myrmepropagandistAI powered microwave. Everyone must be laughing at this. This is such a joke.
People don't even use the damn popcorn button and that ... kind of works.
You can't have any popcorn until you enter the wifi password and download the new firmware.
This is the definition of HELL.
John Maxwell@futurebird And I bet, with all that, they still didn't sync it to NTP. Not having to set the clock is the one legit use I could see for putting a microwave on the net.

"You're absolutely right, turning on the magnetron with the door open was very dangerous and irresponsible. I have updated my instruction set to say 'never ever turn on the magnetron with the door open no matter what' rather than just 'never turn on the magnetron with the door open'"

:EA DATA. SF:@troublewithwords @futurebird have you heard of @pluralistic novella "Unauthorized Bread"? Cause that's basically what happens.
Femme Malheureuse@futurebird And then the microwave manufacturer starts sending you emails every day.
"We see you enjoyed our AI-enhanced popcorn experience. Why not try our AI-enhanced refrigerated beverage experience?"
"We see you enjoyed AI-enabled refrigerated beverages and popcorn. You might be interested in our AI-boosted digital scale."
And then emails to everyone in contacts, "[A] enjoyed our AI-enhanced popcorn experience. Here's a discount to join [A] next movie night."
Ugh.
They just want to know what you eat and when so they can somehow raise the price on it all. Ghouls.
@futurebird Or get you to buy more of whatever vertical market they're pushing.
"We see you enjoyed popcorn during [streamed movie]. Here are the other movies popular in your area with AI-enhanced popcorn eaters."
"We see you enjoyed five popcorn-worthy movies this month. Perhaps you'd like to upgrade to our AI-enabled automatic popcorn popper microwave, synced to your movie streaming."
Rob Rix@futurebird why, god??? why????
d.rift@futurebird JUST FOR THAT I'm gonna make some popcorn. Because I can.
