tech talk: Why NOT to use robots
Now I realize that Robots from the strict Asimov viewpoint might be a helpful item, but this aint Novatoria and I dont have the neuro-gels that I need to make him like the 1248's back home. So what do I do? I adapt. I improvise.
Call it my special power, what you will, but by-golly, I can make me a artifical intelligent life-form this side of the vegan solar system.
Or so I thought.
Cypher is the andriod I am referring to. As you've read in the past, Cypher has been asking strange. You se it all started back a few years ago, when Charles (Doppleganger) and myself (Nightstalker) decided we needed a proper headquarters. Getting our place in South central was a whole adventure in itself, but thats for another day, so once we had our headquarters built, the underground lair, we needed someone or something to maintain it all while we were doing our day jobs. Thats when I came up with the idea for Cypher. Or maybe Charles did, I dont remember , but either way I built him.
Cypher does not talk. That was essential, that last thing I need is a chatty robot chewing my ear off about how sad he is, or that is wants a mommy and daddy. So Cypher doesnt talk, but he handles all the systems, checks the monitors and global stations and frequencies and alerts us to any issues that require our attention. So of course I needed to get satellite tv, the dish network, and alot of other government waves that I could listen in on. Its pretty spooky really to kn0w what the government is up to. So Cypher listens and watches to hundreds of channels all at the same time. Lately though he has been moody, and when I walk into the room, he is always watchig reality television. Not Resue 911, but stuff like Boot Camp and Paradise Island. So that was a tip off that somethign was not right.
Charles hasnt noticed anything but hes been busy and so I decided to do a diagnostic on Cypher.
His brainpatterns have totally changed. The pathways have re-written themselves, and connections have fused. Its troublesome, because all I can think of is that the TV he's been watching has rotted his brain. I'm going to de-activate him soon.
