I don't like the guy either. But it is clearly an art project, never to actually be used.

Wdym? Just ordered three of these for me and my friends :D
Can I have one of your extras since you'll still have another as backup in case the first doesn't work?
It's unsurprising that this man became a creator of autonomous weapons systems
What are these tubes? It's boring. My suicide helmet consists of a VR headset and a Magnum taped to it. It would triger a second after I make one gramatical mistake
triger
Rip
And gramatical too.
Just a classic russian way to go: two shots in the back of the head.
Don't worry, that was just an orthographical mistake. :D

Just in case anyone's wondering. The top image is a joke article that was made a while back, not a real product.
not really a joke article because the guy did make it, but it also isn't a product, it was just an 'art project' by the guy
Not a joke, he actually did make it. But it's a custom build, not intended for production, and not intended to actually be used by anyone.
Not intended for production yet.
Aww, not intended for production you say
Dude dumped his ill gotten facebook bucks into a murder drone company, so it's not exactly far fetched.
I figured if anyone was killed by this device it would cause a running mess of cascade lawsuits, even if it served as intended and killed the one who signed the TOS.
Then consider if the goggles glitched and activated on a false positive or if someone's kid tried the goggles on for a game.
This is why piracy deterrent payloads only extend to humiliation or stern warnings (rather than destruction of data or hardware). We can't restrict activations to perfectly just situations.
Something to think about as US law enforcement continues to kill Americans at four-plus a day.
What TOS? Did you read it?
In this case hypothetical, say, if they sold the working goggles as a novelty. Even for most relatively safe electronics there's a long list of don'ts that often rule out normal use (let alone typical use). Infamously VR goggles sometimes cause epileptic seizures even in people susceptible to epileptic seizures.
Some judges recognize no one reads TOS or can understand the legal language. Others (such as SCOTUS) beieve the draconion terms in the TOS are enough to absolve the manufacturer of responsibility.
WTF are you talking about?! There is no TOS because there are no end users and this is just an art piece!
Uhhh... they're making it clear that this is a hypothetical, in which the goggles get sold to end-users.
Maybe try reading the words on your screen next time?
Inspired by the SUICIDE HELMET:

jesus you don't have to yell
It is pointless to question who someone really is. All you can do is believe and accept. Because the way you perceive someone is their true identity.
The show gets a ton of hate, but I thought it was a fun thought experiment with some interesting results.
At first it sort of was. But then it turns into a romance cringe anime and it's all pretty much downhill from there.
Seriously, everything up to the introduction of Alfheim was fantastic, to me.
Then they just kind of... went a different direction with it. I even liked the romance story arc until they turned her into a fuckin Damsel In Distress.
Hey NAL but creating this is likely a felony.
Sounds like a skill issue. Just don't die and you won't die.
Okay, John Kramer
I'm sure creating it with the intent to sell it or distribute it would be, but if it isn't illegal to buy and use the explosives then I doubt it would be illegal to attach them to your own possessions on your own property
Booby trapping is illegal
Maybe if the headset was a booby trap and wasn't an art piece. It's also not a booby trap at all.
it's not a booby trap if you don't plan to trap people with it
It is if they can be.
This would have to be in a locked cage to fully avoid liability.
why? It's not like they're trying to hide the fact that it explodes or trick people or anything. I highly doubt what ever explosive system it has is kept armed either.
Hm yeah good point. IDK I was just grumpy or something.
Darnit, you were supposed to interpret Sword Art Online as an example of what not to do!
