fyi all you tech bros salivating over some kind of "ai assistant" that's intelligent enough to understand you and act on your desires, but for some reason doesn't need to be treated with respect or be given any sort of compensation at all...

hate to break it to you but you're reinventing something again, and it's definitely not something good

@ana i watched some of that tesla event where they showed off actual working robots (instead of just some guy in a terrible outfit) and basically everything musk said to hype them up made me convinced he just wants to own slaves. he was huanizing them as much as possible, but also going on about how cool it would be to own them. he kept relating them to droids from star wars, because he's an embarassing loser, but him saying how it'd be cool to own C-3PO felt so off-putting

@ana star wars not interrogating itself for having a sapient slaves is bad enough already. it's really fucked up seeiing how disposable droids are treated, how clearly they're people and how their suffering is used for comedy

but dang it's so much worse watching the worlds richest turd desperate to make that a reality
