Aperture Investment Opportunity #2: “Bot Trust”
Cave Johsnon here.
Fact: The key to any successeful cooperative test is trust. And as our data clearly shows, humans cannot be trusted.
The solution: robots! Then fire the guys who made those robots, and build better robots.
Then run those robots through a regimen of trust exercises. Creating a foundation of mutual respect, reinforced by the simulated bonds of artificial friendship.
Inspiring stuff.
And finally, we put that trust to the test.
Bam! Robots gave us six extra seconds of cooperation.
Good job, robots.
Cave Johnson, we're done here.
