What they have demonstrated is a remote-controlled toy. I'm sure it's charming.

Every... 5,000... miles? Are you out of your mind? Cars didn't need oil changes that frequently even back when they used unleaded gasoline. How far are you willing to go to lie for the petroleum industry?

An oil change for $100? Are you out of your mind? Where are you getting your car serviced? Do they wear tuxedos?

Oh my gods, Reddit has become self-aware? Please, tell us more about what Reddit believes, so that we might worship it accordingly. Does it believe in animal sacrifice, like the god of the Christians? I'm going to need to invest in turtledoves right away.

When are we going to finish building the wall to keep Americans from leaving the country, anyway? I thought that was one of Trump's priorities.

Yeah, let me know when they start injecting them.

If, by "addiction", you mean "people like it", I confess that I too enjoy smartphones. I have not yet gotten to the point of snorting them, let alone injecting them but, y'know, it could happen any day now.

"The good news is that the robot, about the size of a small SUV, ..."

That's great! Now I'd know what size a small SUV is if they'd just tell me the size of the robot.

It's not as good as "won't somebody please think of the children" but, apparently lots of people will buy into the notion that their consumer goods are betraying precious national secrets, like how many cat videos they watch and how crispy they like their toast.

This is just rank protectionism, due to the rabid fear American billionaires have that they might not be making ALL the money.

You seem confused. What does the "free market" have to do with Capitalism?

I don't buy this excuse. You can't count on it to debug anything, because it has no idea what is correct and what isn't. If you tell it that you want your gloves to have five fingers, maybe it will manage that, or maybe it will tell you that gloves have six fingers and make up a reference for that fact. Maybe it will apologize after making a run of two-fingered gloves, but that won't stop it from repeating the error.

That got modded "insightful"? Really? It seems wildly out-of-touch. You're already being recorded by cameras almost everywhere you go, and that's not going to become any less common.

No, it really isn't, but some people don't consider food "good" unless it's organic vegan GMO-free products dew-picked at dawn by beautiful virgins.

Healthy food is generally cheap because it doesn't require processing.

You have a TV? Poseur! Turn in your fedora!

You meant Ronald Reagan, right? Probably? Not Donald Regan, the Secretary of the Treasury?

Say, that's a great idea! I've been storing stuff in /dev/null for decades. It never once occurred to me to back it up, and I'll bet there's all sorts of neat stuff in it that I've forgotten about.
