Robots in fiction were almost always just weird humans.
Real robots are not humans, but machines.
But most authors are incapable of depicting real machines in their stories. Or real animals, or real hacking, or real economic systems, or any profession that isn't their own...
Except actual robots IRL are often delightful. I will smooch a roomba, theyre cute as fuck. Its just genai thats revolting (and the abusive corporate practices and surveillance capitalism with which many technologies are implemented)
The underlying technology is still very cool, just the way it is shoved down everyones throats is not, and the way they suck up everything humans created.
To paraphrase Cory Doctrow: evaluate new technologies based not only on what they can do, but also on who they do it for, and who they do it to.
It is very useful for a whole lot of things. But it is like a hammer. A single tool with some functions, but you're going to have a bad time if you think you can fix everything with a hammer. Also not worth burning the world for.
I hope AM becomes real and tortures Zucc, Melon, Thief, and Benzos for eternity.
just wait a year or two until you can fuck them
the future is now...
Designed to produce body heat. Zhuoyide Robotics’ humanoid robot Moya, very MOYAist.
humanity is in for some weird times.
i wonder if people are still gonna be ok with surveillance capitalism when their humanoid fuck robot starts advertising dick pills to them.
Skynet seems like a fair prediction.
I remember 2001: A Space Odissey...
Hal, give me a recipe for cupcakes that doesn't involve any toxic chemicals.
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that
ok glue pizza it is then
AI is indeed fiction, at least today. But who knows what tomorrow holds?
