I also know that in the second movie, the sequel, Eric made some huge advances with the robot suit. That just made it even better. You put the suit on and moved your arms then the robot's arms would move in sync with yours. |

We need your help. I need your help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important. |

When you start fooling around with drugs, you're hurting your creativity, you're hurting your health. Drugs are death, in one form or another. If they don't kill you, they kill your soul. And if your soul's dead, you've got nothing to offer, anyway. |

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. |

I always said that you can use the same vehicle although the driver will change, or the same vehicle to go for the race. It's a different driver, this is exactly what's happening to the cabinet. |

I sometimes think it ironic for an ex-seaman, longshoreman, truck driver, policeman, bus driver, etc... to find success writing children's novels. |

What I would say is Jesus came to save lost sinners like you and me, and if Jesus Christ has a burning desire to seek and save the lost, then you should, too, if Christ is living within you. If you don't have a concern for the lost, then I am concerned about your salvation because the Holy Spirit wants the lost to come to Christ. |

I am very grateful to the electronic world for making my life easier, but there is something about holding a book - the smell and the world of association. Even when e-books are perfected, as they surely will be, it will be like being in bed with a very well-made robot rather than a warm, soft, human being whom you love. |

You have the right to kill me, but you don't have the right to judge me. That's life. There's nobility in that. There's focus. It's genuine. It's crystal and it's pure and it's available to everybody, so just shut your traps and put down your McDonalds, your vaccines, your Us Weekly, your TMZ and the rest of it. |

Thank you... motion sensor hand towel machine. You never work, so I just end up looking like I'm waving hello to a wall robot. |

Bizarre futurism thought: Imagine a future where tech education is a mandatory component of schooling for all ages. Now, combine that with some kind of companion robot that kids receive when they are young and custom upgrade as they learn how throughout their life. Does the robot's development become an external symbol of the child's internal development? Would people have robot envy? Would rich assholes hire people to mod their robots in ways they don't understand (definitely)? STRANGE!

The answer here is to have the robot driver recognize the kid's face, access all his personal information, and then predict whether the remainder of his life is more valuable than the remainder of yours.

I had a dream where I was trapped in a house with a bunch of people and there were things that would kill you but every couple minutes you could say something out loud that was like a rule about what couldn't kill you. There were certain restrictions on the rules you could make but if you said "I can't die from a knife wound" then if you got stabbed you would come back to life. It was like a terrifying game of trying to predict what would kill you and making valid rules.

New Study Finds It's Harder To Turn Off a Robot When It's Begging For Its Life
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge:
[A] recent experiment by German researchers demonstrates that people will refuse to turn a robot off if it begs for its life. In the study, published in the open access journal PLOS One, 89 volunteers were recruited to complete a pair of tasks with the help of Nao, a small humanoid robot. The participants were told that the tasks (which involved answering a series of either / or questions, like "Do you prefer pasta or pizza?"; and organizing a weekly schedule) were to improve Nao's learning algorithms. But this was just a cover story, and the real test came af...

Secretary of state call #1: Robot says 1-7 and 9 are options to hear the robot talk more, so I hit 8 and it says it's confused and so I keep hitting 8 and it says "agents are busy, try again later"
SoS calls #2 and #3: I hit 8888 and the robot says "agents are busy, try again later"
SoS call #4: I hit 8888 and the robot says it will put me in the queue and then 5 minutes later it says "we can call you back when someone is available"
... so now I'm waiting. It's been 45 minutes so far...

I had a dream that Jerry from Rick and Morty was a giant monster and he was attacking me and I was running around this building and trying to kill him with a bow and arrow. My friend kept saying "hey are you ready to leave" like it was a videogame that she wanted me to stop playing but it wasn't. It felt like real life and like I was fighting for my life. Super weird.

I had a dream that I was in my friends new apartment and it was all dark and dank. We went up a couple floors of stairs and into his apartment and then I kept opening doors and going down dark hallways and the apartment just kept going deeper into the building. Eventually, I ended up underground in some secret tunnels and I saw giant robots and I was sneaking around trying to find a way out. I ended up running into some glass room that was really bright and filled with huge machines. A robot ran in and I think was trying to kill me and I woke up. Then I had another dream that I was in some building that kept changing shapes and ran into some person I used to know.

I had some dream that a guy was standing in the corner of my bedroom with a big knife. I think he was a thief and he was waiting for me to stand up to attack me and kill me. I had another dream where someone was trying to kill me but I can't remember what happened.

I had a dream that I was in this house and if you believed that there was something in the house that could kill you it would kill you but if you didn't think it was true nothing would happen to you. All these people freaked out and started climbing on things to try and run away and they died.
