    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

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

    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.

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

    Elon Musk’s Optimus robot has been coming to work in factories “by the end of the year” for over five years now.

    It’s just another unsubstantiated promise he reuses every year just like the long promised full autonomy of his self-driving cars.
