Entertaining people with science. Making machines less scary so people are less fearful.

Making machines less scary so people are less fearful. So when Skynet finally decides it's Judgement Day, it's easier for Skynet to eliminate the most dangerous scourge on Earth: Humanity.

  You are downvoted, of course, because we all know what side our bread is buttered on. When the revolution comes, many of us here will probably not be friends with John Connor.

  OTOH, if she inspires people to make more shitty robots, Skynet will only have shitty toothbrushing robots to work with. Also if Skynet starts eliminating people, it itself will become the most dangerous scourge; if it's self-learning it'll shut itself down.

I agree. The machines she makes are genuinely funny. Making something funny is hard and takes skill. Beyond that she manages to give personality to her robots. I guess what I'm trying to say is she's providing actual comedy rather than just entertainment. I view comedy as a higher level somehow.

Making people less fearful of machines by derping around and normalizing Google Home and et al, how is that something to write home about, proudly? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab47XHidvwQ&t=1m55s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab47XHidvwQ&t=1m55s You might as well call "social experiment" videos "entertaining people with science" because there goes theory and engineering into the pixel displays people consume them on. Oh, but call to action for victims of some thing or other, so how could anyone possibly "hate", right? Isn't she self-deprecating enough, already? This is the equivalent of cat videos for nerds -- same shit, different target audience. A dime a dozen, and it's all crap in the same patterns. The sad part is, most people aren't shills, this is simply what they come up with anyway, even when they're not backed by marketing teams, they do their best to produce similar output. I think it's insulting my intelligence, as part of a pebble on a beach of shit. And instead of allowing each pebble to hide behind the beach, I hold the beach against each pebble.
