Thick-billed ravens (Corvus crassirostris) have no right to look as much like dinosaurs as they do
Asimov invented the three laws of robotics and spent most of his robot books pulling them apart and exploring why they wouldn’t work but why they couldn’t really be improved, either.
Most robot revolution stories assume the danger is when robots stop obeying us and start thinking for themselves.
Asimov’s stories suggest that the real danger is robots doing exactly what we tell them to.
I think that’s both more realistic and actually scarier.

Storyville - The Farthest: Voyager’s Interstellar Journey
Launched 16 days apart in 1977, the twin Voyager space probes have defied all the odds, survived countless near misses and over 40 years later continue to beam revolutionary information across unimaginable distances. With less computing power than a modern hearing aid, they have unlocked the stunning secrets of our solar system.
The golden record contains greetings in 55 languages, animal sounds and 27 musical clips from around the world, among them Chuck Berry’s Johnny B Goode.
It’s amazing that billions of years from now [after humans are long gone] Voyager will still be chugging along.
