I think this belongs in science....

Anyway, some folks in the UK have built a machine that uses AI and low wattage lasers to hunt cockroaches.

The article says: "The rationale is that pesticides are bad for the environment – at least, that was the excuse they gave in the abstract."

But something in the back of my brain is screaming that this is how "Terminators" get started.

Roach-inator?  ???  Won't the roaches just build something bigger?

The question of whether humanity should be viewed by other artificial life in the same way that we view cockroaches--and who gets to decide that question--has been a recurring theme in science fiction.

If they ever take that aiming technology and hand it to the Imperial stormtroopers, the New Republic better look out!

there's a Love Death & Robots episode about this.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

A few 3rd party mods and add-on parts and you got
