Stephanie and Michael discuss a few robots, from Amazon's Vesta, to Stop and Shop's Marty, to the mall security robot Knightscope. Is this a slippery slope into giving up even more privacy in public, or are these robots going to be more useful than that? 

Marty's in the header image, and here's Yoshi hitching a ride on a Knightscope at a mall in New Jersey. Michael occasionally updates a Tumblr of Yoshi pictures, if that's something you're into. They are usually better than this. 

I was going to play some of the AI generated jazz music Stephanie mentioned, but the contact was lost. It was being sent from an A.I. aboard NASA space probe Voyager 3. The same people do have an AI generated Death Metal channel though, if you click through. 

Do you want a safety score above your head when you are out in public? Are you a robot that feels you are being maligned? Reach out on Twitter with the hashtag #SafetyScore.
