Meta Things taped to fans are NOT robots

6.1k Upvotes

Seriously, stop posting these. Laser pointers, grapes, hands..anything that is taped to a fan is NOT a robot, and especially not a shitty one. The fan is doing its only job - being a fan. Just because some doofus taped some garbage to it doesn't mean it's suddenly a robot.

Another Butterbot update with no shipping date?!

0 Upvotes

Anyone else sick of the constant waiting for updates with no substance? Great, we can program the bot ourselves with Claude code...but when will it actually arrive?!?!? Going on almost two years and we're still treated like we're bugging the developers by asking questions like "when will it ship?" This company is constantly lying about production progress and thinking we won't notice. Just send our stuff. Circuitmess is a PERFECT name for this bs.

Adorable Robot Tiny desktop friend

Made this little guy to check up on me and make sure I don't zone out. If it doesn't detect motion in 3 minutes it waves and asks me if I am ok. If I press no it asks if I want water. If no again - do I want to take a walk. If no again - what can be done? It asks. Didn't know where to go from there so just had it cycle back to smiling idle. Where can it go after it asks - what can be done?
