The only cyborg I've seen get it right is Inspector Gadget.

Because I can probably name ten people right now who would go for the "motorized screwdriver in the finger" surgery, yet it so rarely shows up in fiction.

But that's the transhumanist future I'm waiting for

@foone NGL, I was a lot more excited about the motorized screwdriver in the finger until I got into robotics enough to learn (a) how hot electric drills get and (b) how often those bits break. 😉

Go search Clippy on Google.

@SwiftOnSecurity Interestingly, it looks like it hit Microsoft Hub (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/word/ok-if-clippy-was-pregnant-i-think-it-would-look-like-this/m-p/2062701) and was picked up by a Vice story (https://www.vice.com/en/article/xyj55a/microsoft-clippy-creator-interview-kevin-atteberry).

... so it looks like Google decided those were relevant data sources on the topic and therefore this image was canonically representative.

FUN FACT:
if you build electronic devices which contain a raspberry pi in them, consider what will happen if one of them gets thrown out.
someone might open them up, stick the microSD card in them into a reader, and open up that tantalizing "apps.json" file which has YOUR GOD DAMN AWS KEYS? IN UNENCRYPTED PLAIN TEXT?

@foone But SD cards are that form factor specifically so you can smash them to powder so easily!
