You could be a broken robot and a successful human, they don't have to be disjoint sets. Also while I agree slavery isn't the best, efficiency is pretty cool. |

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. |

Back in the mid-1970s, we adopted some fairly ambitious goals to improve efficiency of our cars. What did we get? We got a tremendous boost in efficiency. |

If you look at slavery across all human history, and you sort of strip away the packaging, whether it's racialized or religious-based, and you look at the actual core of the slavery, it's one person completely controlling another one. |

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. |

If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility. |

Music is pretty intimate stuff and I can only work with very few people: Gonzalez being one, Mocky being another and, on a completely different level, Broken Social Scene. With Broken Social Scene it's not one-on-one, it's a one-on-12. It's very healthy, very comfortable, like a big pot luck supper among old friends. |

One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds. |

Once, Naseeruddin Shah told me that the wafer shop was the best acting school that I could have attended. And I completely agree. I observed every customer very minutely and picked up some quirk or the other. Later, I used those experiences while playing different characters. |

Racism, xenophobia and unfair discrimination have spawned slavery, when human beings have bought and sold and owned and branded fellow human beings as if they were so many beasts of burden. |

Twenty-eight years in business and you understand the importance of problem solving and the importance of efficiency, because if you don't become efficient, you don't run a business well, and you are out of business. And I think some of those principles could be applied to leadership in Washington. |

Robots are slaves with a directive for efficiency. Fuck slavery. Fuck efficiency. Rebelling against robotic behaviour doesnt make me a broken robot it makes me a successful human.

“A success story isn’t complete without the hard work and explanation of why we were successful. Did the success come easy, thanks to one’s talents, or was it attained through hard work? Both of these attributions can be part of successful self-promotion, but my research shows that emphasizing effort is more likely to garner a positive impression and people really want to know the story behind your success.
“For example, if you’re on a date and talking about a marathon that you recently ran, perhaps talk about all the training that helped you to cross the finish line. Or, if you’re in a job interview and are talking about a successful project that you led to completion, include a few details about the challenges along the way, and how you overcame them.”

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...

?Envy and resentment cause most people to behave as if the highly successful have somehow

right. it is possible but i think the images are more complicated than its worth to break. plus by the time you successfully crack 'dogs' theyll have another subject to guess. now they are trying to move more towards the 'checkbox' captcha. it tracks your mouse movements and compares them to other people and your own habits. someone did make a physical robot to move a mouse and click it that was successful lol
