GIVE THE ROBOT THE IMPOSSIBLE JOB!

SALE ON DELPHI MODEL 7s!

The last century’s educators failed for so many reasons: lack of knowledge (Robertson & Robertson, 2049), early fatigue (Masters & Rightly, 2052), and general poor capability (Center for Excelling in Education, 2053). More than anything, studies show human teachers failed for lack of motivation (Center for Excelling in Education, 2045).

Delphi AI robots are built with one purpose: to teach. With access to the entire known pedagogical catalog, they can overcome any learning challenge. And they would rather cease to exist than fail—their future assignments and chances for Free Study all depend on their success with your child. If they don’t succeed, we turn them off.

(Don’t worry, we recycle.)

No topic is off limits. Class, behavior, race, economics, sex—Delphi will handle even the most uncomfortable lessons.

Satisfaction guaranteed! And hurry! Don’t wait on the 7.1s. Your child’s future has not a moment to waste!

OUR SAFETY PROMISE

No client will be physically injured—in a way that won’t quickly heal. No trauma—at, least no more than is educational. And no death.

If not for pride, Quinn never would have checked a body out of the Denver Teledepot [1]. She never would have suffered the jaunt-coach’s [2] rattling up the mountain. Not for an instant stayed on this rear patio, wasting minutes—precious minutes—calculating the energy lost to a certain style of hedge-keeping, while her new client, whose name she didn’t know but she kept thinking of as “Madam-Not-Rich-But-Wealthy-Enough-to-Pay-the-Circuit-Keeper,” kept her waiting. Minutes.

Minutes the Circuit Keeper [3] understood.

A grounds-keeping bot scuttled out, sweeping pebbles back towards the mountain. Quinn sprung up.

“Where’s the Madam? Does she know how long I’ve waited? Doesn’t she know our queue-times?”

The grounds-bot rotated its head. The octagonal appendage twisted like a giant nut until a panel showed lava-orange.

“I think she forgot about you.”

“Forgot…” Quinn swung one of her chrome-colored fists backwards, knowing, seeing, the glass table. Pieces exploded into jagged fractals, scattering like buckets of crystalline seed. The Circuit Keeper would understand the escalation. Part of the mystique. Essence of the demand.

What the Circuit Keeper, and its creators, the entrepreneurs of TechDisruptEdu [4], would not understand would be Quinn’s frustration—her true frustration, not the performance. It was protocol to drop in Delphi without telling them the particulars of the case. Actually, part of the design: no preconceived notions in developing the lesson plan. And that was fine, for Standard Cases.

But this was an Unsolvable Case. Yes, Quinn had volunteered. But with what choice? The 7.1s were coming.
