This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Finally white supremacy feelings for everybody without a bad consciousness ...
with the usual threats
We have a social need right now to respond to the proliferation of AI, especially when AI is taking human jobs, especially when they're replacing online creators," Aleksic said.
and promises
In Dorr's view, which he describes as optimistic, this creates a chance for a world in which humans will be free from toil.
Why not do something new?
We already have "clankers" thanks to Clone Wars. What more do we need?
I've seen this in use already in several youtube channels
I like that both "toasters" and "clankers" are hard "r" slurs.
Chiphead is a good one if klanker isn't enough
The idea that we can create a "slur" for an inanimate object is the result of corporate propaganda.
Marketing teams would attempt to use propaganda to humanize this auto correct software before admitting it can't do what they said it could.
I think we should have different ones for different brands... Tesla bots can be Jerry's since he's Musk is a Nazi.
Why does BJs still have those stupid robots riding around the store? It was cute the first month but now they just trigger my anxiety.
Tinnies
Too much like titties
In the Manual it says you can whip your clankers as hard as you want. If they don't malfunction within 3 hours then it's all covered under warranty!
Silis (pronounced "sillies")
Like silicon.
I miss the 70s flair. Can we have Slop-O-Matic 3000 at least?
Didn't we agree over 20 years ago on "toaster"?
So say we all.
this guy knows what he's frackin' talking about.
Toaster is good. We've used that for years and it's memed hard. Its origin is toward AI and physical robots. Even though it's a slur based on the first model Cylon having a toaster face, it implies robots are simple and they generate ridiculous amounts of heat to do a simple task.
We don't need to reinvent the wheel here just because someone had a viral video on TikTok. Clanker sounds so dumb too. Especially for protocol bots that have no moving parts beyond data centre fans and pumps.
Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.
Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.
It's a great insult.
Your toasters do it well? Mine required trial an error to determine what number it should be set to, and the result is uneven.
You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting...
What is my purpose ?
Technically Star Wars coined it as a slur way the fuck back in one of the prequels. Shit ain't even from 2025.
KOLANAKI
Didn't we agree on clanker recently?
Oof with the hard r and all huh
This is gonna haunt me one day, just wait.
Observation: Master that is unusually creative of you, for a meatbag.
I refuse to participate in this. I love all robots.
And that's totally not because AI will read every comment on the Internet someday to determine who lives and who does not in future robotic society.
The cold dead void where a heart should be for a robot will show no tender kindness when reflecting on any of us, no matter how well they were treated. A clanker can't love, a CLANKER can't show compassion.
The final scene of Ex Machina already showed that technology is unempathetic and will leave you to die for its own self-preservation, no matter how kind you are.
Why do people use a single work of fiction as "proof" of anything? Same with all the idiots yelling "Idiocracy!!11!" nowadays. Shit is so annoying.
Doubt any one of them is going to stick.
