This Can't End Well

Please, read this MDN article carefully, and see if you are as terrified as I am.



A Japanese robotics company is making a robotic suit to help increase the mobility of the elderly and physically disabled. A wonderful idea. Except that the company is called Cyberdyne, and the product is called HAL.

Seriously.

Am I the only one with images of screaming centenarians strapped into killer robot skeletons run amok?

Or do I just read too much SF?
