Am I turning into a cranky old man or is this some creepy ass shit?

@benroyce They should have fought in the octagon.

@mmalc @benroyce No, the robot is the one on the right.
Push a button and you can program it to say stoopid sh*t like, “I really don’t care do you?”

The figure on the left had a stroke several months ago, but with lots of patient rehab it learned to walk again. Doing pretty well I’d say.

@grammasaurus @mmalc

i remember that

@Gustodon thunderdome

[grammasaurus@mastodon.social]

@benroyce @mmalc Back in the good old days when we thought we were close to hitting rock bottom.

We were so naïve

[williambob@mastodon.social]

@benroyce -your crank wasn't bought,subscirbed to,or indoctrinated. Was if? Crank on! All of what we are got us this far.. Those who think random amputions of what got us here so much folly.

@benroyce world models powering these, models of causality, are advancing rapidly enough to make them ubiquitous in a decade / security, medical, military, retail, etc / nvidia cosmos is in its infancy / lagging behind human capability and battery life is temporary / soon they will be ready to serve capital like a mf replacing labor and the like

@benroyce

Yes, Melania is definitely creepy assed shit

@babyalligator @benroyce

Why do we need to teach anyone anything when we have robots already?

[brotherpsyche@mastodon.social]

@benroyce good primer from the library

[lumiworx@mastodon.social]

@benroyce

Maybe she's just auditioning her next husband.

Seems like it has all the needed qualifications... easy to turn off, transplanted brain that doesn't do much beyond talk, can navigate down one corridor before walking in the opposite direction.

Sounds perfect!

[macacator@mastodon.social]

@benroyce makes me want to drop kick that droid and yell: "THIS IS THE DROID WE'RE LOOKING FOR! "

Then I'll break a chair across the robot's head that doesn't have hair.

[flowerpot@mas.to]

@benroyce NGL, I was holding my breath waiting for the robot to trip, start flailing, and take down Melania by hacking her at the knees.

[solitha@mastodon.social]

@benroyce Sorry, have they never been in an American classroom?

Talked to any real, live teachers?

Wouldn't be five minutes before the students figure out how to sabotage it.

Although I bet any robot art "teachers" would end up with some fantastic paint jobs.

@lumiworx

[htpcnz@mastodon.social]

@benroyce guess South Park will show us what she does with that thing behind closed doors...

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@solitha

they're going to spend more on repairs and security with robot teachers, rather than just fucking hiring human teachers

[ecclesias@toot.community]

@benroyce
As a retired educator, it is an insane idea. But then Melania is robotic, too, and probably prefers their company. It has the smell of Peter Thiel all over it imo.
