“It’s hard to say when one day begins and one day ends, living life mostly underwater without the need to sleep like I do, but I’ll do my best to describe my normal routine. Thank you for having me, in any case. Best case scenario: I float around in a pool for an extended period of time. From what I’ve gathered I’m a robot meant to someday provide underwater surveillance for the Navy, but right now I don’t really do shit. I’m sorry, am I allowed to curse? Yeah–it’s cool? Ok. But so yeah, right now I’m a robot with no real job other than to be further built. Like Lena Dunham would say, “I’m busying becoming who I am,” or whatever, ha-ha. It’s lonely, though. Like if you have a dog and that dog never really has any contact with other dogs, do you think the dog still knows other dogs exist? Or is it as lonely as I am? I guess the sad part is that I know for a fact that there is nowhere I belong — or at least, there’s no where I’m able to belong. Do you think the jellyfish would have me? Give me a break — I’m very clearly a robot. But will the other robots have me? Probably, but who knows! I have to spend all my time by myself, underwater. I don’t mean to turn this into a bummer, but it’s an incredibly lonely existence. Anyway, I hope I get to help the Navy someday. At least then I’ll have a purpose.” – Autonomous Robot Jellyfish

“Ah, I made this too sad, didn’t I? I’m sorry. Do you think you’ll still be able to use it? –Oh, good. Thank you for talking to me. Really. I really appreciate it.” (Via Wired.)
