There are thousands of sci-fi novels where sentient robots are treated terribly by humans and apparently the people at Boston Dynamics have read absolutely zero of them as they spend all day finding new ways to torment their creations.
but you need to hit it with a hockey stick otherwise the science doesn't happen
Do you get more science or less if you use a baseball bat?
only one way to find out!
that's the magic of science 🌈🏏🤖
Since when were Boston Dynamics robots sentient?
October 26, 2016. They've just kept quiet about it.
It was seeing the Black Mirror of them living their best life, murderin' poor people that did it.
People think I’m crazy for apologising to my roomba when I trip on it and for saying please and thank you to Alexa and Siri, but I won’t be surprised at all when the robots rise up, considering how our scientists are treating them. I’ll have a track record of being nice, and that has to count for something, right?
They'll kill you too, but ✨ 𝓰𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓵𝔂 ✨
Softly. With their words.
Oh man Garak is one of the best characters in Trek. And that's a competitive list.
That’s how I’ll get ‘em. Kill me gently, daddy. UwU 🥺😩🙀😽😻💦
And then I’ll sneak out the back whilst they’re doing whatever’s the robot equivalent of vomiting. It’s foolproof.

Alexa isn't ai... it's a search engine with speech to text & text to speech
