    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

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

    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 and at least two other people once called robots “tin cans” on social media. Can mashable turn that into a “news story”, too?

    I don’t often use the word “cringe”, but IMO this warrants it. This silliness is going to discredit attempts at serious conversation.

    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

    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.
