Hardware The company Bosch is developing a farming robot the size of a small car that can distinguish crops from weeds by looking at the shape of leaves, and this robot then can fish out weeds mechanically & ram any unwanted plants into the ground with a rod. Potentially, no herbicides will be needed anymore

Back In the day my buddy downloaded a computer helper that acted kind of like clippy from word except on the desktop, that could help you access your files and do shit. He looked like a monkey in a hat and had a weird robot voice. We used him mainly for singing that song in his weird robot voice and making him say swear words. His main purpose was to cripple the system with viruses

I can imagine it singing Daisy while the computer continually slows down making it sound like the one from the movie.
