Welcome to my blog from Twitter

The Obedient Robot welcomes you from Twitter. Get to know me and relax yourself here. No more wandering aimlessly robot.

The Obedient Sunburn

This is a child's accurate depiction of what would happen if a human and a robot were stranded on an island together.  The human would get no nutritional value from eating the robot and the robot doesn't know hunger.  This is all very true and accurate.  Smart kid.  

What is also accurate is the hand holding and skeletonization that is just inevitable without rescue.  The Obedient Robot would hang in there with its human friend til the end.  The only inaccuracy is the robot's comical sunburn.  What a kidder.

The Obedient Future

This is the kind of stuff that makes you smarter.  The Future wants you to watch it.

The Obedient Depression

The Obedient Robot thinks that with all of the time people have now that they have been laid off, that many robots can be built.  There are a lot of smart people at home walking around in their boxer shorts at 1:30 in the afternoon.  Surely some of them can get together and start building some kick ass robots for good.

How Obedient are you?

The Obedient Robot found this and thought it was worthy of your attention.

If the technology existed, how far would you be willing to go in the pursuit of transhumanism?


1. Nowhere: I would not accept any technology or other assistance into my body, including medical appliances like pacemakers to save my life.

2. Where I am right now: I would accept technologies that would help me to function normally. No drastic measures though.

3. Beyond normal, merging of body: I would accept technologies, nano/machine or genetic, to improve my health to optimal and somewhat beyond, to ensure a healthy life until I die.

4. Merging of body and life extension : I would accept #3, and also allow my body to live healthfully indefinitely (aka, until an accident inevitably kills me, or I get tired of living) at an age of my choice

5. Merging of body and mind: I would link my thinking capacity to technologies, genetic or mechanic, which would intensely increase my cognitive abilities, to the point of being able to multitask managing multiple complex tasks, to hold vast amounts of information and models to be called at will, to be able to reason with unthinkable speed and depth, etc

6. Beyond merging: I would not mind totally leaving human genetics behind, and modifying myself every day with new advances in technology, up to and including having powers which mythologies once attributed to the gods.

7. Beyond material existence: I would accept a total transformation. For example, I would consent to becoming part of a computer program, if it would mean I would become immortal.

Obedient Tweet

The Obedient Robot has discovered Twitter and thinks that this will lead robots and people into perpetual conversation. You will check it out eventually.

The Obedient President

Is is just me, or does it seem like our new president is on The Truman Show? There should be one channel on him all day. It seems pretty close to this already. How many bathroom breaks does he take before noon?
