I think it's funny when robots in fiction are just,,, super old and they outlive multiple generations of humans and are kinda treated as functionally immortal but irl tech is like "Your car is 20 years old???" or "I get a new smart phone every two years!"

Lemme see old ass bots who are mocked for being all ancient and outmoded and then when someone asks "How old are you??" it turns out they're like five.

#robots #sci-fi #NOT against old ass bots btw i just think it's funny compared to real life tech #deslotair has a bit of a mix #(glass is expected to live to 150)#(sprocket 50)#(the ship AI they meet is 123 and counting)#but overall i havent really leaned into this either #i definitely feel like it would be more at home in like ultra-futuristic capitalist critique sci-fi #that's meant to point out how weirdly we treat our tech #moral of the story is don't upload your brain into a computer: you'll be killed by software updates you can't download within the decade
