AI powered microwave.

I've been meaning to research how that popcorn button works. I mean is it just a fixed time chosen for standard size bags (but they're different sizes)? Or is it listening to the pops (there's a mic in my microwave)? Or is it some extremely clever microwave feedback trick (???)?
@TerryHancock @futurebird once upon a time they had a steam sensor that would stop when it reached the correct amount of steam in the box to indicated popcorn is ready. Mostly they're timers now.

You can't have any popcorn until you enter the wifi password and download the new firmware.
This is the definition of HELL.

An AI software-powered microwave? You need a new microwave.

"You're absolutely right, turning on the magnetron with the door open was very dangerous and irresponsible. I have updated my instruction set to say 'never ever turn on the magnetron with the door open no matter what' rather than just 'never turn on the magnetron with the door open'"

@futurebird @troublewithwords was Magnetron an autobot or a decepticon? I get them mixed up.

@troublewithwords @futurebird when pop corn is redefined as carbonated corn oil, then you'll know AI has won.

AI powered microwave. Everyone must be laughing at this. This is such a joke.
People don't even use the damn popcorn button and that ... kind of works.
@futurebird you can pry my microwave's "potato" button from my now-cold-but-formerly-burned-by-hot-potato, dead fingers

Someday I will dare to press the potato button. -

@futurebird if the AI can't melt butter without putting half of it on the ceiling, there's no real innovation

In that case, I’ll wait until I’m hungrier. -
Honestly the only button needed on the microwave is the 30 second button.
My microwave has no buttons, only two spinny things - power and time. That's enough.

That's how it should be.

My mom has a 40 year old microwave that's still great.
I do not own one. They are kind of a waste of space in a small apartment and I am a stove and toaster oven enjoyer.

What is it with the microwave popcorn producers always telling you to "For the love of God, do not use the popcorn button!"
Every package says to not use it. What's up with that?

@futurebird
I want an AI-powered microwave that runs a 15 second self-cleaning operation to interfere with the 2.4MHz band, every time it detects someone connecting a legacy 802.11n device or router next door that invades the air space here... -

@futurebird And then the microwave manufacturer starts sending you emails every day.
"We see you enjoyed our AI-enhanced popcorn experience. Why not try our AI-enhanced refrigerated beverage experience?"
"We see you enjoyed AI-enabled refrigerated beverages and popcorn. You might be interested in our AI-boosted digital scale."
And then emails to everyone in contacts, "[A] enjoyed our AI-enhanced popcorn experience. Here's a discount to join [A] next movie night."
Ugh.

They just want to know what you eat and when so they can somehow raise the price on it all. Ghouls.

@futurebird Or get you to buy more of whatever vertical market they're pushing.
"We see you enjoyed popcorn during [streamed movie]. Here are the other movies popular in your area with AI-enhanced popcorn eaters."
"We see you enjoyed five popcorn-worthy movies this month. Perhaps you'd like to upgrade to our AI-enabled automatic popcorn popper microwave, synced to your movie streaming."
