Bummed GM Robot Contemplates Suicide

gm_robots.jpg

We imagine robot ennui is a growing problem as our mechanical friends become more complex and prevalent in our every day lives. We’re glad GM is raising awareness about this problem early on, as demonstrated in their we’re-obsessed-with-quality ad.

The ad didn’t bring much of interest to the table but we’re always at least a little interested in things, however non-human, that contemplate suicide over something really really trivial. And most things are. So, it’s probably safe to say we’re pretty generally interested in most people/things that consider offing themselves. Interested enough to report them, anyway. The GM ad didn’t otherwise deserve it.

Researchers who study charisma have found it isn’t a fixed trait some people are simply born with, training people in a specific set of verbal and nonverbal tactics — vivid metaphors, rhetorical questions, deliberate pauses — measurably increased how charismatic they were rated by others afterward.
