thorax · reddit · 2026-10-17
Reddit user thorax posts "Are We Giving Robots Too Much Power?" alongside a parody TV screenshot: a show called "IN THE KNOW" on the fictional "ORION NEWS NETWORK", with the chyron "Robots playing a larger role in many Americans' lives" — a classic Onion-style fake-news meme riffing on AI/robots. Purely a shareable joke, no real news.
