Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for January 05, 2022

He bot the farm.

Bob was replaced a week ago……and you are the first person to notice.

Saw a table on the street, with a robot sitting at it. Had a sign: “Will work for electrons”.

Welcome to your future primary care provider…

“Do you ever question the nature of your reality?”

I can think of several service industries that would love to have the guy at the table come work for them. But his English might be too precise…

And still the question remains, do androids dream of electric sheep?

This cartoon is an effort to humanize a robot. A proper robot would have been able to state that Bob was replaced six days, four hours, and 29.7 minutes prior to your arrival. Unless it has been programmed to sound “human”…. spooky stuff, this AI.

Is that you Alexa?

He responses are somewhat mechanical.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works!
