I’m absolutely not against robits in the home, I think the possibilities are really cool but like… Alright actually, here’s a side by side comparison:
Alexa can play Skyrim tho
Damn you’re right.
I’m on mobile can somebody add that as a point for Roomba.
here you go
Roomba creates maps of the inside of your house
You’re like the 400th person to add this so:
This is the outline of my bedroom, with approximate furniture. Information I might not want handed out to the government or corporations or whatever. Not even including dubious terrain like rugs and clutter:
Here’s what a roomba, at floor level, with clutter and obstructions and stuff-under-stuff might be able to ‘map’ as navigable area:
This is completely useless to anybody except people developing robot vaccuums who might want diagnostic data. This isn’t even close to the level of Alexa’s microphone bollocks. Hit Alexa with a hammer, Roomba is… Safe, for now.
I saw the red and blue and my first response was “Roomba is using this sensitive information for GERRYMANDERING purposes”
SWAT team, bursting into your room, having been briefed with detailed Roomba-collected maps: *avoids difficult rug*
You ever think about how in the Charlie and the chocolate factory movie veruca just gets thrown down the bad nut chute but in the musical she gets ripped apart
When I write a twist in a story, I don’t think in terms of “what will people never guess”, I think more like “How do I throw out just enough hints that some people start to catch on while the majority are still left guessing, but when the twist happens everyone can go back and see all the hints to it and realize it was planned all along”
Because frankly, people who change their twists just because some people figured it out are cowards who only care about shock value rather than the glorious art of suspense and mystery.
my advice, take some pages from the best twists in modern media. Like grunkle ford and pink diamond. They even had a red herring that fooled the fans for a while but still left enough clues for the real answer to be plausible
