The "deserving" are those who never ask and therefore never get, anyone who actually needs help is treated as a hostile external element within or without of society because of their crime of daring to demand what is offered, a truly hostile mockery of hospitality.

In response to a radical outpouring of love, loss, life, grief—expressed together, embodied, on the streets—we were presented with…a technology that severs us from creative expression, dignity & truth.”

This is staged satire, surely? A propaganda attack attempting to burst the AI bubble by further undermining belief in robot technology?
Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.
