It's telling to examine the similarities in emotional and computing vulnerabilities.

Many of the same security problems that existed in IPv4's implementation were not corrected in IPv6 (buffer overflows). One careless programmer can make a hundred thousand problems down the line with a brief lapse of attention (bounds checking). Constant vigilance and repeated testing of personal defenses are the only sure methods of safety.

And safety is a target in motion.

Generally speaking: how many times do you have to make the same mistake before you learn? Only once? Twice?



A hundred times?

I don't do domestic work, buddy!

[hacktivist]

Heheh.

What do you do?

[boozebot]

This. That. Sometimes both. Sometimes none.

[hacktivist]

That sounds time-consuming.

You're a very sophisticated artificial intelligence. Even though you don't look it.

[boozebot]

Do you know how long I've been waiting to hear that from someone in this stupid City? I'm future technology. These bozos haven't even come up with hovercars yet!

[hacktivist]

It is possibly because you're rude.

They don't understand how difficult it would be to program that.

[tldr they are SO UNGRATEFUL for Bender's presence]

Mr. Stark appreciates you?

[boozebot]

Of course. But not many have the fine eye for quality robotics that you clearly have.

[hacktivist]

Heheh. I do like machines. [more than people.]

When did you say you were from?

[boozebot]

Early 31st century. Now I'm stuck here.
