*clicks onto linkedin*

> half the posts are from techbro *men* talking about their AI pals that they have made

> some of their AI pals are depicted with early 20s female avatars

> the techbros are 50+ years old

*clicks off of linkedin in disgust*

so if you sexually harass your AI assistant at work, does it report you to HR? asking for all the guys on linkedin who seem to like their AI assistants a little too much

@ariadne as long as it happens to non-company ai-assistants we have no leeway

@ariadne this is actually the one use case for AI, they're like a grease trap for sexual harassment

@ariadne I enjoyed the film.

@grahamperrin can we get to the 'find out' part of the film where the AI sex bot wants to kill the person giving the bot the """turing test"""

@ariadne I can't remember it was """a while ago""".

I do remember liking the architecture, the woodland setting, and so on, although I wouldn't really want to live anywhere so sterile.

@ariadne I'd take Ex Machina over this timeline. The robot wins and the techbros get their comeuppance.
Show threadLaurent BercotMar 18
@ariadne Ex Machina was a good movie, the only unrealistic thing was that the techbro was the cautious one and didn't get bamboozled by his creation.

@ariadne "does that movie have a 'happy ending'?"
