Greetings Jackolytes,

The end is nigh! Three more days of funding left before Jack gets to peer behind the curtain and stride off into the unknown. But between now and then it would be great to break on through the 300 barrier. If you know anyone who likes some hard-boiled sci-fi, then send them in this direction: Sync City. If you know people that don’t like sci-fi, then send them to the same place. If you haven’t pre-ordered and still have a hankering to climb on board, now would be the time! Let’s send Jack off with a bang and a beer – pre-order Sync City!

Cheers,

Peter

Brobots has now broken 100 followers. That’s amazing, given that we just posted it only 24 hours ago.  People are already suggesting voice-over actors, including Andy Serkis and Nolan North.  

The big question is: what is Brobots really all about?  Here’s one set of thoughts we had:  

The year is 2100.  We are way past self-driving cars: artificial intelligence is everywhere, performing all of the mundane tasks that human beings no longer need to.  But these robots are boring.  This isn’t the the sultry-voiced AI of Her or the mysterious, come-hither AI of Ex Machina.  Because they’re made by Amazon, they’ve been programmed without personalities.  

Two brogrammers decide that this is wrong, that robots can – and should – have personalities.  They hack into the Amazon server which controls these robots and insert the "bro bug."  When Amazon pushes the software update, our two protagonist robots change forever – from robots to brobots.  And so begins an amazing journey of self-discovery and bromance.  

It’s Chappie meets Wedding Crashers.  It’s #Brobots.  

But also this is just one bro’s thoughts.  Please let me know what you think.  Should humans be in this world at all?  What are the underlying principles of brobotics?

Please share with your bro networks.  Thanks bros of both genders.
