South African National Defence Force brigadier general Kwena Mangope says the cause of the malfunction is still unknown.

Robotic cannon turns killer - The INQUIRER

machines are becoming self aware time to hit the gun store, and make a fallout shelter

i read about that, but i dont think it was particularily intelligent. i reckon it just had a faulty targetting system.

I, for one, welcome our new robotic cannon overlords.

Actually, the correct spelling would be...

01000010011011110110110101100010001000000100011001 10110001100001011011100110010001100101011100100111 00110010011100100000011010000110111101110101011100 110110010100101110

B- for effort though.

Meh faulty system after a malfunction, The gun it's self hasn't become self aware it was just a malfunction, that tragicly killed a few people.

What is it with the human race that we are not satisfied with a simple explanation, we have to invent reasons like the machine was becoming self aware an decided to kill some one?
