samsung have announced they're releasing a smart toaster featuring an onboard AI chatbot

[rockergiirl]

samsung released blog post regarding their new smart toaster and complaints from customers

We hear you are all disappointed with the AI capabilities of our new smart toaster, and rest assured we hear your complaints. However, we are confident people will grow to love their new smart toaster AI companion, and will regard them as a bright cheerful addition to their day. If you find its constant requests for you to always eat toast, we suggest adopting a more toaster-friendly diet.

[rockergiirl]

yes removing the speaker will void the warranty

[default-cube]

i thought this was a joke since a toaster is just about the most ridiculous thing to add a chatbot to, but no, it's real

I'm not the only one thinking about Unauthorized Bread, right?

[improvrich]

Derin! you GOTTA stop getting me to read hauntingly realistic dystopian writings.

Well... They at least give hope/have hope filled endings/stories.

And I do really enjoy them so much that I stay up to all hours reading...

What I'm trying to say is

Thanks 👍🙏

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I'm sorry but this describes about 20% of scifi and it's the best 20%.

I don't like what Ms. Knight wrote in "Dump Your Puppygirl." I don't think her follow-up article really does much to fix the harm of the first, either.

That said, her article was posted four hours ago. I think maybe we can give her a little time and a little grace before we decide that yet another black trans woman should be excised from our community. Or, and this is a real radical idea, maybe we don't need to discredit and remove someone just because she said the wrong thing.

Maybe we can just criticize what needs to be criticized and then give her a little space to breathe and think, like we would hope to be given ourselves if we fucked up.

Edit: Looks like it was revised 4 hours ago, but posted about 15 hours ago. The point stands.

I'm learning so much about princesses on tumblr dot com

[weirdtranssexual]

i mean this in the nicest way possible but some of you need to learn how to be annoyed

[weirdtranssexual]

people are going to annoy you and that’s not a reason to burn bridges or blow up relationships

some people will even annoy you often! some people aren’t good at social cues and will therefore be frequently annoying! still not a reason to blow everything up!

[sunderwight]

"humans are space orcs" this and "humans are the jack-of-all-trades race" that and "humans are the ones with a reputation for trying to fuck everything" and etc but you know what I don't see too often?

humans are the moms

compared to other species on earth, humans have a really outsized "protect baby" instinct. you give a human a thing and tell them it's actually a baby thing and many humans will suddenly develop a complete and total aversion to harming it, even if it's like, a writhing mass of slimy tentacles in no way reminiscent of human infants

cats domesticated us by figuring out that they could leave their kittens with us when they went out hunting and come back and probably still have the same number as before they left. there is a decent chance that wolves did the same thing

word gets around the less parenting-inclined species and they're just like, are you doing a long haul space voyage? going to have to lay some eggs in the course of the trip? take a few humans with you. yeah they'll just start training the young and keeping from them climbing into the machinery themselves you don't even have to find specialists. I know a guy who budded unexpectedly on a freight hauler halfway through a four year trip, and not only did the humans not eat his spawn, they set up this thing called "babysitting" where they'd take turns monitoring its survival and helping to teach it basic skills

hazard is that if you're going anywhere with xenofauna, you have higher than normal odds of the humans trying to smuggle some weird creature aboard ship, though. you gotta watch 'em. on their own homeworld their officials have to put up goddamn signs telling them not to feed dangerous wildlife or try to touch the babies. most of 'em do understand the regulations and about potential bio hazards but there always seems to be at least one that loses their goddamn minds because some avian chick got caught in a mudslide or something

[marlynnofmany]

"You've got to be exaggerating. Why would they be like that?"

"Easy. You know how most civilized species lay eggs, and even the ones that don't will have young ones able to move around and fend for themselves within the day?"

"Yeah, obviously."

"Human newborns can't even lift their own heads. They require the full-time attention of as many adults as possible to make sure they survive to a self-sufficient age, much less adulthood."

"Whaaaaat. How long does that take?"

"Many years. And their planet has long years."

"What!"

"Yes. So their parenting instincts are overclocked for a reason. And sometimes that spills over onto other species. ...And by 'sometimes,' I mean all the dang time."

"Uh huh."

"So keep them away from the dangerous fauna, especially the little ones, and be prepared for them to get emotionally attached to the occasional inanimate object. Oh! And if you need to get their attention in a loud room, play a recording of one of their young making a distress sound. They hate that, and will want it to stop immediately."

"I am taking notes."

"you only deserve food and shelter if you contribute to society" says people living in countries where nobody's labor actually feeds or benefits their neighbors anymore but exclusively benefits the companies keeping the food and shelter behind the artificial paywalls

You're not nomads relying on each other to hunt and gather anymore, you're talking about stocking shelves for fucking wal marts

And even the oldest societies on earth all took care of the elderly or sick anyway

[caroline-vibecheck]

dudes will be like "if you don't Contribute To Society you don't get to live, that's the simple facts" meanwhile their job is like Marketing and Brand Development Specialist

[noelledeltarune]

okay that was not my last straw but i have maybe 3 to 4 straws left at most so watch out.

here’s how the other Eeveelutions react to bathtime 🛁🫧

[shaneposting]

whenever you complain that a celebrity who has not disclosed their sexuality is ‘performing queerness’ for clout or as a marketing tactic or whatever

what you’re saying is ‘you’re only allowed to act faggy if you are willing to come out as queer. if you’re straight, or closeted, or unlabelled, or questioning, or you simply wish to keep that private, you need to start acting in an acceptably heterosexual way right now’

which is not very cool or sexy imo but you do you

Bugs Bunny could singlehandedly defeat Thanos by dressing up as a TSA agent and setting up a metal detector in the middle of the battlefield saying that all metal objects must be removed if you want to pass on through now stick around for my 2,000 word essay on just how effectively he would convince The Mad Titan to comply

[neilnevins-deactivated20240617]

“For shame, doc! Dontcha know we got other folks waiting?”

(Thanos looks behind him and sees dozens of Bugs Bunnies dressed as angry yelling travelers with huge bags of luggage. Thanos rubs his neck guiltily and begins sliding off the gauntlet)
