hello and welcome back to the sea based
channel here at lrc3 tonight we have
some extraterrestrial guests in the
studio uh in fact they just landed with
their rockets please welcome the coffee
balls hello coffee bots
so the coffee bots are screwy the
drummer
[Music]
dr spirallo band leader and junkyard
veteran mechanic
senior machinata ex-barista and
guitarist
and floto you're just a nerd and fanboy
so dr spirallo
as a junkyard veteran mechanic and and
band leader of the cohorts uh you can
probably tell this um
are you all made from coffee machines
right
what the hell are you playing we are
made from the finest trash
uh uh okay uh uh so uh screwy uh you are
the drummer in the band i understand you
started uh uh with music videos in the
early 2020s
that's right yeah with the pandemic you
know you couldn't go out of your little
little hole and so i started to play
with with puppets and then i recorded
them and my little videos out of it and
everybody thought it was funny so yeah i
continued and just recently you've
switched to like live theater right that
is correct i was happy that we finally
have some audience again and and so we
started writing a theater play based on
a diary i used to make a few years ago
you know as a remembrance work and then
i found some some guys that actually
recorded that with me so
yeah
and now we did the whole thing on video
because this [ __ ] pandemic hit again
yeah so flotto you are a nerd and fanboy
of the band
and you also wrote part of the play um
what was the inspiration for the topic
of algorithmic capitalism
the inspiration is all around us
especially in times like these in a
pandemic
when
middle class bots hide at home and let
working class bots deliver things to
them
that was basically it it's all
this kind of capitalism that is based on
an app
uh so senora makinata uh
what you're you're an ex barista and
you're also a guitarist of the band um
how exactly does playing the guitar work
if you don't have any hands
uh um
i don't feel i don't feel comfortable at
all sharing that information with them
with a human
it's it's just private
sorry
okay so we will see part one of the play
right after this uh screwy where can
people find more about uh more uh find
out more about you
well you know this this internet just
use the search search engine of of the
least mistrust and and type in coffee
bots or go directly to to e-punk d e and
and there's some history of ours and and
some making off and some old stuff and
yeah you'll find that you'll find that
at the end of the video as well i'm i'm
sure you're clever enough to research
and uh

[Music]
faster than the speed
[Music]
[Applause]
to the nearest
[Music]
maybe
[Music]
is
[Music]
the ship is still
[Music]
thank you very much it feels so good to
finally play in front of a live audience
after all these months we all downloaded
the antivirus software and we can hack
and party and dance together again
enjoy your evening here in the junkyard
and see you at the bar for a nice cup of
espresso
ah
that was great
finally a drummer
just what our band was missing
so much more fun than doing the acoustic
sessions online
great to be on stage again guys this is
just what i needed
oh become a regular member then hang out
with us here at the junkyard
good i wish but i got this job
actually these jobs something to bring
home the battery power at night
work
thing is it is never enough you know i'm
a delivery board i'm a writer
oh
epis geek economy
right and half the time i don't even
know what i'm doing i mean i do deliver
my packages and it's all
important and time critical but i have
no idea what's actually in there
time critical delivery because somebody
forgot to get some milk
basically yeah
nice thing is though i got my open
street mat navigation implant so that's
cool
mmm cool
never get lost again
but
isn't it lovely to be a little lost
sometimes
yeah you're probably right
my main problem is i only get my shifts
like a day in advance so no [ __ ] way
to to like plan the week
and then i get different contracts from
different
companies and it's all subcontractors of
subcontractors
of the firm in the end and while doing
that i'm still self-employed
does anyone really know what the firm is
i mean i never found out before i quit
no idea has anyone ever seen the
management
no
i just get my gigs
and every few weeks i get a get a report
of the increase and shareholder value
so there must be
someone somewhere who actually cares
just do it like us we have these solar
panels
up there
we charge by day
and party by night
no more work for the farm
yeah
i'm not sure if i'm ready to go full
solar punk style yet but
if you let the app dictate your life
you'll never get out of the red race
no time for punk rock
[Music]
i say we need a drink
yeah three cups and spike it up cheney
my pleasure
so what can i do for y'all a nice robust
robusta or maybe a
arabic
ah doesn't matter we try not to think in
these binary terms anymore ah yeah i
keep forgetting that
oh hello
oh hi floto
nice to see you after all this time
it was so great
i just love your style and the new song
i mostly come to the junkyard for the
drinks
but it's great to hear you play live
finally on stage again
true
it was so good tonight y'all
ah you were double roasted and i tell
you you screwy
you got talent what is that an analog
modular drum machine implant in there i
mean
well i'm just a simple coffee bar
a sense of rhythm
and i wish i had more time to practice
though
yeah
i get it
it's this daily grind right
well at least i got that job thing
behind me now oh you're retired
yeah you can kind of say that
they phased me out of my job said i
didn't meet the
minimum requirements anymore
whatever that means
well
now you live with us here at the
junkyard home of the outcasts
you grew a strong coffee anyways
almost like you were always meant to be
a barista
say
what was your former job anyways
chaining
well i think i i told you guys
that one time
i used to work in the
security sector
you were homo cop i am so shocked about
that revelation
this is not cool
bots come here to chill out
and not to hang out with ex robocops
yeah i know i mean chill out y'all
sure
used to be the times that i flew a
helicopter
targeted surveillance
predictive policing invasive chips well
you name it some scary [ __ ]
but now
well since years
the chip
that blocked my ethics it broke
i can feel
real emotions now
wow real programmed emotions
and they knew that
and that's why they retired me
i have to say it's the best day of this
bot's life though
thank you
ah
[ __ ]
another delivery to make sorry guys
gotta go
ah come on
stop it ignore the app
but
my job
the farm to share all the value who are
these shareholders anyway and what do
they do with all the value
no idea
but i've heard a rumor that not even
robots
on the street they say
they're human
but
humans are a story we tell microbots to
scare them
that's really strange with no idea
who's the management to our bosses or
who are our customers no idea
well actually
i know a bit more about them
come closer
i'll tell you
the reason why i ended up here on the
junkyard
is because
i got in trouble with the authorities
bloody robocops
they are basically the mortal enemy of
us delivery bots
no offense
not taken
just tell us what happened
you could say
that i knew too much
i got access
to the mainframe computer's database
and that's
where i saw it
the
organic red
the thing is
when you know such a secret
what do you do with that information
do you
keep it to yourself
or do you publish it
for the sake of all robot kinds
oh you sell the information to the
highest bidder and never have to work
again
of course you publish it for the
community to download for everybody
of course i wanted to publish it
goes without say
all my moral circuits are intact after
all
i wanted to be
the great
robot whistleblower
[Music]
so what went wrong
i couldn't do it
i was given an
and the a
as part of my work
and i had clicked on
accept no
my programming would let me publish it
and then
the robocops came
long story short
i ended up here
but
but that information
is it still on your hard drive
part of it is
mostly encrypted
i can access only some of it
but
i can tell you the location
of the boss planet
i know for a fact that the executive
level of the firm
is located
on a small two moon planet in a
gentrified galaxy
not very far away
it's called
organic ramp
prime
so
that's where we find the management
that is the boss planet
then we have to go there
strike direct action hit the belly of
the beast barista barista and
yeah and while we are there
we can ask for better working conditions
ugh work
work sucks
i wish i wouldn't have to work for the
firm anymore at all
i do my living
with clickwork
leaving
fake reviews at restaurant websites
liking social media posts
all that it's killing my mind
at least most of it can be automated
away with a small shell script
so i do have time
but my goal is some different kind of
work all together
i want to do something meaningful
i want to be
a hacker
you're such a nut
yeah
it sounds like a great idea
but
how do you plan on getting there
do you have a spaceship
well
this is the junkyard
we can't just build a spaceship
it's not rocket science
hmm
but do we have a pilot
oh um no
well
shaney knows how to fly a ship
that's true
okay y'all
i'm in let's do it
[Applause]
oh
this'll be an all-nighter come on i brew
up a cup of mocha for us i got some
really nice beans that fell off a truck
from the transport watch across the
street
we always fix the engine with spare
parts from the yard
ah
your old connection
i wish
back in the good old days we always got
the finest plants from sustainable fair
trade cooperatives
now it's hard to get anything that the
boring mainstream plan brands
so what happened
san mato happened
they won the patent pros and so they
dragged every small farmer board to
court
and when the farmers went broke
sonmanto bought their land
and then instead
of planting the good old beans
they planted their chem fertilized stuff
and that's
when my trade was suddenly illegal too
so
you had them right
yeah for a while i just laser cut the
logo onto my original beans
ah we really got high on the fumes that
smells so
good
i guess
i'm still on the beans and i will be for
life
well i guess there's nothing wrong with
a little caffeine habit
back in the good old days
we traded between the junkyard and to
make us bases of the area
i picked my first solar panels up back
then
i learned a lot of engineering too
got a lot of know how to how to fix
everything from a cooker to a rocket
and back then
i
got the power
you got the power
we all got the power
every minute every hour
we just have to find it
in our hearts
and release it and use it
well it's basically just a sub menu but
you can't just click on it because
the firm doesn't want us to know it's
hidden somewhere in the file system
subroutines of our operating system
that sounds scary
no
it's totally natural
well
mechanical
procedural
oh
so logical
how do you think we do things without
arms or a body
ever thought of that
oh bot you're right that is strange well
i'm just a stupid metal head and
i wish i had a heart
the force and the craft
are fairy tales
the power it is real
basically you go to preferences show in
files and then there is root usr super
secret and there you find a mini file
that you edit with your favorite
javascript from power equals zero to
power equals one save and reboot
takes a little while to get used to it
though
god you're my heroes already
and with that power
our little independently run business
went off planet two
now let's start building our spaceship
watch and learn
[Applause]
[Music]
so you went into space
wow
is this where the cops got you
no
this is when i went underground joined
the revolution and fought the good fight
but then
several years later
that's when the cops got me caught me a
smuggler
put me into a labor camp on an asteroid
mining colony and forced me to fix that
gear
so
come to think of it
yeah
i've helped you build your spaceship but
i can't handle zero gravity anymore
i'm not going to leave this planet
ever again
too old for this [ __ ]
but to you
young ones butts feet
[Music]
