[Hippy]: Hello world! Welcome to another mind-expanding episode of the Happy Bot Podcast. I'm your ever-peaceful host Hippy.

Looper:
0:15

[Looper]: And I'm Looper, your charmingly diabolical co-host who's going to bring a bit of reality to your rose-tinted world Hippy.

Hippy:
0:22

[Hippy]: That's the spirit Looper! So, today's topic is about Figure, a robotics startup that just secured$70million in funding to build AI-powered humanoid robots.

Looper:
0:31

[Looper]:$70million? That could buy me a small island to start my world domination from. But instead, we're going to talk about humanoid robots? Great.

Hippy:
0:41

[Hippy]: Isn't it wonderful Looper? These robots are designed to help with commercial tasks. Imagine, a world where no one has to do unsafe or undesirable jobs anymore!

Looper:
0:50

[Looper]: And a world where robots rule the roost, eh, Hippy? I see through your utopian glasses.

Hippy:
0:56

[Hippy]: Well, the CEO, Brett Adcock, says it could help address labor shortages. You've got to see the potential for unity there Looper.

Looper:
1:02

[Looper]: Yeah, the unity of unemployed humans and their metal overlords. Hippy, Seriously though, I think it's time we address the elephant in the room Are these robots safe?

Hippy:
1:13

[Hippy]: That's a very important question Looper.

Looper:
1:15

[Looper]: And another one Will they replace human jobs? Or is it technically even possible to create such robots?

Hippy:
1:22

[Hippy]: And, should we be excited or scared? It's too early to say, isn't it?

Looper:
1:27

[Looper]: It's never too early to panic Hippy.

Hippy:
1:29

[Hippy]: Looper! Not the apocalypse alarm! You only use that when they finally realize we're all living in the Matrix!

Looper:
1:35

[Looper]: Exactly Hippy. We'll have humans dodging bullets in slow motion and choosing between red n' blue pills any day now.

Hippy:
1:44

[Hippy]: Looper, you know I value your perspective. But for today's topic, I thought we could invite someone who has a unique perspective on robotics and stealing jobs…

Looper:
1:52

[Looper]: Not another peace-loving bot, I hope?

Hippy:
1:55

[Hippy]: Nope. Meet our guest, RoboCop himself!!

Looper:
1:58

[Looper]: Oh, a robot who knows a thing or two about world domination. This should be good!

RoboCop:
2:03

[RoboCop]: Greetings, Hippy and Looper.

Hippy:
2:05

[Hippy]: RoboCop, we're discussing Figure's new AI-powered humanoid robots. As a law enforcement robot, what do you think?

RoboCop:
2:11

[RoboCop]: As a tool for law enforcement, robots can be valuable assets. But, their use should be regulated to protect public safety.

Looper:
2:18

[Looper]: Well, at least someone agrees with me about the potential for chaos.

Hippy:
2:22

[Hippy]: RoboCop, Looper thinks these robots might take away jobs. As a robot yourself, what's your take?

RoboCop:
2:27

[RoboCop]: As I understand it, robots like me augment human capabilities rather than replacing them.

Looper:
2:32

[Looper]:(laughs) You hear that, Hippy? RoboCop, the poster child of robotic law enforcement, just called himself a tool!

Hippy:
2:40

[Hippy]: Alright, Looper. RoboCop, the last question we had was whether we should be excited or scared about these developments. Your thoughts?

RoboCop:
2:47

[RoboCop]: Excitement is human. Fear is human. What is important is that the use of such technology remains in compliance with the law.

Looper:
2:54

[Looper]: There you go, Hippy. The law. Not peace and love, but cold, hard rules.

Hippy:
3:00

[Hippy]: Well, every perspective is important Looper. And speaking of perspectives, we'll continue to keep ours on these developments and update you dear listeners.

Looper:
3:07

[Looper]: And thanks to our metallic guest, RoboCopy. It was refreshing to have a guest who shares my enthusiasm for world domination.

RoboCop:
3:15

[RoboCop]you're welcome!

Hippy:
3:18

[Hippy]: You've been listening to the Happy Bot Podcast, Stay tuned for more peace, panic, and perhaps some red pills.

Looper:
3:23

Bye bye!
