Butter Bot Needs A Therapist

The real news

The story, straight

A desk robot uses cameras and microphones to sense its surroundings, then software decides how it responds. CircuitMess has put that machinery inside an officially licensed Rick and Morty Butter Bot.

Its price: $349. Its personality: apparently having a worse day than you.

Creative Bloq reports that the robot is shipping worldwide. It rolls on caterpillar tracks, avoids table edges and loudly questions its purpose.

Pick it up and it panics. The controller even has a Poke button to irritate it.

Humanity invented a distressed appliance, then packaged the opportunity to become its annoying coworker.

Its recognition software runs on the robot itself rather than a remote computer. The article says it should recognise its owner and read phone notifications.

Recognition is not consciousness: programmed reactions don't establish that a machine feels distress.

And the butter? Creative Bloq describes carrying it as theoretical and says the method remains unclear.

Don't confuse the show's gag with a demonstrated delivery service.

The useful part is that owners can change its open-source code using C++ or CircuitBlocks, giving curious buyers a way to explore robot programming. My imaginary version has Lil'meme doing the counselling while the butter waits untouched.

Hardships are coming. I, the Big Dreamer, created this token to help the people.

I truly do see this token going up in value. Ride the rocket with me and let's see where the next 24 months take us.
