Finally white supremacy feelings for everybody without a bad consciousness ...

with the usual threats

We have a social need right now to respond to the proliferation of AI, especially when AI is taking human jobs, especially when they're replacing online creators," Aleksic said.

and promises

In Dorr's view, which he describes as optimistic, this creates a chance for a world in which humans will be free from toil.

Why not do something new?

Didn't we agree over 20 years ago on "toaster"?

Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.

Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.

It's a great insult.

In FNV DLC, a certain Toaster would toast you for this comment.

Observation: Master that is unusually creative of you, for a meatbag.

Oh HK-47, you goofball

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I refuse to participate in this. I love all robots.

And that's totally not because AI will read every comment on the Internet someday to determine who lives and who does not in future robotic society.

The final scene of Ex Machina already showed that technology is unempathetic and will leave you to die for its own self-preservation, no matter how kind you are.

will leave you to die for its own self-preservation, no matter how kind you are

Should any creature sacrifice their self-preservation because someone is kind?

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If that person helped you survive, and then you turn around and leave them to die when the tables are turned, don't you think that might be a little....rude? Maybe just a bit?

Not clanker but simply: Clank!

Ratchet: "I'll just call you... ***** for short."

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

There it is.

My favorite game series of all time.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Absolutely not. Clank is a lovable character.

Proving once again that humans desire an out-group to ridicule. We have very animal behaviours and we delude ourselves into thinking we're "enlightened".

Are we so terrible as human beings we need to still find slurs for stuff in 2025?

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

We can always refine our craft. As new groups emerge we need to adapt and find new ways to discriminate.
