We don’t have enough funky assed people involved in building robots anymore. It’s all assholes nowadays. Fascist police robots, tricky salesmen robots, neurologically manipulative sex robots… it’s all bad stuff. Where are the chill robot dreamers, who’s heart still has that ancient boom bap of the ultimate goal being so that we can kick back and fuckin’ enjoy ourselves, all together… not just manipulate everybody else? Makes me pretty sad, to be honest. The dystopia is so cheap and gaudy and all stone façades and resin spray painted gold, and there’s never any barrel fires or twinkle-eyed revolutionary love interests or even ally robots who have their microchips of artificial intelligence based on empathy and love instead of the coding of the grifter con artist. Oh well, fuck it. More copper to steal and sell to the junkman one day, I guess.
