Yeah, sort of. But to fit in and thrive in the tech industry, ideological obedience and having no distracting interests or values other than "make the rich richer" are even more important.

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...

Even PhDs can say stupid things outside their expertise.

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)

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 3 months ago

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?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I believe it's a combination of "dark robot looks more badass" and a bit of white supremacy dog whistling from "black servant serving drinks."

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah those. But also in the second reading, the white part of the robot is clothes and the black part is skin, and checking the robot again yields a bonus sexual pathology reading.

Not as funny as when they just had a guy in a suit to represent what a humanoid robot would look like, but still good.

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