You are in a desert, walking along, when you look down and see a U-Haul truck.

Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingedingeding!

Age of cussent

What makes you think your opposite-building neighbors actually bother with looking into your bedroom?

Did you catch someone watching, or did you catch yourself watching, or what?

​

Personally, when I look out the window, I end up looking at the outdoors part of the outdoors; the stuff going on behind windows seemed a lot less eventful than what's going on in the street.

But maybe I just didn't look closely enough.

Yes, it also depends on what you are. Also on when and where.

The catch, of course, is that you don't know when all of your actions combined over the day are vile enough to break the time loop.

So if unless you are very careful, eventually you'll break it but wish you didn't.

Makes sense.

Machines don't care what you ask them to do. They just do it.

Even if the thing you ask them to do sounds really stupid at first glance.

They simply aren't smart enough to put your own intelligence into doubt.

That's what makes them so likable. It's like active listening, except it permeates everything they do.

​

The one exception is robots that use voice/text recognition instead of an actual interface with optimized UX.

Especially robocalls. Those are particularly annoying.

So many free-hanging wires. I wonder how they avoid tripping when they fly down a corridor.

Because it's not about money. It's about sending a message.

Boredom is an emotion.

One has to wonder what such an AI's opinion would be on humans that aren't pets.

Probably the same as ours are on stray cats: "mildly annoying when they're in heat, and might carry viruses you don't want to catch. But they're too cute to exterminate and too useless to exploit, so we just adore them from a distance".

​

That said, there would probably be lots of "crazy cat lady" robots who go around "adopting" every stray human they see and luring them into cramped, unsanitary shelters.

Made it slightly less intimidating.

You have a good point: this photo looks like a tempting target for people who enjoy making everything into NSFW pictures.

If you think this is arachnophobia-inducing, just wait until a sufficiently dirty-minded person gets to it.

Needs googly eyes.
