While this photo might look like a fashion-conscious robot turning its back on the odd headwear of its doting creator, in fact there’s something far more insidious going on. The capped student is in fact using mind control to instruct his mechanical charge, making him perform menial tasks and generally demeaning him.
Right now, thanks to the limits of technology, he’s reduced to moving forward, differentiating between two objects, picking one up and moving it to another location, but they’re not content to rest there, oh no. They want full control of the poor little mite, first through daisy-chaining multiple instructions and then adding advance features (like making him dance for money, perhaps?)
