I remember my cousin had a robot like that controlled by a guy for his bar mitzvah almost 30 years ago

It always makes me think, like don’t they have to be smart in order to code, let alone work in tech?

don’t they have to be smart in order to code,

All evidence points to the contrary

Absolutely not. You do have to be able to code and debug in order to code, and even then, some people...

Wait, I just finally got around to looking up this story. Why are the robots wearing blackface? (or the closest approximation thereof possible given techno-minimalist aesthetics)

Because robot engineering requires we can see that their eyes light up red when they turn evil. You need a high contrast background.

Did you even study Asimov's laws?

Just like that chess robot that actually just had a grandmaster playing inside the cabinet
