I don’t know how this didn’t make local news; I live right next door to Ann Arbor and it’s the first time I’m hearing of it.

Thank you, Mattel!

Do we want a real-life horror movie? Because this is how you get a real-life horror movie.

It’s too expensive to apply to the surrogate/sex doll industry right now.  Just wait until the cost drops. 

So why the hell would any of these musicians allow AI to make clones of their voices? Nothing like cutting your own throat for a few dollars, I guess.

Question: do we get to pick which cities they run rampant in?  And by “we” I mean “me”. 

Beat me to this.

Beat me to this comment.  I’ve been trying for the last week or so, but nada.

Spaceballs: DA SEQUEL!!!!!

Balls are always funny. Unless they’re your friend’s and they’re being placed on your forehead when you’re asleep, in which case everyone else might find them funny, but otherwise: always funny.

I love the reich-wing panic talking point of “It could happen to you, too!!!!!!!”

And I think they also implicitly believe that for-profit corporations wouldn’t have a problem paying people, with all the related costs (health insurance, retirement accounts, payroll taxes, etc.), instead of just axing human capital to have AI do the jobs instead for pennies on the dollar in comparison.

And I’m sure every business in the world would love to pay actual people to have AI do stuff for them rather than just replace people with AI.

And that poster......that’s horrific enough on its own. 

They’re not the ones I worry about, I’m worried about the people who think Biden hasn’t delivered utopia by undoing everything Trump and his ilk got us into, and are considering voting a wannabe dictator back into office as a result. 

But they still keep voting for him, because bigotry.

Unless he sees the inside of a cell for a significant period of time, nothing will change.

Something something party of small government, blah blah blah free market, yak yak yak freedumb. 

It’s like saying Candyman 3x in a mirror.  I don’t believe anything will happen if I do, but I’m not going to tempt fate.  You go ahead and do it, I’ll stand back and see what happens. 

And for experiencing the same things once already and thinking “eh, what are the odds that I’ll encounter a train again in rural Ohio.....”
