Why on Earth would we want to build anything even close to Data from Star Trek under these conditions?!
No matter how you slice it, we’d be trapping them in a living hell!

There was this old book in my school classroom I remember that was speculating about the future; it had illustrations of robot butlers and maids helping people about the house in that 1960s-painting style. Think the future as seen in “The Jetsons”.
That’s the “robot assistance” I was promised. So I’d say to my robot “Hey, can you turn the lights down?” And a humanoid robot would walk over to the light switch and turn the lights down.
Of course, it turns out building robots like that is hugely expensive so it’s easier to just sell smart lights that connect to a voice-activated app on your phone and that’s just not the same dammit. There’s no whimsy.

There’s a lot of “Heal the political divide” being said to mean “meet them halfway” when what it should mean is the ignorant and prejudiced learn and the media machine dismantled, like how “Heal the healthcare class divide” means “Help poor people see doctors affordably”.

I got rid of my home deep fryer for health reasons. It is dangerously easy, cheap, and quick to make quality fries…

At least the images clogging your search results were real images, not simulacrum…

Not only has AI made traditional Googling more difficult, but it’s also just clogging up the search results no matter what search engine you choose…
Also, I miss Pinterest.
