1m 42s Not all mechanization is robotics. Are robots just mechanization…with a face?

3m 14s Guess the hot dog dispensing robot’s name. Hint: It’s not “Weenie Mate”

11m 34s Where did robotics even come from, anyway.

13m 30s Obligatory commentary from Terry on the artistry of inventors and mechanical designers.

23m 0s Microsoft’s AI assistant named Cortana failed where Siri and Alexa succeeded. This is probably because the reference to Cortana (video game character AI) reference was lost on Terry and the other three people who attempted to use Cortana (the actual semi-functional AI aka New Clippy).

29m 20s Terry denies it and claims his bar is “actually very low” for the video game industry.

42m 30s Contemplating the Billion Dollar Robot Idea.
