I remember my cousin had a robot like that controlled by a guy for his bar mitzvah almost 30 years ago
The bazingas may be the stupidest nerds in the history of nerddom
"History is bunk," say computer touchers that don't know that they're bumbling into repeating history mistakes.
It always makes me think, like don’t they have to be smart in order to code, let alone work in tech?
Yeah, sort of. But to fit in and thrive in the tech industry, ideological obedience and having no distracting interests or values other than "make the rich richer" are even more important.
don’t they have to be smart in order to code,
All evidence points to the contrary
Absolutely not. You do have to be able to code and debug in order to code, and even then, some people...
Even PhDs can say stupid things outside their expertise.
@[email protected] you were saying something about mechanical turks the other day in regards to these I believe… lol
I saw the robot and I clapped! 
Robot good, Elon good!!
Shame @[email protected] can't reply

Huh. I guess I'll check the mod logs. 
Elon Musk should be converted into a Servitor.
Not as funny as when they just had a guy in a suit to represent what a humanoid robot would look like, but still good.
Wait, I just finally got around to looking up this story. Why are the robots wearing blackface? (or the closest approximation thereof possible given techno-minimalist aesthetics)
Because robot engineering requires we can see that their eyes light up red when they turn evil. You need a high contrast background.
Did you even study Asimov's laws?
I believe it's a combination of "dark robot looks more badass" and a bit of white supremacy dog whistling from "black servant serving drinks."
Yeah those. But also in the second reading, the white part of the robot is clothes and the black part is skin, and checking the robot again yields a bonus sexual pathology reading.
Just like that chess robot that actually just had a grandmaster playing inside the cabinet
Oh someone already referenced that
