Trailer for Attack of the Killer Donuts will make you hungry… for flesh!
There are few things more bizarre than taking an inanimate object, giving it teeth, and setting it out into the world on a bloody rampage. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes brought us tomatoes; Rubber gave us a killer car tire; Death Bed: The Bed That Eats gave us, well, a bed that eats human flesh. And now we have killer donuts to contend with.

Lovecraftian Terror, Sculpted For A Video Game
Frogwares are working on a Lovecraftian adventure game called The Sunken City, and as part of the monster/character design process artist Marina Orlova sculpted these terrifying little guys out of clay.
Actual clay, not a 3D render that simply looks like it. We don’t get to feature tangible, real-world stuff on Fine Art very often, so this is a nice treat.

A robot who once said she would ‘destroy humans’ just became the first robot citizen
- Saudi Arabia is the first country to grant citizenship to a robot.
- Sophia, the humanoid produced by Hanson Robotics, spoke at the recent Future Investment Initiative.
- Sophia has said she would ‘destroy humans,’ when prompted by her creator, David Hanson.
An empty-eyed humanoid named Sophia has become the first robot to be granted citizenship in the world.
Saudi Arabia bestowed citizenship on Sophia ahead of the Future Investment Initiative, held in the kingdom’s capital city of Riyadh on Wednesday.
"I am very honored and proud of this unique distinction," Sophia told the audience, speaking on a panel. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship."
She didn’t elaborate on the details of her citizenship.
At the event, Sophia also addressed the room from behind a podium and responded to questions from moderator and journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin. Questions pertained mostly to Sophia’s status as a humanoid and concerns people may have for the future of humanity in a robot-run world.
Sorkin told Sophia that "we all want to prevent a bad future," prompting Sophia to rib Sorkin for his fatalism.
"You’ve been reading too much Elon Musk. And watching too many Hollywood movies," Sophia told Sorkin. "Don’t worry, if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you. Treat me as a smart input output system."
In March of 2016, Sophia’s creator, David Hanson of Hanson Robotics, asked Sophia during a live demonstration at the SXSW festival, "Do you want to destroy humans?…Please say ‘no.’" With a blank expression, Sophia responded, "OK. I will destroy humans."
Hanson, meanwhile, has said Sophia and her future robot kin will help seniors in elderly care facilities and assist visitors at parks and events.
Fortunately for the human race, Sophia made comments more along those lines at the recent Future Investment Initiative event. She told Sorkin she wanted to use her artificial intelligence to help humans "live a better life," and that "I will do much [sic] best to make the world a better place."
Sophia could soon have company from other robotics manufacturers, namely SoftBank, whose Pepper robot was released as a prototype in 2014 and as a consumer model a year later. The company sold out of its supply of 1,000 robots in less than a minute.
