Fracking toasters.

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

I've been using it differently than the article suggests I guess. So far I've only called people who blatantly use LLM instead of their own words on debate forums "clankers."

Pure propaganda. "Make the people who don't believe in AI Genies sound like bigots, say they have slurs."

You can tell when boomer americans try to make up something "the internet is doing" because it always sounds like some 1900s huckster shit they saw on TV between paint chip snacks

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

We need a c/okbuddyclanker

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.

no. we call them toasters for a reason.

I can't believe these bigots are so casually using the c-word

I don't often use the word "cringe", but IMO this warrants it. This silliness is going to discredit attempts at serious conversation.

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.

if robots gain personhood, it's not the robot body that gains personhood. it's the robot mind, aka. the computer.

imo personhood is tied to responsibility. if machines can be responsible, they can be persons.

consider that a lot of organizations already have legal personhood, including corporations, non-profit foundations, and cities/states.

Inside me there are two tech nerds. One is optimistic towards new tech and has the clanka pass. The other is kicking the dominos robot calling it a clanker

I and at least two other people once called robots "tin cans" on social media. Can mashable turn that into a "news story", too?

I guess someone just watched the movie A.I.? Fucking please lol.

Sounds like the 'clank' slur from the Deus Ex universe.

Oh. I want a droideka bodyguard.

Wait... do we have slurs against LLMs now? Fuuuuck...

If we end up with Star wars robots that would be quite fun actually. They're basically more comedic than they are dangerous.

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

We're heading towards Deus Ex.

And here I am wanting nothing more than to upload my mind.
