"A college student accused of killing his roommate asked Siri for advice on hiding a body the day the man went missing..."

"Pedro Bravo... told Apple's digital assistant Siri: 'I need to hide my roommate.'"
In response to this, Siri said: 'What kind of place are you looking for? Swamps. Reservoirs. Metal foundries. Dumps.'...

The pair had gone to Best Buy to buy a Kanye West CD when they had a fight in the car.

Sounds like Siri should be charged as an accessory after the fact.

Dating your pal's ex. Sleeping with someone BEFORE you break-up with someone else. Whatever:

Fucking with our most powerful emotions, like that, are idiots asking to die.

I make no apologies for thinking so,...

While the sample size is admittedly small, this proves the theory that the desire to listen to Kanye leads to homicidal impulses.

Ha! We once asked Siri where to hide a dead body (just as a joke, people!) and she gave the same answer. We thought it was pretty funny. I'll bet her programmers never thought someone would be so stupid as to do it seriously.

It's funny until it's not funny.

In the CSI age, jurors are gonna need more than SIRI circumstantial. I'm sure Apple has a forensic machine they can use on SIRI to break the case.

I think he needs to be brought in front of a university administrative tribunal and if based on a preponderance evidence he is found guilty he needs to be expelled and take some anger management courses. That's how we are handling crimes on campuses these days, right?

Yeah, Pedro Bravo killed the joke.



(ps. What a great name!)

When I acquired an iPhone4 in 2011, my son immediately asked Siri "Where do you hide the bodies?". We all laughed at the responses....which were identical to the ones seen here.

The iPhone tracks the number of times the light is activated?

Is someone being fooled?

Don't vote for Pedro.

Siri should have dialed 911.

People still buy CDs?

Larry J said...

I'm sure someone will find reason to sue Apple and Wal Mart as part of this case.

Kanye West CD??

Can you still buy CD's??...and why would anybody contribute to the Kardashian cluster-fuck?

Another white hispanic on white hispanic crime! Kanye put Peddro in the frame of mind of murder. If Pedro had only asked Siri whether he should buy a Kanye West cd, or whether he should date a roomate's ex. Theoretically none of this would've happened. Theories are just like opinions.

Doh!

The big news here is that people still buy CDs!!!!

Michelle Dulak Thomson said...

Enh. Classical music listeners still buy CDs. Others, not so much.

[She says, looking at the CD library that's probably pushing 5 figures ...]

"Can you still buy CD's??...and why would anybody contribute to the Kardashian cluster-fuck?"

Both excellent questions. These must be hipsters using old technology that is becoming cool again, or something. CDs are the new vinyl!

As for the Kardashian trash, best to steer completely clear of that garbage. Not that I ever had a high opinion of Kayne West, what with his insistence on loudly sharing his amazing ignorance with the world at every opportunity, but his decision to saddle down with a human garbage can of no redeeming quality when he easily could have afforded to marry a tree stump and at least have the possibility of intelligent conversation coming from the stump, only demonstrates the depths of his poor taste. The less anyone has to do with that trash the better.

Crack - are you excusing violent responses to cheating?

I see a few problems with this story. One the kid killed his friend. Two he asked Siri for directions on where to his the body. Three he bought a CD from Best Buy. Four it was a CD by Kanye West.
I don't know which is the worst. I'm thinking it's the thing about the Kanye west CD.

If nothing else, doesn't this clearly demonstrate that college is wasted on some folks.
