Extinction Studies<p>So the robot Assassin TV movie from 1986 was actually pretty interesting. Here's a (checks notes) male fembot who can learn, withstand bullets, carry on a conversation and satisfy a woman sexually, but his programmer has programmed a secret grudge list, so he goes off on a spree, and the Agency has to stop him without alerting, say, Congress that he even exists. Oh and trapping him activates his self destruct mechanism. So far ahead of today's robots it's ridiculous. And he's indistinguishable from men in 1986. As if.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/allthetropes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allthetropes</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/bionics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bionics</span></a></p>
