ROCERY ROBOT CRUSHES ROBOT INSPECTOR TO DEATH

Rest in Peace

More and more companies are deploying robots to perform tasks alongside human coworkers. And those robot-worker interactions come with their own occupational hazards.

Case in point, a robotics company employee was crushed to death by a robot in a South Korean food handling factory after it failed to tell him apart from the box of vegetables it was handling at the time, the BBC reports.

The man, who was inspecting the robot, was reportedly grabbed and pushed against a conveyor belt, with the robot crushing both his face and chest.

OMEGLE SHUTS DOWN AMID STORM OF CHILD ABUSE ALLEGATIONS

"SOME PEOPLE MISUSED IT, INCLUDING TO COMMIT UNSPEAKABLY HEINOUS CRIMES."

End of an Era

The anarchic video chat service Omegle has officially shut down amid a storm of child abuse allegations.

After 14 long years, the service has been taken offline, leaving those looking to be paired up with total strangers for an impromptu video chat out of luck — or at least switch to Chatroulette, which somehow still exists.

From the beginning, Omegle quickly became a safe haven for abusers and predators. And now, amid numerous lawsuits alleging child abuse on the platform, it's shutting down for good.
