Common misconception, they didn't repeat anything. They just gradually spoke more of whatever language they were in. The only thing that was kind of like learning is they could react to is other nearby furbies
Just to common sense check this: around this time the video games Seaman and Hey You! Pikachu came out with dedicated microphone accessories, had a video game console to power them, and they barely functioned. You think a $35 plastic toy will pull it off?
On top of them just being really fucking annoying, especially in a cube farm, they're also small battery powered devices with a speaker. AKA: a perfect listening tool hider. If you have classified projects of course security is going to ban them
Admittedly I am neither an expert on space nor data centers, however I was under the impression that both shared the same 2 primary problems: access to equipment and waste heat management. Despite space being "cold" it actually acts more as an insulator than as a heat sink. I don't understand what adding air based signal latency and worse thermal management will do to fix their problems, not that I inherently think these problems needs solving
Well she certainly didn't seem like the type to have a couple thousand in liquid cash to start her scheme. I imagine she borrowed money and then used her drug sales to pay back the loans. Or she owed a bunch of money. Obviously she was not a queen of good decisions
I met a woman who told me that during the pandemic lock downs she made money driving to legal weed states to spend tens of thousands of dollars on weed and flip it back in her state. She also told me that it was really boring so she'd frequently get above 100 while watching a movie on her phone on her dashboard. So that's who's out on the road with you
I mean, if history is any guide they'll either wipe us all out with superior technology, enslave us, or some space disease will kill us all. Regardless, I'd anticipate it going poorly for humanity
I would guess the Batcave uses something proprietary based off of Wayne tech because he's very paranoid. I'd also imagine it integrates some watch tower tech which is likely mostly from Cyborg
Charlotte isn't in that zone and they're behaving just like they are in other cities. In shocking news, the guys ignoring laws to do whatever they want don't care about this law
A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn't some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism
I'd like to share your optimism but I think we're going to be hearing about him for the rest of our lives. Reagan has been cold in the ground for 2 decades and I still hear about his bitch ass all the time
Paprika. The grocery store stuff may as well be red glitter for all its flavor. I go to specialty spice stores to buy a premium paprika so it actually has taste
Agreed, the fediverse is small enough now that living aggregate communities are preferable to dead specific ones. Especially because everyone hates posting something, getting their post removed and being told to go post in another very similar community they didn't know existed. As you said, if it becomes a problem you can just spin off
Recording and playing back absolutely could be done, but learning words the way people said they were at the time was probably too tricky
