    Ah… No more mushrooms for vegetarians or vegans then? Mushrooms are sentient now

      They are designing the chip of the robot to adjust movement based on information they can gather from the mushroom when it responds to stimuli, not the other way around. The mushroom is not in control of the robot.

    When given a robot voice, all it learned how to do was scream endlessly.

      I don’t remember this one, but it gives me strong “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” vibes. Am I right?

    As far as I can tell? No, but I just did a search of the onimbus for some keywords. The mental image feels very Adamsish though, doesn’t it? I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from somewhere. Props to you if you can find the source. Maybe it’s a Pratchettian quote? Or Giamanic?

      my favourite part is that when the fungi was given robotic legs, all it tried to do is get the fuck away from humans

    Employees are getting so expensive, they’re replaced with robot mushrooms? Didn’t see that on my 2024 bingo card.

    But it will happen, or at least be attempted if the technology gets there. You just wait for it.
