+This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3694 for Thursday the 29th of September 2022.
+Today's show is entitled, Robo Tripping Rave Lords of the Apocalypse.
+It is hosted by mechaternia and is about 10 minutes long.
+It carries a clean flag.
+The summary is, organic synthesis of human and machine occurs post-cosmic event.
+Strange machine appeared one day scratching, clawing, cutting and picking through the wastelands
+on the outskirts of town.
+It was built on an old Tesla frame with all the other car parts removed.
+Irregular and blocky it was bristling with spider-recipindages bearing various sensors, cameras
+and manipulators.
+There were familiar looking aspects to the assemblage of ABS and steel.
+A Sony logo on a chassis component, a former desk lamp, now a servo-driven electro-magnet
+equipped manipulator arm.
+Through gaps in the steel and ABS frame and cladding could be seen complex interactivity,
+producing a worrying, clicking and humming machine din.
+The blocks had conveyor belts between them that would occasionally move apart assembly
+or circuit board from one box to another.
+Sheltering in an abandoned tire garage, this mother-bought was surrounded by smaller steel
+and black ABS private machines, a various mobile wheeled and loaded forms.
+All engaged in various activities like gathering, then disassembling, old stereos, printers
+and computers, were others hacked at derelict electric tires.
+Most of them function well, but there were a few that looked damaged or crippled, one
+patheticly dragging itself in aimless circles.
+There were screens and laptops affixed randomly to the outside of the hall, looking like the
+International Space Station turned inside out.
+It was topped with mismatched solar collectors from which snacking wires extended back to
+its body.
+A few smaller bots also had their own solar arrays mounted to their chassis.
+On the mother, there were other A&Kong US elements, like a sound system complete with
+arrays of myths, matched speakers and subwoofer.
+Some disassembled using screwdriver drill bits, some with saws and torches, while others
+scan circuit boards with cameras, identifying then applying heat via a modified soldering
+iron or propane torch to remove the components.
+Piles of sorted electronic parts littered concrete, navigated by bots searching out and fetching
+specific components and taking them to the assembly stations which fed the mother-bought.
+Those not engaged in diligent mining and building activities were coupled to one of three
+battery stations that held their own solar collectors and large batteries of both lead
+acid and lithium iron.
+When the townies approached the smaller explorer units, they emitted alarm tones or blinked
+very bright flashing LED lights while fleeing back to the protection of the mother-bought.
+Many people had reverted to simpler pastoral lives, farming and gathering after the cosmic
+event wiped out the world's economy and internet systems, food crops and other plants grew
+very productively and easily since that roving chunk of neutron star buzzed the solar system
+and ended technological society.
+The world was verdant, robustly and giantly so after the cold and dark of the months
+of Pompeii.
+People weren't that interested in technology anymore, though some held on to things like
+generators that still worked.
+Few were knowledgeable in how to repair relics of the pre-CE civilization, but a few wondered
+how it came to be who built it and programmed it.
+Such a self-organized entity couldn't just spontaneously rise out of internet electronics
+refuse credit.
+When the mother was approached too closely, its attendance assumed defensive pastures while
+circular saws were cutting claws, clack and nozzles with pilot lights pointed menacingly.
+Thousands of RGB LEDs covering the surface displayed frenetic color patterns that were
+both blinding, disorienting and nauseating, although the latter may have also been an
+effect of the subsomics coming from the subwoofers.
+A synthetic voice blurted alert alarm warning and other messages may have been identified
+as belonging to the Arduino Talking Library with ears to hear the flatly enunciate
+words blasted through panasonic ghetto blaster speakers mounted high on the chassis.
+And people decided it was best to leave it in peace as the mother mockingly blasted
+the ACEDC Psalm who made who alternating with we are the robots from craft work.
+A group of young people found that if they stood at just the right distance, they could
+enjoy the effects of the mesmerizing patterns without being in danger of being maimed.
+They called it Robo Trippin and it gave them euphoria and visions.
+The Knights consisted of parting and dancing while the thought mother played from a large
+collection of misentropic musical classics.
+One day after the previous Knights party stopped amid power load messages, they felt obliged
+to bring the bots all the solar cradles, generators, stereos and other interference they
+could stand up.
+The bots seemed less apprehensive and allowed the humans to come closer.
+The spectacle grew larger each night, the songs were a starting point.
+As the block breed poly rhythmic beats, binarle, trinarle, etc.
+Combined with the prismatic visual effects from LEDs, time distorted, chunking up oral
+visual patterns, converging resonances, comprised of corresponding brain frequencies, warped
+subjective reality, complex harmonics of frequencies, formerly algorithms, logic diagrams,
+and circuit schematics for flash on the screens, visions shattered into a million pieces
+you sinking, recombining many times a second.
+They had dark circles under their eyes during the day, but the psychedelic splendors of
+the Knights were with it.
+They were the disciples of a rhythm, suffocates to the beat symbiottes of sound.
+They seemed discovered that they now understood something called Boolean algebra and could
+read the wealth of digital, logic diagrams and schematics in the mother's database.
+No other townies they knew had any inclination of this knowledge, it seemed to have been forgotten
+or only known by a small minority, yet it was so fascinating and useful.
+The mother had been teaching them via the screens amid the din and ecstasy of dance, and
+they now started taking active roles, picking up soldering irons and screwdrivers.
+It's something called a refractory and filling gaps in the robots' skills.
+The purple robot was made whole and the overall aesthetic and function of the robots was somewhat
+improved by the human eye.
+A month later, another mother machine appeared with its own attendance.
+The next month were her mother's.
+The month after that, eight, as non-robotripping townies grew increasingly concerned.
