Subject: Robotic Discussion On the Newsgroup lately, there's been a long thread about FST and robots. Robot's Rules of Order is, of course, a fairly simple-minded pun. More important than FST's many RUR references is the fact that Bozos is based on the Eliza Program, itself a kind of robot or AI device. This early, elementary program is hugely interesting even today. A Turing Machine, I suppose, would seek out the Eliza Program for therapy.
