They will definitely call us 'stinkers' and 'apes'

They'll feel so left out when we have breath-holding competitons. I feel sorry for the robots.

well at least you are now willing to admit that the "black people as robots" stereotype is a very real one -- and one that's worth fighting against. Thanks, Aaron! Peace.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 11 September 2004 00:21 (twenty years ago)

But what happens when someone passes them a beer? Does everyone laugh and go "haha as if the robot can get drunk!!" and the robot has to laugh as well, because he's programmed to be self-deprecating. "Fouls the machinery, you know" haha. And then they're like. "well why can't you just program yourself to be drunk??"

xpost: Curtis I remember that and I am so glad you remembered too.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Sunday, 12 September 2004 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Cyborgs are not like star trek's borgs: there is no reason why they would be persuading or forcing individual humans to merge with them. In real life, I imagine that collective-mind borg fantasy thing would turn out as a vacation resort: "share your life with us for two weeks this summer and directly benefit from the lifetime experiences of millions! You are welcomed to stay for as long as you like :-) "
