Today we're introducing a new section, entitled Bots Done Right. We'd like to highlight the positive contribution that some robots have on society. Sure, they are something of a rarity, but we feel like it's important to point the direction in which robot development should be heading.A great example of bots done right is Daft Punk. Providing us, their human masters, with endless entertainment is what they do, and they indeed excel at their work. They don't even try to engage in any human behavior whatsoever. Creating bots as successful at Daft Punk benefits entrepreneurial humans as well, by making them ridiculous wealthy. We genuinely thank Virgin Records for constructing Daft Punk. Building robots can be very dangerous, but they found a winning formula. Keep up the good work!

To be totally fair, though, Daft Punk weren't "created" as much as they were transmogrified, so I don't know what that says about the state of robot-ism in our world today -- that the most fruitful, non-evil robots were not created by man, but instead produced via accident in a music laboratory.
Says the former human Thomas Bangalter: "We did not choose to become robots. There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 a.m. on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots."
