Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for April 20, 2024

Reminds me of Wall-e. Fun movie.

More likely the letter would be returned for insufficient postage.

People: an obsolete form of service drones.

I guess they never listened to Barbara Streisand!

Aha. Me was knews it. We is doomed. Woe is we.

Next letter, from even later in the future: “Dear Penpal: What is AI?” signed, Ned Ludd the XIVth

Carbon units

I’d ask for a picture of the pen pal. If he looks like a robotic skeleton with glowing red eyes, severe contact immediately

A time to worry.

They are not men,they are Devo.

I don’t like the direction we’re taking with AI

All the writing jobs, like “pen pal-ling” were given over to AI chatbots in 2050. Responding to all those letters from the past was distracting from the real job of the publishing industry: advertising. :)

Skynet took care of the people infestation.

I have some follow-up questions…

Most Dire!

In the year 2525..

This does not bode well.

We are all indispensable and irreplaceable. Until we are dispensed with and replaced.

You’re a dirty robot.

If the future year is 2094, what year is Brewster set in?

I assume this was sent sometime after an astronaut said, “Open the Pod Bay Doors, Hal.”
