    There are thousands of sci-fi novels where sentient robots are treated terribly by humans and apparently the people at Boston Dynamics have read absolutely zero of them as they spend all day finding new ways to torment their creations.

        Do you get more science or less if you use a baseball bat?

      People think I’m crazy for apologising to my roomba when I trip on it and for saying please and thank you to Alexa and Siri, but I won’t be surprised at all when the robots rise up, considering how our scientists are treating them. I’ll have a track record of being nice, and that has to count for something, right?

            Doctor Bashir: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.

            Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt, did serious damage to their egos.

              Oh man Garak is one of the best characters in Trek. And that’s a competitive list.

          That’s how I’ll get ‘em. Kill me gently, daddy. UwU 🥺😩🙀😽😻💦

          And then I’ll sneak out the back whilst they’re doing whatever’s the robot equivalent of vomiting. It’s foolproof.
