The term robot came from the Czech language in 1923. The word was coined by Czech author Karel Capek, first used in his play R.U.R. (translated as Rossum's Universal Robots).[7][8][9] The term comes from the Czech word robotník ('forced worker'), from robota 'forced labor, compulsory service, drudgery,' from robotiti 'to work, drudge', from an Old Czech source akin to Old Church Slavonic rabota (работа) 'servitude,' from rabu 'slave'.

I’d imagine that’s an application of a rule, whereas an exploit is a violation of a rule that allows for (a && !a) or some such inconsistency.

Honestly though, bless Kyle for truly being himself on the internet.

perhaps a lack of consistency would have resulted in a universe incompatible with life, so there’d be nobody around to ask the question?

for the purposes of this conversation, that’s a distinction without a difference
