The Toyota baby automaton joins a growing list of companion robots, such as the upcoming Jibo, designed by robotics experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that resembles a swiveling lamp, and Paro, a robot baby seal marketed by Japanese company Intelligent System Co Ltd as a therapeutic machine to soothe elderly dementia sufferers.

This includes everything from early, early designs for these bags, for advertising campaigns for the EDC One, layouts of my shop, and then other types of bags, things I want to build, like a dinosaur costume, things I'm currently building, like space suit drawings and layouts and blueprints, and then stuff that I was ideating a couple of weeks ago in Colorado for making an automaton bird.

In non-environmental doom, Facebook is apparently helping to enable horrific violence in Myanmar, the president's supposedly moderating minder John Kelly said in an interview that "the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War," and Mother Jones reports that artificial intelligence will render all human workers obsolete in the relatively near future and the desperate, idle populace will devolve into mass chaos while a few quintillionaire industrialists gaze chortling across their automaton armies.
