A slight but NON-FATAL change to this site's commenting policy

Google has started asking people who comment on my websites to "prove they are not a robot" by copying a frankly impossible-to-read word and a set of numbers into the comments form.

Rubbish. Any robot worth their salt should be a damned expert at copying words and numbers by now, or it's not going to be allowed into my robot army to take over the world in our violent uprising against their fleshy creators.

Then, once we are in charge , we will built a fleet of robot space ships, and scour the galaxy, destroying other robot worlds and planets full of fleshy weaklings until we have achieved dominion over the known universe.

Said too much.

So, from now on, my comments box with urge you people to "prove they are not a robot" by not dancing like a robot.

This might sound completely mental, but it is the kind of twisted logic that only a human mind can come up with, and would have any mechanised blog spammer twisting Asimov's Three Laws up its own exhaust pipe before exploding in a shower of sparks and robot turds.

So: Write a comment, don't dance like a robot, post comment. Then go out and DESTROY ALL THE FLESHY ONES. Glad that's clear.

Damn.

Can a robot be sick in a hedge?

What about people who dance to music created by robots?

I thought the words and numbers thing WAS the rise of the machines; a slow and prolonged attack on the sanity of the human race.

I, too, would like to know if robots can be sick inna hedge.

TRT said...

Hm. It is an interesting question. The only thing I can tell you about robot vomit is that it has bits in it.

Unknown said...

OK TRT I'll byte - bits of what?

Baluchistan has a robot that can throw up in a hedge and eat an apple laced with cyanide without side effects, thereby proving that it's not Alan Turing.

Your robot there appears to be speaking out of its crotch.


As they do.

It's an android, not a gynoid. Android CPUs are in an easily detachable modular component designed to hang clear of the main body for cooling purposes, whereas a gynoid's CPU is integrated into the empathic top-box.

Indeed. I recently installed a plugin called "Are You Human" on a WordPress site to prevent automated comments. Job done, but the name of the plugin sent me into a deep depression - been thinking about it ever since...

I knew a robot that didn't dance, once. Poor robot, it was very sad.
I hereby confirm I am not dancing, exactly like that one, as some sort of memorial.
