@cwebber
I almost want to do a Zuck character pack for clippy.js

Almost.

@cwebber Mwahahaha! It's finally happening!

The most replaceable employee — practically the only replaceable employee — at every corporation is none other than the CEO and they're just about to accidentally realize that.

@cwebber what do you mean AI version? The original wasn’t already AI?

[smashie603@mastodon.social]

@cwebber the Creeper of Harvard. People really need to delete Meta from their lives Worldwide.

#BoycottMeta

@sjb @cwebber I suspect that ship has already sailed. >_< Surely the employees are already asking it to describe making weapons in haiku form, or how to commit crimes to help our their poor grandmother.

@slembcke @cwebber AI Zuck does not need prompting, those are emergent behaviours.

@cwebber

Sooooo... how would that be different from talking with the robot, err... the Zuck?

@magmora @cwebber I mean he already lost that battle to his own wax figure. XD

@cwebber And this burns up energy, that is deparately needed to heat houses and drive engines in industry that does produce life essential stuff. Energy that builds houses to live in. That puts food on the table etc.

@cwebber
I wonder if this Zucker will have legs.

@cwebber
Oh, I just realized this could be read literally and figuratively.

"Let's put it in front of a focus group and see if this thing's got legs!"

[eurospoofer@mastodon.social]

@cwebber I thought they did this years ago. So that was a real human all along? Who knew!

[ordradical@beige.party]

@cwebber
And no one noticed a difference at all.

@bluestarultor @cwebber ... when the simulacrum is more human than you are...
