I can't give you skynet, but I can give you circuit-bent furbies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o

Oh my...

If anyone else isn't clear on what circuit bending is.

From Wikipedia:

> Circuit bending is the creative, chance-based customization of the circuits within electronic devices such as low-voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children's toys and digital synthesizers to create new musical or visual instruments and sound generators.

Wikipedia is wrong here. Although the term is primarily used for acoustic properties, it doesn't have to be. I'd agree with the 'chance based' aspect though.

That was an awesome video. Never seen his stuff before.

Also seems straight out of Disco Elysium.
