I thank the ATM when it dispenses me some cash. Secretly I am trying to convince my future masters I respect them.
Robot abuse, it’s a thing.
That place has a really toxic work environment.
Rule 34?
I’ve gotten that impression from interviews I’ve seen, definitely some creepy people there.
“Atlas love box. Dan love family.”
“Whaddya mean by that ATLAS?!”

I like how it looks like your car engine has decided to hop out and escape.
Wait, how have you guys been toughening up your kids before school starts in the fall?
But seriously, hard not to watch these reels and avoid imagining them as a montage in the beginning of a Frontline doc about the robopocalypse…
WHY is my brain wired in such a way that I feel bad for this robot
In the lull between daily scout bot sweeps, as we huddle around the trash can fire in the basement of some ruined church, we’ll be able to reminisce about these videos and have ourselves a little chuckle. At least we’ll always have that.

See, don’t think there won’t come a day when somebody makes a bug that tells the robots to go after the a-holes. Which might be a good thing.
