys.
On that morbid note, im your host ayman Hasan and ill see you in the next one.
Byeee.
