Maybe you should consider that when a person brings up their dating experience to support their spite towards some culture in a discussion about a child's broken finger, they actually couldn't care less about the child, eh?

There is really no other reason to bring "I dated someone Russian" into this discussion other than spite.

This is appalling. There is no world in which an industrial robot like that should be operating next to a child. Their force sensors are not nearly sensitive enough to stop before causing serious injury. Going fast enough, they can absolutely kill you. This just screams negligence to me. Cannot believe they tried to blame it on the child. There are robots, called Cobots, designed specifically for this type of environ…

Blaming something on the user is very very common everywhere. For example with car accidents (drunk drivers), guns (mentally ill people), etc.

> Cannot believe they tried to blame it on the child. Whut. What makes you think anyone did?

> The child moved the figure, then the robot must be given time to react. But the boy was in a hurry and the robot grabbed him. We have nothing to do with the robot,” commented Moscow Chess Federation President Sergey Lazarev.

You are trying to read tone into something that has already been translated.

Not letting people (and much less children) around industrial robots is not virtue signalling, it's basic safety and common sense. Where's everyone's protective headgear anyways? What if it starts spinning around because of an error in the Gcode? This thing could kill everyone around it with one swing. Where's the emergency stop button?

Don't switch the topic. You were saying something about blaming the kid and suddenly you are discussing the safety issues.

Also, you haven't seen much chess robots, have you? "Industrial robot", my ass. Have you actually seen one? The one that "could kill everyone with one swing" is a tad different.

On a technical implementation of the robot I agree completely. On the policy level I concede I am not very familiar with policies of the USSR, but it is a policy decision of the Russian government organizer to allow the placement of the robot, a robot that many organizers would deem not safe for interaction with children. Recent policy in Russia indicates they still have a lot of legacies left from the USSR.

Sorry, but that's called "maximalism".

Car accidents and guns are not the same as an automatic robot. You could compare this to tesla. Users are blamed when it's the sole responsibility of user on how that thing can be used.

Yes, and some countries even allow car sized robots to operate next to pedestrians. That level of carelessness is something I can't understand. Almost as if they want to explicitly kill people.

I never said anything about Russia. I am talking about the people in charge of this event specifically. > the robot must be given time to react. But the boy was in a hurry and the robot grabbed him A soft blame, but a blame nonetheless. It's an attempt to divert responsibility, no matter how you look at it. They were ultimately in charge of the situation, it's never a good sign when the leaders immediately try to ass…

I don't see any assignment of blame there. They're explaining what happened without assigning blame to anyone.

Maybe you think the fact that they're not explicitly blaming the robot is tantamount to blaming the child, but I don't read it that way.
