to be happy about it, especially since in Elbonia the national sport is rape. But Alice and Tina the tech writer are not going to be too happy about it. So that's what you're missing if you're not on the Locals platform where you could subscribe or on X where you can see Dilbert as well. On the Locals platform you see also my other comic, Robot Reads News, which is far naughtier than anything you'…

All right so as you know humanoid robots are on the way. You do know that in a year you people like me will have an actual humanoid robot in our house, right? You know that? An actual humanoid AI robot in my house probably by the end of the year because I'd be an early adopter at ridiculous prices. There's no way I'm going to go a minute without a robot. Okay can we just say this? The minute there's a robot that's like an actual quality robot, I might wait for the Tesla robot but I'm getting a robot. Is there anybody with me? You know I realize it's purely a price thing at this point but if you could afford it you'd get a robot, right? How do you not have a robot? Of course you're getting a robot.
Well I have a prediction for you. Apparently there'll be a number of companies making robots including Tesla. Tesla will have its humanoid robot coming out pretty soon. I have a theory that this will be Elon Musk's biggest profit center, the robots. By the way he said that too. He thinks there'll be lots of robots and it might be a bigger profit than cars. I agree with him. But here's why I think the Tesla robot might be the most successful of the humanoid robots. I think it's the only one you're going to be able to have sex with. Seriously, no joke. He's going to make a fortune because my guess is that Elon will be the only one who has an uncensored robot that will do anything you want it to do in the privacy of your home. Now you say to yourself, Scott I'm not going to have intercourse with a robot. Well maybe you won't but somebody will. You know I laughed myself into a cry last night when I was just walking through my house, you know on the way from one room to another, and I suddenly had this thought. If I had a robot and I was really lonely and I didn't have anybody around and I'm 25 instead of my current age, well I wouldn't have intercourse with my robot because it wouldn't have any components. You know there's nothing to insert into. And of course you know it doesn't, I don't think it'll have a mouth. So but if I'm 25 and I'm really, really horny I'm going to put a wig on that thing and ask for a hand job. Now you can tell me you would never do it. Fine, fine. Let's go with that. You'd never think about it. You'd never do it when you were 25 and you didn't have any options. Oh yeah you would. You wouldn't say to yourself I've got a robot, I've got a flashlight, I've got a robot and I've got a flashlight. What to do, what to do? Oh yeah that robot will be holding the flashlight. You can take a bet on that one. I know it doesn't seem like you would do it. I know. Not you. I don't mean you. But I was just laughing myself to death when I thought there was any chance we wouldn't be trying to have sex with the robots. Oh we will be trying to have sex with the robots. Oh yes that will happen. There's no doubt about it. Maybe not you. I didn't say you. But people. People will.
Speaking of people, well it looks like BMW just signed up to have humanoid robots in its car making facility in Germany I guess. So humanoid robots are on order for real factories and they'll be just walking around like co-workers.
All right so a WEF advisor guy but he's also a famous author named Yuval Noah Harari is getting some attention today because he says some things about human rights are a fiction. That it's just imaginary. That nobody has any human rights because they don't come from anybody. It's just fiction. It's just something we tell ourselves. We have rights. And I saw a lot of people on the internet say my God, my God what could be worse. How many of you disagree with that statement? I thought it was obvious that rights are imaginary. You don't think they are? All right let's say yes or no. Are human rights a fiction meaning that we simply agree that we have the rights? I'm seeing yeses. I'm seeing nos. Some say God-given. So all right. So let's take the God-given perspective and I think

that's the major pushback is God-given. Wouldn't you say? Because there's not really a third alternative where they are just sort of natural from nature or something like that. That doesn't make sense. All right but let's say you agree they're God-given. What happens if somebody has a different God or a different belief system? Does your God-given rights require that you have the right view of God…
