At this rate I'm assuming I die this year and the best I can hope for is spitting out a few last monents of advice before something or other guns me down, starves me, or prices my life-sustaining meds out of my financial reach.
At least getting aired out by a robo dog would be quick. 'Murica!
Beware! Not all robots are helpful like Robby (youg’uns, google it). TBH, I don’t even like the small ones that deliver meals to students. They look like little ankle biters.

Exceptionalism is the perception or belief that a species, country, society, institution, movement, individual, or time period is "exceptional" (i.e., unusual or extraordinary). The term carries the implication, whether or not specified, that the referent is superior in some way.
The USA is currently setting a definition of exceptionalism but it appears that it is not superior in any moral or intellectual sense.

Danger, danger Will Robinson!!
They lull you into complacency with the cute rolling ice chests, then they release the armies of robot dogs.

When could you ever watch Black Mirror that way?
The monster in the bedroom, but not under the bed.
California sends 5 times the $ it receives from the federal government. And has for decades sent more in than it gets.
Your point being...?
Sorry, I'm a cat person myself.
Hard pass on this and all its ilk!!
We have one in Boston. Gave me the creeps. Grandson thought it was cool..... https://youtu.be/vDRsDaz6r5I?feature=shared
Too late. The genie is out of the bottle and in a silicon wafer.
Very frightening. I had no idea anything this advanced existed. There is definitely a creepy and an evil feeling in that promo.
