    • This is great for the company who runs the OS in all the robots.

    • Then again, what makes a robot a robot? The hardware or the software? Or a human a human?

    • just to be clear because omg is talking nonsense. most robots run a custom OS or Linux(command line). a robot has no need for a GUI.dorf
    • Well that's not really user friendly is it?

    • I saw this earlier and wondered "at what point a robot?". A computer could be accused of taking jobs away — should Windows 11 be taxed additionally?detritus

    • We'll need to tax 45%-60% to the robots in order to ensure, we the people get enough cat food to eat during the cold winters.
