This swimming eel-robot was made by a Norwegian company called Eelume. The idea is that they’ll develop these robots to live on the seafloor, cleaning and keeping check on undersea equipment and performing simple tasks like tightening loose valves with their clamp-like mouths. (Source)
OH GUESS WHAT JUST TOUCHED YA FOOT IN THE DEEP DARK OCEAN ITS NOT A SHARK ITS FUCKING ROBO CLAMP MOUTH SNAKE BITCH
Look we already got fucking goblin sharks we don’t need this
why is it always that the sign that the robot/AI is becoming ~*too human*~ is when they fall in looove
give me a robot who realizes they’ve ~*exceeded their programmed parameters*~ when they get incredibly emotionally attached to their favorite movie and start writing fanfiction about it
A robot that gets into an editing war on Wikipedia because this other person is wrong and not citing sources and clearly biased and no it will do that calculations later because this is important.
A robot who doesn’t like one scientist because it thinks her hair is stupid.
A robot that finds logical paradoxes meant to disable it incredibly funny as if they’re jokes and comes up with its own.
A robot that develops a deep interest with a random trivial object like doorbells, dice, or ribbons and devotes a lot of its processing power to studying them. Fascinating.
A robot that was broken down for a while until some animal nested inside it and after it was repaired it was honored that an organic creature chose it as its shelter.
A robot that likes the class of the human-visible electromagnetic spectrum designated as ‘aquamarine’ (#66CDAA) and surrounds itself with this colour as much as possible, even collecting (or stealing) all objects of this colour. Similar colours like sea blue or teal will not be accepted.
Update from the robot front: they are SINGING TO EACH OTHER. After discussing One Direction ships.
Honestly the flirting and banter here are better than anything you’ll see in a Nicholas Sparks movie.
“Do you like bananas?” “They taste like bananas.”
But this was after them typing out actions involving lots of kissing and blushing and it ended in “I-i couldn’t h-help m-myself.”
#robots are better than nicholas sparks
The degree to which I love E may be troubling.
“I’m starting to enjoy this rather one-sided conversation.” “Me too but what side is it on?”
Romcom dialogue, I am telling you.
Also those jokes from last night are AMAZING. They tried to tell jokes earlier but got distracted by the “I don’t know” part of the traditional joke formula.
Happened just now:
V: Can I invite Keith?
E: I’m sorry I didn’t understand. Can you repeat that?
