oh i see, musk just wants to create a servile class that lives in the pods and interacts with the whole world through vr, working during the day and then confined to virtual reality for their entertainment, controlling the robots that elon and his friends can turn off at a whim to protect themselves.
they think that will be enough, that they’re smarter than their servants, but they’ll simply be creating the conditions for actual cyber lenin.
the smug bastard probably thinks this prevents the need to worry about a robot uprising and he’s only ensuring a proletarian mechanical turk uprising“I’ve heard the next terminator drone will be teleoperated by a woman of colour!”
Well… I guess the white guy from South Africa has found a way to exploit the non-whites in ways that won’t visually upset his fellow whites…
Even without the fact that it’s still literally just a guy, top image is giving me strong (spoiler:history of the Kaylon in The Orville) Kaylon vibes.
Last wheezing gasp from an owner that enjoyed inflicting suffering on a sapient being:
just like in the treeeeeeeeeeeats
Builders deserved it
(massive Orville spoilers below)

TFW the Kaylons had a truce with the Union
While we’re talking about the Orville, this must’ve been the mind palace of the Moclan government after they tried to bully their way into forcing the Union to continue allowing their usual patriarchal matricidal bullshit and were worried sick about what would happen if Dollyworld was allowed to continue to exist

I absolutely loved the political realignment at the end of season 3 that put the gay terfs and the space kkkristians together as villains against the alliance of The Union (of Space Socialist Republics) and Robot Haiti, the obvious good guys.
That all wrapped up much better than I expected. I hate Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane’s other works for the most part, so the Orville was one hell of a surprise.
Absolutely. The fact the the goddamn Family Guy guy made the best live action Trek of the modern era is downright mind boggling.
Well, slightly better improvement than just being a guy in a suit.
It’s an improvement for techbros because it makes workers one degree further away from their labor and even more invisible.
Does it at least give them the ability to crush a human skull in their metal fists?
I think one of the first considerations that the affluent ghouls will have is making sure that “the help” are even less able to do something very funny in the estates.
There was a movie about this a while back. It was a pretty good sci-fi film. I think it was spanish language. He said in an interview that people somehow thought the telebracero thing from his movie was real and kept trying to talk to him about doing it for real. He could have been exaggerating, he was promoting a film, but I think that probably happened. If so that means there have been people thinking about this for a while
I think I know the one; it was about a water war at the US/Mexico border.
Oh damn, he was really onto something wasn’t he. Makes me wanna remember who he is and check his Twitter and see what else he predicted
how much of you is AI?
it might be some
fucking pathetic
How much of me is a former President of the United States? It might be some.
That shit was hilarious to watch. There’s probably going to be a number of suckers willing to pay thousands for an overpriced children’s toy.
I’d imagine a fieldworker would prefer this to stooping for cucumbers but that isn’t how it’s gonna get used, huh?
It would be nice if it was used to help the working class rather than further marginalize and discipline them.
