    Lol I don't think she was high, she said her husband had thrown her out I think she was traumatised. Anyway I called the Deputy Sheriff he's a pretty good guy, he at least acted like he was concerned and said they were gonna find out what happened and try to get her some help.

    "The World’s First Robot-Made Burger Is About to Hit the Bay Area

    (Bloomberg) -- On June 27, the world’s first robot-crafted burger will roll off a conveyor belt in San Francisco and into the hands of the public.
    You could call it the freshest burger on Earth.

    The product, from Bay Area-based Creator, a culinary robotics company, is assembled and cooked in a machine that contains 20 computers, 350 sensors, and 50 actuator mechanisms. It does everything from slicing and toasting the brioche bun to adding toppings (to order) and seasoning and cooking the patties, all in five minutes. The meat is ground to order—why it’s touted as so fresh—and sourced from premium ingredients. It emerges from the machine piled with tomatoes and lettuce, sprinkled with seasonings, and drizzled with sauces, at which point it’s transferred by human hands to the customer..."

    "Cafe utilizing robot waiters remotely controlled by people with disabilities to open in Tokyo

    The cafe, which will be open on weekdays between Nov. 26 to Dec. 7, will deploy OriHime-D robots controlled by disabled people with conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a form of motor neuron disease.

    The robot waiters, 1.2 meters tall and weighing 20 kg., will transmit video footage and audio via the internet, allowing their controllers to direct them from home via tablets or computers..."

    Is this robot really going to replace a security guard?
    Or is it just an expensive office toy?

    If you attack a robot, it might photograph you in the act
    You probably shouldn’t fight one

    How expectations about robots are clashing with reality
    When Cogo Guebara pressed a button on a robot to call the police, she was instead instructed to "step out of the way."

    Not sure I should go down this road... but if you can be arrested for assault for attacking a robot, can you be charged with rape from an interlude with a sex robot if it were to withdraw consent after the fact? Or if consent was not first obtained? I know it seems ridiculous but so did the original story.
