    i absolutely love the fact that the mic is the speaker in the original design. it's just this hella 80's/basic transducer vibe that really gets me in the feelings.

      Interesting to note, if you like them, groove armadas first big track used this quirk to improvise a microphone that was missing from their recording studio. the brass instrument you hear in 'at the river' is recorded from that

      It was designed like that already, I think it was true power of AI, but eventually got censored.
      We are going backwards.

What about getting a "Teddy Ruxpin" bear toy from the 80's and putting your AI code/bits into it, but work out how the "cassette" driven signal commands fed the toy and made it move (as well as the audio)... so you can ask Teddy questions and the answers come back but with controlled movement as well... 😲 🤣

    I thought of something similar, using a recreation of the original Star Trek ship communicator panel (not the hand held one) instead of your intercom, and wiring it up to an Amazon Alexa.
    The Alexa can be setup to respond to the name 'Computer', as per Star Trek, and with it being driven via the talk button on the communicator panel, it won't be listening 24/7 and handing out the odd crazy response to some picked up audio it assumed was directed to it.
