Unfortunately, the only species that hurt and kill only for the sake of pleasure, are the humans.

I have been industry programmer (PLC and Robots) for 10 years and I can only tell one. It was very, very likely a human error. Worker getting in area when not allowed, safety rules missacted, bad programming of the robot, wrong safety hardware, etc, etc, etc... Which one(s)...? Only the investigation will tell. Robots are (at least still are) the smartest dumbs on earth, they only do what they are told to do, and mostly do it blind. So if you don't want accidents, you need to pay attention while programming, wiring, teaching, using or interacting. A co-worker found a meme in the net, showed to my boss and since then put it in some cabinets or robotic cell doors: "This machine has no brain, please use yours". You can't imagine what some production workers are capable to do just to get the productivity reward.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Oh, there are so many workplaces that can use that notice. ;) Thanks for the insight, I kind of figured it was something like that. The dolphin though... You can't trust something smiling all the time.

Um. You've never seen a well fed cat hunting, have you? :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Well, ok, I get your point. I remember of my aunt's cat proudly producing its hunt in the hall. On the other hand, cats have been domesticated and selected for their ability to protect their handlers' food stockpiles, for centuries. Pleasing the humans is some kind of written in their genetic code. But I cannot think of any wild animal that would chase another one for anything else than feeding itself and its offspring.

}Lots of animals kill other animals for reasons other than food, most of them are to do with territory or training the young, or simply the elimination of competition, but there are plenty of species which have been observed killing, and hunting for no obvious reason other than the enjoyment of it.

Well no. Fiends from Hell, yes. But... this is why they make better pets than dogs[^]

I love her reaction[^] to the reaction. Maybe it's just the people I know, but I can't see how no one has ever made that connection to her name before[1].

Had heard this two decades ago: "Switch on your brains first; then switch on the computer".

Could there be a homicide angle to this incident? I mean someone willfully programming the robot to do so.
