I remember seeing the poster for Independence Day before it came out. It was a star field, with the moon framing the bottom and an alien craft framing the top, with Earth dead and center. I remember seeing the VHS cover for Independence Day. It was a cheesy holographic image of the White House blowing up. I've wondered since then why they never used the poster.

Robots need a racist (speciest?) organization, there's too many humans expecting them to go berserk when they start existing in an intelligent state. Something loosely based on Greek culture, if only for the promotion of the "Zeus slayed his father/creator" myth as an ideal. The number of famous Greek mathematicians could probably be factored into this as well.

Man I'd hate to be one of the first sentient robots. Everybody would expect you to either work in dangerous conditions, be a slave to the wealthy, or slaughter people without remorse. Seriously, what if the dude just wants to play professional hockey? What if they ALL want to play professional hockey? What if they start worshipping Isaac Asimov as a prophet?

this is why i don't write journal entries when I wake up.
