      Counting the days till conservatives start flying Knights Templar uniforms.

    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.

    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

      Toasters is, and always has been a better insult.

      It needs to be plugged in, temperature set, then a button to turn bread into toast.

      Basically calling a machine simple, single purposed, restrained, and relatively unconfigurable.

        It’s also a device that is demonstrably better without AI. So you’re essentially saying that they would be better as script driven assembly arms.

          Idk man.

          The AI could like take a voice recording, break it down, say sure thing! This is how you make a toasted turkey sandwich!

          Then refuse to toast your bread until it knows you put turkey, lettuce,tomato and mayo on the bread

    If we end up with Star wars robots that would be quite fun actually. They’re basically more comedic than they are dangerous.

      The KX units would probably disagree. Love the design of them, like a robotic overweight Mafioso.

    Slur requires a group of disparaged people to whom the slur is targeted. Beep-boops with no intelligence ain’t fucking people.

    Pure propaganda. “Make the people who don’t believe in AI Genies sound like bigots, say they have slurs.”

    You can tell when boomer americans try to make up something “the internet is doing” because it always sounds like some 1900s huckster shit they saw on TV between paint chip snacks

      I have seen absolutely nobody refer to the chatbots as “clanker”. Notice how this so called ‘criticism’ of the AI future still accepts as true the same premise the AI fanatics are pushing, they just hold a flashlight under their chin and go, “and it’s evil!!!”

      I don’t think statistical word generator is as useful as all the investor types seem to think it is, and they’re gearing us up for an unthinkably massive market correction in the near future. That’s a real criticism of AI.

    Well, all right. But I don’t want anyone to think we’re robosexual or anything, so if anyone asks, you’re my debugger.
