To All Nations: Before you exterminate your robots

14-01-2004, 00:50
It has come to the Region 001 Robots Unite's attention that many nations are developing a fear of how intelligent their robots have become. It has instilled panick in many of your citizen, and many of you right now are carrying out acts of extermination. The leaders of Region 001 Robots Unite, The Free Land of Robots- City of 001, encourage you to send your robots, before extermination, to our region. We shall ensure that every robot is taken care of in the way we see fit.
Please, think of what you are doing. You are destroying valuable resources. My offer allows you to get rid of your robots, without having to waste the time and energy of destroying them. We wish to take them off your hands. Thank you for your co-operation.

Central Facehuggeria does not fear robotic life. We do not kill our AIs, not our Allies (one of which is a robotic nation.)

If there is ever something like you describe in our nation, however, we will let you know.

The Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus has no intelligent robots. We never have and probably never will.

All non-military controlled AIs here were exterminated long ago, after it was proven a fully sentient being can override programmed rules, which resulted in two robots killing a human.

We will ship you some of our prototype robots that are of no use to us any more and have been ruled as subsentient, as long as you send the transport vessels to have them moved in. These robots otherwise would be deconstructed by nanites for their individual elements.

It should also be noted that not all robots that we make are considered subsentient. Most soldier robots (with the exception of the v2.0 models) are subsentient, because we found that sentience often lead to contradiction in robots that could kill, from which system errors sometimes occured. Fortunately, our new v2.0's are fool-proof, but we still think that sentience in soldiers is mare coding than it's worth.

Robots are so twentieth century. Just crush them and use them for offshore artifical reefs. :)

The Dominion of The Zakarum would like to know if anyone is selling industrial robots for our two car factories to speed up production.

Please send me a telegram with the price and models of the robots.

I saw the Animatrix! I know what you're up to. We will continue to exterminate robots until they learn their place.

Incidentally, if anyone has a few to spare [even non-intelligent ones work; we can upgrade those in a jiff], our nation's robots are getting a little bored, and need some pets.
