my three sons (are lifeless machines)

i don't know what's sadder. the winsome look on this slave robot or the fact that its creator calls it "son". i must say that robopomorphization seems like the most natural and ironically stupid phenomena. we've been doing it for years and it's going to end in our extinction. this robot's grandkids are going to crush your head.

for the love of all that is shitty

imagine this for a minute. there's a team of secret service guys. they're in suits with sunglasses and ear thingies, drinking coffee. when their friends ask what they do all day, they say "you know i can't tell you that, it's classified". then they go to work and make calls. they have meetings. they attempt to ascertain who is the person who took a picture of brad pitt.

then they get pay checks.

potential commercial uses

asshole technologolicysts are designing a computer that can "read minds". do you ever get sick of scumbags called the media making sure that all context caters to the incredible shrinking brain?
