MFT: Die Roboter Incoherents - Tomatan & Janken

Remember that time when i wrote about Useless Machine? Time to add a new chapter.

We live in a world where people are able to prototype something pointless and cute while there are serious threats to the life of entire planet left unsolved and torpid. Because moneybags love stupid shit and "follow their dreams". Not that we don't need funny stupid things but sometimes things get way too far with. Case in point - these two robots. Both are fine example of a waste of time and skills.



This is Tomatan, a robot that feeds its wearer tomatoes. Because, you know, it is a thing, apparently. Nice and simple solution to a problem of being unable to consume tomatoes while running. For real for sure, no doubt. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice idea for a science fiction satire. But, come on, get real - this is bullshit... perfect in every way.

Just think about it. The robot is planted on the wearer shoulders. It is designed as a humanoid. Its body is a container for tomatoes, packed in a clip akin to handgun's. Hands of the robot take out the tomato and shove them to the wearers mouth so that he can stay focused on what he is doing and eat the tomato without occupying his hands.

This Janken, a robot that always wins Rock Paper Scissors. Let this sink in. Robot that plays and wins Rock Paper Scissors. Why? Because why not? It is like playing Starcraft with koreans. In reality, it is a nice exercise in developing machine learning algorithms of pattern recognition. AI needs this kind of feeding in order to enhance its performance.

But outside context - it is beyond pointlessness. If you believe the pitch - this robot never loses. This means he's on the streak. And that is something to build a competition upon. Who can defeat the undefeated fabuluous Janken? Kinda like Sword in Stone mixed with The Undertakes. And then someone comes and defeats the robot via shenanigans or clean and takes off him the burden of the streak so that he can move on, probably exloring the undiscovered country or something like that. Oh, this stupid thing is really good for overthinking...
