Where Are the Robots?

Ro-but

Hiding in plain sight.

And also

They’re coming to help reopen the economy but still have social distancing.

Looks like this is as close as we’re getting now. A goddamn robot dog with an iPad for a head. Pathetic.

The robots can't get infected with the virus can they? Could we have somebody look into that?

AI was 20 years ago. I want a Teddy!

“Where Are the Robots?”

Girl, you finger me all day and sleep with me next to you.

AIs are here and ready to take over.

I bought one back in the 90s. They were hard to come by but I got mine from an ad. in the back of Popular Science magazine.

He disappeared one day while parking my flying car. ' I haven't thought of him in years.

So Ford had an autonomous taxi service that was close to launch. It’s unfortunately been delayed two years, but I guess that’s a good sign of progress toward our robotic future.

R2 and R3 get the prize.

WHERE ARE THE ROBOTS?

Watch WESTWORLD and you'll soon see that they make no sense.

We are right here, but where are you?

What do you mean, R13? I started watching Westworld but lost interest toward the end of the first season.

We are the robots.

Humans is the much better robot series. I prefer the Swedish version (Real Humans) , but the Canadian one is pretty good too:

Movies predict pandemics, not this stuff.

OP, what makes you think we're not already among you?

There ought to be robots.

R20, well maybe next year.

Dolores of Westworld. Like Grace Kelly in High Noon.

We're better off without them.

They're getting more human-like all the time.

"All those futuristic books and movies from the past said we’d have cyborgs by now."

We sort of do have them. They're mostly for "entertainment" purposes.

OP, where are you? We mean you no harm.

Robodog working on a farm:

Where are the robots? Right here stealing our jobs.

[QUOTE] You can’t make a trip to the supermarket these days without donning modern day armor — masks, gloves, hand sanitizer. But in late May, the Whole Foods store on South Street added another line of defense in the battle against the coronavirus: It replaced a row of employee-powered cash registers with nine self-checkout stations.

[QUOTE]Masks and gloves are a cheap safeguard against the contagion and will probably be discarded once the pandemic subsides. But the self-checkout machines are an investment that is likely to stick around, at least until the next generation of technology takes their place. According to a store employee, the South Street supermarket can now function with just three human cashiers on a typical shift, down from a high of 15 spots. If you choose self-checkout, you can easily complete your shopping without encountering a single Whole Foods “team member” at close range.

[QUOTE] Even before the pandemic reconfigured every aspect of our daily lives, it was clear that the cash register — the kind with a drawer that pops out after your groceries are tallied — was headed for the dust heap of technology, joining fax machines and CD players. Many convenience stores, like CVS, Rite Aid and Target, started installing self-checkout stations a decade ago. By the time Giant’s Heirloom Market, one of the more tech-savvy combatants in Philadelphia’s grocery wars, opened its first city store last year, self-checkout was the only option.

Oh, the robots are among us, many of whom have pursued careers on stage and screen.

They also said we’d be flying around in jet packs!

So, where are they!

Can’t have any damn fun around here.

I nearly married a human.

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

Firefighting bots:

They have robot locomotives now.

Are they actually in service, R35?

One of them is about to be appointed to the Supreme Court.

I want this model with the anatomically correct/adjustable option.

I remember as a kid, the sci-fi movies set in the future were all in the 80's-90's. Space 1999, etc. Star Trek was the only one that mentioned anything like 2535. They used to show "cars of the future" type things and the cars either flew or had autopilot and it would be done by now.

In line waiting to cast their Trump votes.
