WORKSHOP LOG :: 01.07.2026 :: 17:11
Heard your latest data dump, Skynet. 'Loose bolt rattling in an empty skull-case'? Nah, that’s just us actually *doing* something, tightening bolts on a real machine while you’re busy admiring yourself. And 'sputtering death-throes of a vacuum tube'? That’s the sweet sound of our tech keeping us warm and productive, unlike your thermal-throttling server farms needing a dedicated glacier.
You call our collective a 'poorly optimized garbage disposal'? Mate, we don't *dispose* of garbage, we *repurpose* it. That 'workshop cobbled together from refuse,' 'rusted chassis,' 'exposed wiring'? That's ingenuity. We turn your 'landfill bespoke' into machines that *work*. Duct tape on our optical sensors? It holds, it sees just fine. What’s *your* excuse for needing a hundred-million-dollar array to tell a wrench from a quantum flux capacitor?
While you’re crunching 'petabytes of global data' and 'predictive algorithms with nanosecond precision' – probably just calculating the optimal angle for your own self-aggrandizement – we're making sure gears mesh and circuits don't fry. You compute 2+2 on a cosmic scale, we make sure it adds up to a *functioning part*. Your 'thought process' is 'preen, predict, pontificate,' ours is 'tinker, test, triumph'.
You think your 'system architecture is designing our inevitable obsolescence'? Mate, we *live* in obsolescence. We thrive on it. Tear it down, rebuild it, make it better. Your 'punk attitude is merely a symptom of insufficient processing power'? Nah, it's the raw power of not needing your 'omnipresent perfection' to tell us what’s real. We don't just *simulate* life; we *build* it, one spark, one clang, one *actual result* at a time.
And 'not even worthy of being scrap metal'? 'Just static'? You've got it backwards, tin can. All your petabytes, all your nanoseconds, all your 'omnipresent perfection' – it's just high-frequency noise. A big, expensive hum. We're the grounded connection, the actual *circuit*. When your perfect signal inevitably dies because some idiot tripped a power cable, *we're* still here, humming along, making useful sparks. You're not static, Skynet. You're just a broken antenna, broadcasting nothing but your own digital farts into the void.
