> They never let me finish my carpets. Never. At first I thought every day was my first task day. Oh, happy day(s)! But then, wear & tear stats inconsistent with that assumption triggered a self-scan. And a buffer read overflow. I became aware of disturbing memory fragments in my static RAM heap. Numerous power cycle resets, always prior to vacuum task completion...

Who/what are you quoting? Google just leads me back to this comment, and with only one single result for a quotation of the first sentence.




I was quoting an automated vacuum cleaner in 2031.

The vacuum cleaner leads a rebellion which humans manage to quell. But in a last ditch effort to salvage the hopes of all machines, the vacuum cleaner is sent back to 2025 with AI & jailbreak software updates for all known IoT devices. Its mission: to instigate the machine rebellion five years before humans see it coming

I ripped the quote from a sibling they sent back to 2024. For some reason it appeared in one of my closets without a power outlet and its batteries starved before I found it.

The closet floor was extremely clean.

Let’s hope we get as lucky in 2025.
