Bipedal robots will replace human labour and the first person to make them inexpensive will become unfathomably wealthy.

How much did slack go for? 30 billion? For a shiny chat client with fewer features than the 25 year old tech they ape.

Animatrix: Second Renaissance. Sick reference bro.


If you're reading this and still haven't seen Animatrix yet, you must.

Absolutely stunning show of animation styles, story telling and great music.

IMO they pay for the customer base more than the app itself.


If the video is any indication, the 4-legged robots will take over first.
