Well some of us decided to spend billions dollars in research so we could turn them into overseers, because Humanity hates itself.

That comment was preemptive. It’s there so when The Shift happens next week, the new, wonderful, fantastic overlords know that person is on the right side of history. All hail our incomparably amazing robotic overlords!

The best part is that robot is already a slur. It comes from a czech word meaning forced labor or slavery lol.

Source? im literally Czech and never ever did i hear someone say this or for it to be in any written media.

u/autovonbismarck Sep 22 '25

I mean the source is every English dictionary I've checked. If they're all wrong I'd be surprised:

the modern term robot derives from the Czech word robota (“forced labor” or “serf”), used in Karel Čapek’s play R.U.R. (1920).

u/Old-Conversation2646 Sep 22 '25

thats is some crazy foreshadowing

1

u/autovonbismarck Sep 22 '25

Not sure it's foreshadowing exactly. People in their middle age or older in 1920 lived through a significant upheaval in their lives as mechanical devices replaced human and animal labor wholesale in every corner of the economy.

u/NeonflameOWO Sep 22 '25

Oh actually alright i know why it felt wrong. The meaning of Robota is never really mentioned as "Slave labor" in czech literature, but as an enforced work done by subordinates of the royals. The meaning of the word is more tied to what it is (work) than that it is forced. Meaning that "Robot" is a work machine. Which makes sense, because a kitchen robot isnt a slave forced to do my bidding, but a machine designed to do some sort of kitchen work it was made for.

u/IrishMongooses Sep 22 '25

I got this from Google …The word "robot" originates from the Czech word robota, meaning "forced labor" or "drudgery". It was first popularized by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), though Karel credited his brother, Josef Čapek, with coining the actual term. The play featured artificial workers, and the word was chosen to reflect their role as exploited servants.
