What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Popular Science.
Vera BullockOn October fourteenth, twenty twenty-six, Popular Science reported that an autonomous drone took first place at a major race and set a world record.
Dale BearmanMankind has been beaten at its own hobby, Vera. The machines did not start with the nuclear codes. They started with the little racing goggles.
Vera BullockIt beat three former human world champions, and that's the part I can't stop thinking about.
Vera BullockThree people who trained for years, and now they have to congratulate a drone.
Dale BearmanSurrender is the only dignified option. I suggest they hand the goggles over in a quiet ceremony.
Vera BullockOr we give each champion a ribbon that says thank you for participating.
Dale BearmanThe drone has no hands to pin it on.
