Back in the good old days, when all we had to worry about was which brand of instant noodles tasted least like cardboard.
Now?
Now we're talking about artificial intelligence , a phrase that sounds suspiciously like a dodgy dating app for robots.

But hey, who am I to judge? Apparently, the UAE and Malaysia , two countries that probably have more in common with each other than they'd like to admit (like, for example, a fondness for air conditioning that could freeze a polar bear), have decided to join forces in this AI thing.
Imagine it: the UAE, land of shimmering skyscrapers and oil that practically oozes out of the ground, teaming up with Malaysia, home to delicious satay and a penchant for confusing "sorry" with "yes."
A match made in… well, not exactly heaven, but definitely in some Silicon Valley boardroom.
According to the official press release, which probably sounded a lot more exciting in the original Arabic and Malay, these two powerhouses are going to "enhance national security."
Now, I don't know about you, but "enhance national security" sounds a lot like "build a giant robot that can crush any dissent with a single metallic fist."
But fear not, dear reader! It seems our new robot overlords will also be focusing on "improving customs tax collection." Ah, yes, because nothing screams "utopia" quite like a robot that can flawlessly identify counterfeit designer handbags and confiscate them with laser precision.
I can practically hear the wailing of Instagram influencers now.
And let's not forget about "operational efficiencies." Because, let's be honest, who among us hasn't dreamed of a world where bureaucracy is handled by emotionless machines?
No more waiting in endless queues at the DMV! No more dealing with those infuriatingly cheerful customer service representatives! Just cold, hard logic and the occasional existential dread.

But wait, there's more! This "memorandum of understanding" – a phrase that sounds suspiciously like something your boss would make you sign while you're half-asleep – also promises to "improve quality of life." Now, that's a bold claim.
How exactly does a robot that can predict your next shopping spree "improve quality of life"? By ensuring you never run out of your favorite brand of instant noodles, of course.
And let's not forget the economic benefits! Apparently, trade between these two nations is booming. Which, I guess, makes sense. The UAE probably needs a steady supply of affordable electronics, while Malaysia could always use a few more luxury yachts. It's a symbiotic relationship, if you ask me.
So, there you have it. The UAE and Malaysia, two countries that once dreamt of becoming the next global superpowers, are now joining forces to become the next global… robot overlords?
Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic. But you have to admit, it's a lot more exciting than just "enhancing national security."
And besides, who knows, maybe these AI-powered robots will finally solve the age-old question: is pineapple on pizza acceptable?
Now that's a challenge worthy of a true technological revolution.
