it's like that heartless robot from wizard of oz looking for heart..

Yeah great point! Vegapunk was the wizard of Oz too. I wanted to link Oz to Oars too lol. We even had a cowardly lion in apoo and a strawman/scarecrow in Hawkins with Kidd as the tinman who needs more heart lol. Hawkins probably could do with more "brains" too haha.
I do wonder how much wizard of oz has inspired Oda, I always felt Nami will be inspired by Dorothy but some people thought it might be Bonney too.

The age of robots is here. Bipedal robots powered by AI, interacting with the world in sophisticated ways, with a body much stronger and tougher than the human body.
No need for a beating heart because they don't need oxygen and nutrients, and their few vital parts constituting the essential hardware being well-protected.
We will look like puny lifeforms and ironically our heart is one of our greatest weaknesses.

Yeah absolutely true man, depending on how things go I'm extremely excited for that but at the same time cautiously terrified potentially too. But I've always wanted a cyborg body, well full robot too so I don't have to worry about pain, asthma, breaking bones, blindness/deafness and so on. Well the "organic equivalents" but as long as I can't feel pain or have to worry about getting ill or asthma etc, I'd love to

be a robot and robots are pretty damn awesome anyway ofc lol. I once wanted to study robotics a long time ago but I didn't think I was anywhere near intelligent enough to do so and I doubt I still am now.
Well said, its a truly Frankenstein's Monster type situation, we are playing God and doing our own version of Prometheus with fire to humans too. Engineering our own replacements and potential extinctions too.

But at the same time, humanity cannot and should never live forever too ofc. But if we become cyborgs or robots replace us, maybe with our minds/consciousnesses in them at least, we could technically live forever that way ironically lol.
Nothing has been able to wipe out the human race and yet ironically, we might just do that to ourselves with robots and AI, hence the Terminator films and such ofc.

same time I'm extremely excited to see technology advance further and some of the stuff I idolised and saw as a child become reality gradually, if I live long enough to see most of it or even all somehow. Some of it already is reality too but I hope I can live to some more outlandish, extreme things too. I use to awe at the incredible creativity in stuff like Futurama and Jetson.
If nothing else, I'd like to see

how the human race can evolve beyond what we are now. Mutations? Gaining "powers" somehow? Cyborgs to robots and AI?
Given how we started out as mere molecules, what could we be in a few centuries or especially eons time if given enough time to "live long and prosper" enough for it? I've not even mentioned aliens yet too lol.
We're truly in the age of robots and AI and I've never been so terrified and yet excited.

Amazingly written! I love robots because I love the fact that they can surpass our human limitations! I'm afraid of our human limits like the ones you mentioned (getting sick or aging) but also afraid of our intrinsic human body fragility.
I have hopes that genetic engineering will eventually solve the aging problem but in the meantime it will be possible to use AI to feed it with our thoughts and personalities

and our face data so that we are not forgotten if we die too soon.
Perhaps one day human consciousness will be replicable in computer chips if the right hardware and software combo supporting that is discovered.

Rebel heart and mecha heart, oh man I love that. Its too perfect lol.
