"So don't start with the Skynet, okay?"
Apart from that line, I thought the article was quite short and to the point, with no attempt at humour.
But that line was surely intended to provoke such responses as I've seen above.
For my part, I think it's way to early to find humour in someone's death, and certainly too early to imply that he may have contributed to his fate by being stupid in some way.
It is of great interest to all of us that the reason how/why it happened is thoroughly investigated and reported on. We're more and more expected to trust to machines and their programming out in the real world and we need the causes of such accidents to be fully exposed.
