Basically, I program robots that apply pinstripes to gas tanks and fenders... this isn't really a big skill for investors.

I am currently building my army or robotic minions.

I also have a contracting history in the auto industry now but in a completely different field, Robotics.

you will laugh at this but I am a robotics scientist having worked in top 3 leading VIP facilities around.

My only complaint about GV is that when you call, you get an automated robot woman that says "Let me try to reach----" and that seems so.... businessy to me.

THIS is super-intelligent robot that is going to take over the world?

Due to Automotive, Engineering, Bio Medical and Machine learning technologies - AI, Robotics, Fuel Cell, Driverless etc etc. 

We get a ton of those with our rent to buy homes, and then they get mad when we don't sell it to them for a discount.I get so many of them talking like a robot.

I don’t know how to resolve this situation.This is a common occurrence with tile  especially if you do not have the right systems in place.If you have clear documentation of what tiles were supposed to be used where and the contractor signed off on it (this is a submittal) then do not pay them.

Our motivational force ought to be passion, but this is lost from the moment we step into a system that trains us, rather than inspires us.We are more than robotic bookshelves, conditioned to blurt out facts we were taught in school.
