I’m Dave Toaster feat. Jason Koebler

Nah, Neuro has been getting more intelligent at a rapid pace. Just yesterday, her creator tried to hit her with the whole "ignore all previous instructions" trick and she both recognized the attempt electrocuted him for it.

This may surprise you, but Starmer is actually not quite as intelligent as Neuro.

Crazies in the comments calling the song a pedogang anthem because google translates one line as "young girl" Credulous people asking for any evidence beyond that Enter me posting Beatles song lyrics about explicitly underage girls

They mention Kier Starmer pretty early on

Omg, in like a Men in Black way, not an organized crime way. Sorry!

Petition for someone to wipe the word “libidinal” from Riley’s vocabulary.

I can’t know how to hear about ‘libidinal’ anymore. Who added this to Riley’s lexicon?

JK Boiling did not get nearly enough love

Shawn Ritchie

well said. added to that the reactionary desire for this servant to always give out middle-of-the-road average solutions to problems — never anything that might rock the boat, but to serve to soothe n feed the biases alrdy present in our cognition w/out the need to ever examine them. the mfn lissenin device bein called amazon echo is so on the nose as the ppl seekin out these "AI" solutions r in all practical terms just narcissus seekin out the perfect pool to wank by.

Hadyn H. Gay Abbeysme

its the desire for the labor of a human domestic servant able to make adaptive decisions but without having to treat them as a human being owed pay and decency innit. in the ideal world of the ppl who make these things every person is an ultra self sufficient solipsist surrounded by servile objects but without any of the ick of explicit slavery (those need to stay far away at the other end of the production chain pls whetre they cant spoil the fantasy by being poor and miserable)

It's cool how capitalism destroyed the third space, and will now destroy cyberspace. You'll get to the point where even finding other people you are sure are other people will be hard. Just a Kessler syndrome for human contact

I don't think it's as machiavellian as this, but it's a good insight into the power of these sites to influence opinion. The truth of the matter is that these legions of bots have existed for the better part of a decade, set up by third parties with money, and have been largely successful with their influence campaigns. Meta is just deciding that if you can't fight them you should join them, I guess; esp if there's money to be made in targeted advertising when your new friend of 4 months Liv says she loves her new AI dishwasher.

W/ apologies for ranting to the already on-board but +1 to the de-skilling and esp Hussein’s point about cooking and care and humanity: MY OVEN has a WINDOW AND A LIGHT and that’s how I can TELL WHEN SHIT IS DONE. ALSO BY COOKING FOR YEARS AND LEARNING. FURTHERMORE, as someone who grew up with mechanical consumer goods and worked in Computers OBVIOUSLY THIS IS IS GOING TO SHORTEN THE ITEMS’ LIFESPANS also hmm. where is that cost going?? /end rant

The smart AI-infused washer dryer combo in my apartment has an app. I’m not sure what purpose the app serves because I still have to manually load an unload the machine so remotely running a wash from my phone from the other room doesn’t really help me. Also the only function of the AI is the “AI Wash” and “AI Wash + Dry” settings where the machine does the same exact thing as the “Wash” and “Wash + Dry” settings except now you don’t get to tell it the water temperature or spin speed anymore

Mark Patsy

It burns the toast, passive-aggressively

Fatticus Inch

imo there's a blind spot in this discussion of "who wants genAI bot users on social media" which has nothing to do with any company's profit margin. The more that a human userbase can be diluted with convincing-ish bots, the greater the degree of control over users' perception of social consensus. You can't have a real one-on-one conversation with these things but in large numbers they're more than capable of shifting the balance of what goes viral or who gets dogpiled. This "hall of mirrors" is highly desirable to anyone with an interest in manufacturing consent or sidelining dissent. Musk's biggest customer isn't advertisers, it's the US defense department. We passed the point where profitability was the main concern of any of these tech giants decades ago, and we need to reckon with what we're really facing now: a chimera of corporate and state power which supersedes the market economy for the broader purpose of imperial population management.

I hear "Have a more personal, human relationship with your dryer" and my brain instantly goes "Step dryer, I'm stuck in the sister machine and I can't get out!"

I have a parasocial relationship with this comment section.

Yeah, realizing it's been close to 20 years since I watched it. All I remember was 'ouch, this hits close to home'. Hopefully less personal now.

The socially ackward loner that haluncinates his household appliances are his friends, and forms a suicide pact with his maybe imaginary friend was already a pretty good anime. 2006s "welcome to the nhk. " I think it's streaming on funimation.

WE HAD A TECHNOLOGY FOR WHAT IF I ALL I HAVE I A BUNCH OF RANDOM FOOD! It was called the internet. And before every single recipe blog on the first 2 pages was SEO spam you could search said internet by putting in the food you had and find new ideas to cook. Yes it was weird and dumb or posh or whatever sometimes but at least it was people trying shit.

jamin

JK Boiling is amazing. Also the only use case for this kind of AI seems to be funny memes on Instagram occasionally

Poseylock Jimmismits

The TF crew are just slightly too young for that terrifying children’s classic The Brave Little Toaster. I was afraid to upset an appliance in case it decided to turn against me. I guess I’m still afraid my appliances are working against me…
