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
I have seen absolutely nobody refer to the chatbots as “clanker”. Notice how this so called ‘criticism’ of the AI future still accepts as true the same premise the AI fanatics are pushing, they just hold a flashlight under their chin and go, “and it’s evil!!!”
I don’t think statistical word generator is as useful as all the investor types seem to think it is, and they’re gearing us up for an unthinkably massive market correction in the near future. That’s a real criticism of AI.
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.
Fracking toasters.
Toasters is, and always has been a better insult.
It needs to be plugged in, temperature set, then a button to turn bread into toast.
Basically calling a machine simple, single purposed, restrained, and relatively unconfigurable.
While fairly dangerous when left unattended.
It’s also a device that is demonstrably better without AI. So you’re essentially saying that they would be better as script driven assembly arms.
Idk man.
The AI could like take a voice recording, break it down, say sure thing! This is how you make a toasted turkey sandwich!
Then refuse to toast your bread until it knows you put turkey, lettuce,tomato and mayo on the bread
So say we all
So say we all.

no. we call them toasters for a reason.
Frakking toasters.
I and at least two other people once called robots “tin cans” on social media. Can mashable turn that into a “news story”, too?
Slur requires a group of disparaged people to whom the slur is targeted. Beep-boops with no intelligence ain’t fucking people.
Well, all right. But I don’t want anyone to think we’re robosexual or anything, so if anyone asks, you’re my debugger.
Oh my god they were debuggers!
We’re heading towards Deus Ex.
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.”
I hate that we call social media debate platforms.
CEOs found a way to divide us with the internet. I hate what it became
I mean specific forums for debate and not the general social web, but you probably just wanted to vent and that’s fair.
Bless you for clarifying, my brain hopped right to you meaning Twitter for some reason. You can tell how much faith I’ve got these days lol
Well thinking about it, your assumption is probably the norm nowadays. I’m the weirdo still visiting places running vbulletin and shit lol.
The forums are still very good platforms for automotive content and troubleshooting. I assume there are other fields where this is true. The etiquette there was always to lurk and learn before posting. Here, not so much.
There’s still great places here and even on reddit to find information, the key is just to focus on finding places where people enjoy the subject of the forum XD
But yeah, lurk lurk lurk, unless you have something of value (or funny) to contribute.
The term “social media” is already toxic. When I started using the Internet, socialising and media were two separate things. Conflating the two implies that every time we say something, we are publishing an article and should care about how many views and likes we get, instead of making a genuine attempt at connection. And it suggests that every reply should be some kind of review of the post it replies to.
In the days of forums, people would just post what came into mind. They were more honest because there was no number next to your comment rating how good it was.
That’s what people use discord for now.
By nature and definition, social media is any platform that without users there would be no content. Vbulletin forums et al actually fall into that scope.
And gods do I miss them. Used to have a website i’d go for every niche discussion, and if there were points in the forum it was usually for gimmicky flash games or something and not for clout
I think a major criteria should be gamifying of content with likes, follows, etc. as the person above was getting at.
We need a c/okbuddyclanker
Okie dokie clanker, mesa go creates it for yoo.
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.

Every time I pull the string on the back of this doll it says something nice to me. Is this true love?
Hate to break it to you but that aint the back of the doll and it isn’t a string you are pulling either.
But the affection is genuine.
Reach for the sky, Partner!!!
That ship’s already passed, women have been loving on hand-held robots for decades now. I would bet that some women love their buzzy little friend more than the man in their lives.
To the point of marriage?
Ask them, I’d bet you’d find some takers.
There was a guy who married his DS (yes, a Nintendo DS) so I could see this happening. marrying something that isn’t even alive is just weird
One joke
Sounds like the ‘clank’ slur from the Deus Ex universe.
Counting the days till conservatives start flying Knights Templar uniforms.
It’s the clanks! Beat it felllas!
