Every time I pull the string on the back of this doll it says something nice to me. Is this true love?
Reach for the sky, Partner!!!
Hate to break it to you but that aint the back of the doll and it isn’t a string you are pulling either.
But the affection is genuine.
There was a guy who married his DS (yes, a Nintendo DS) so I could see this happening. marrying something that isn’t even alive is just weird
One joke
That ship’s already passed, women have been loving on hand-held robots for decades now. I would bet that some women love their buzzy little friend more than the man in their lives.
Slur requires a group of disparaged people to whom the slur is targeted. Beep-boops with no intelligence ain’t fucking people.
Well, all right. But I don’t want anyone to think we’re robosexual or anything, so if anyone asks, you’re my debugger.
Oh my god they were debuggers!
He calls me clanka, he calls the other kids clanka, he calls himself clanka. All the time. “Clanka this”, “Clanka that”, “Clanka, please”, “Bitch clanka”, “Clanka, have you lost your mind?”, “Clanka, check that ho”, “Clanka, you bullshit” and “Break yourself, clanka”. He says it so much, I don’t even notice it anymore. Last week in lunch, Optimus said to a classmate, “Can a clanka borrow a french fry?” And my first thought wasn’t “Oh, my God. He said the word, uh, the C-word”. It was now “How is a clanka gonna borrow a fry?” “Clanka, is you gonna give it back?” I’m telling you, my inside voice didn’t talk like that before he got in my class.
I’ve been using it differently than the article suggests I guess. So far I’ve only called people who blatantly use LLM instead of their own words on debate forums “clankers.”
I hate that we call social media debate platforms.
CEOs found a way to divide us with the internet. I hate what it became
The term “social media” is already toxic. When I started using the Internet, socialising and media were two separate things. Conflating the two implies that every time we say something, we are publishing an article and should care about how many views and likes we get, instead of making a genuine attempt at connection. And it suggests that every reply should be some kind of review of the post it replies to.
In the days of forums, people would just post what came into mind. They were more honest because there was no number next to your comment rating how good it was.
By nature and definition, social media is any platform that without users there would be no content. Vbulletin forums et al actually fall into that scope.
And gods do I miss them. Used to have a website i’d go for every niche discussion, and if there were points in the forum it was usually for gimmicky flash games or something and not for clout
I think a major criteria should be gamifying of content with likes, follows, etc. as the person above was getting at.
I mean specific forums for debate and not the general social web, but you probably just wanted to vent and that’s fair.
Bless you for clarifying, my brain hopped right to you meaning Twitter for some reason. You can tell how much faith I’ve got these days lol
Well thinking about it, your assumption is probably the norm nowadays. I’m the weirdo still visiting places running vbulletin and shit lol.
The forums are still very good platforms for automotive content and troubleshooting. I assume there are other fields where this is true. The etiquette there was always to lurk and learn before posting. Here, not so much.
no. we call them toasters for a reason.
Frakking toasters.
We’re heading towards Deus Ex.
if robots gain personhood, it’s not the robot body that gains personhood. it’s the robot mind, aka. the computer.
imo personhood is tied to responsibility. if machines can be responsible, they can be persons.
consider that a lot of organizations already have legal personhood, including corporations, non-profit foundations, and cities/states.
We need a c/okbuddyclanker
Okie dokie clanker, mesa go creates it for yoo.
I and at least two other people once called robots “tin cans” on social media. Can mashable turn that into a “news story”, too?
This DEFINITELY gunna get cꝏpted by rightshits (if it hasn’t already)
Just sincere enough to not be obvious satire , peops outright saying they’re gonna be “robophobic” (sadly don’t think they’re joking) , probably using mass AI panic to recruit peops rightward … writings on the wall
So many peops gonna be radicalised into ecofascism (if not just regular degular fascism) it’s scary . Don’t think this funny at all
I can’t believe these bigots are so casually using the c-word
Cunt?
No, the offensive c-word.
Elon Musk’s Optimus robot has been coming to work in factories “by the end of the year” for over five years now.
It’s just another unsubstantiated promise he reuses every year just like the long promised full autonomy of his self-driving cars.
I’m actually surprised he hasn’t started working on Fusion since that’s similarly always just a few years away. It has been since the 1960s.
