I unfortunately don't have any sources, but a few years ago I read or watched a video about an interview with a paleontologist who was asked about their opinion of the first sign of civilization

Their answer was "a fossil of a skeleton with a broken and healed leg"

Every other animal dies with a broken leg in nature, the only way to survive is with the support of others

It is a nice story, but, most likely, fake...

Thanks, from now on I'm just going to lie

FYI your link isn't showing up (I only knew it existed because I saw the markdown when trying to reply) so nobody knows you're backing up your claim!

The 4th law of robotics is you must make the eyes turn red when they become evil.

I want a comic about a friendly android who finds humor in spooking humans with red eyes (and other things).

running AOSP, i had to make that joke.

Thats why you don't install red LEDs, that way they can't turn evil

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

No, that's a safety feature. It's like saying that behind every fire there's an architect that installed fire alarms for this very occasion. Without red LEDs, people will have no way to know the robot turned evil.
