I mean, not really murder, because the kid wasn't going to die by zapping itself with an American plug outlet.

That might have been attempted murder anywhere they've got 220 service though.

Alexa going psycho like HAL is new

but this is not the first time some unmanned machine killed someone, I believe it already happened with US and Russian police military drone bots with guns on them.

Oh, I know.

I'm really kind of writing this one with some humor. I know I was laughing WAY harder at that article than I should have been, more just the entire absurdity of the human race and the absurdity we find ourselves in because well... humans.


Did Alexa try doing that intentionally? Probably not. Has she gotten somebody stupid to kill or mame themselves before? Possibly.

She's programmed by humans. Anything is possible.
