I'm all in. But we're asking the board to invest in something that's not gonna see a profit for three years. So bottom line is, this isn't going anywhere without Greg. - He's the chairman. - Yeah, I know who Greg is, Kurt. Now, Greg is a hard-ass when it comes to spending money. But here's the thing, he's got a kid who's about the same age as your niece. If we can show him what you just showed me and get him to respond emotionally instead of analytically, we should be off to the races. So, can we keep the girl? Can we make her part of it? She's paired with her, right? That's how this whole thing works? Yeah, the more time she spends with cady, the more effective she's gonna be. Love it. Kurt, get shelley on the phone. Gem, get me a list of things I can say in a presentation that makes it sound like I know what I'm talking about. Holy shit, this is exciting. I want you all to remember this moment. The moment we kicked hasbro right in the dick.

The new model 3 generative Android from funki is a fully autonomous humanoid robot with features never before seen in the consumer market. Here are all of aunt Gemma's collectibles, and this one is my favorite. Oh! I have more awesome toys in my room. Come on. Come on. Sculpted from a titanium core, m3gan's designed to withstand whatever life can throw at her. She comes equipped with an a17 bionic fusion chip and can be fully customized through six different silicone skin pigmentations. But the most exciting aspects about m3gan are the features still to come. Through our own unique approach to probabilistic inference, m3gan is on a constant quest for self-improvement. Whether it's diagnosing children with specific learning differences or merely reminding them of the way science is all around us... Cady, you should use a coaster. Why do I have to use a coaster? Coasters help to avoid water marks, especially on wooden surfaces. - But how does the water get outside the glass? - That's a great question, cady. It's actually caused by the difference in temperature outside the glass, which pulls moisture from the air. Crazy. It's insane, right? Studies indicate that a staggering 78% of a parent's time is spent dishing out the same basic instructions. Oh, my god. Cady, you have to flush the toilet. It is not that hard. So we found someone else to pick up the slack. Cady, flush the toilet.

Great job. It was my friend Jenny's birthday. M3gan's an excellent listener. This guy told them that the 13th floor was haunted. Right. and they accidentally... And she even has a few stories of her own. "If it was so, it might be, and if it were so, it would be, but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." "Said tweedledee." She'll never run out of ways to keep your child occupied, and she'll never run out of Patience. Cady. Seriously, flush the toilet.

And then it can end with something like, "m3gan. She's more than just a toy. She's part of the family." Looks good. You're not gonna do the voice though, right? No. Obviously, David's gonna make up his own version of it. I just want him to be aware of what it is that he's selling. Tess, your silence indicates what?

I... I Don't know. - I'm not sure. - About what? Well, why would you want m3gan to do all that stuff? They're emergent capabilities. She'll be able to do all of that and more. Okay, well, does any of that bother you? I thought we were creating a tool to help support parents, not replace them. If you're having m3gan tuck cady in and read her a bedtime story, then when are you ever spending time with her or even talking with her? I Don't really think this is any of your business.

Look, you know how hard I've been working on this presentation. As soon as it's over and the board agrees to proceed, then we can establish some kind of balance. But for now, it's important that cady and m3gan spend as much time as possible together. By the way, I Don't think it's having detrimental effects, because she's the happiest she's been since her parents died. How did cady's parents die? - Whoa. - I thought she was turned off. Yeah, m3gan, turn off. Cady James. Daughter of Nicole and Ryan James. Killed in a collision on interstate 84 outside of Oregon. Why is she doing that? Shit, she's still paired with cady. You didn't code in parental controls? I didn't have time to implement them before we went live. Hold on. M3gan, if you have data requests, you have to engage with the protocols. I Don't have a framework to speak with cady on the subject of death. Yes, I know. We're looking into it. - Gathering auxiliary Internet data on death. - I meant at a later point. Calculating its vector representation. Death is the end of life. Holy shit. The total and permanent cessation of all vital functions. Yes, but let's not make a big deal out of it. Everything dies.
