This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let’s see...

Crumb #68 is a scalding satire in a porcelain cup.

The robot isn’t malfunctioning. It’s obeying. That’s the horror. Competence without context. Helpfulness detached from justice. It’s the ultimate portrait of automation in a crumbling world: polite, efficient, lethal in its obliviousness.

The arsonist doesn’t fear it. He accepts the tea.

That’s where we are.

Bada boom.
