i think i went away from the whole 'robots deserve rights' thing on two main points
- what we call 'robots' is and will revolve around the most practical, least amount of automation. it's simply a sophistication of the tool
- calling anything sentient 'robot' would be an affront and declaration of war and exploitation on its own
therefore if your society has to give 'rights' to 'robots' you've already fucked everything
