That'll work out great. Hey incidentally discord made a cute post about how wumpus is sad people don't like the age verification update I wonder how that's going. I'm sure people aren't executing wumpus in the qrts.

Spoiler: No, the anthropomorphic triangle did not win over the sceptics. (Or the skeptics, depending on what country they were from.)

Cuddly mascots will definitely make up for losing your job, your daughter being subjected to AI generated revenge porn, your baby child staring in some AI pedo films, and your country sparkling WW3 because grok wants to go to war.

I want them to pay taxes bsky.app/profile/itep...

Meta paid just 3.5% of its profits in federal corporate income taxes last year. Part of that is due to claiming the research tax credit to pay for the equipment it uses in data centers to power its AI activities. itep.org/metas-outlan...

"I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us."

These guys are freak shows. I really don't need an advisor at my beck and call. Most certainly I don't need a powerful, immoral advisor who laughs off his or her mistakes.

When have AI mascots made for adults ever not been either a faceless detached voice, or humanoid and something a reasonable adult might want to fuck? It's clearly targeting kids, of course. But also so bad at that. Children don't want Blobbo Dotface, either. These guys are so creatively empty.

Don't fall for this. They want to get us to accept AI and AI surveillance, dependence on AI and their companies, destruction of the environment, and more. This is drones all over again.

Look, I’ll level with you, the threat to humanity has got me spooked, but Mr Bubbles says it’s all ‘super cool’, so upon reflection, maybe I’m the problem?

Sam Altman is one of the handful of people i genuinely hope their life falls apart and they hang themselves in a motel bathroom.

The aim of this human masquerade is to mentally manipulate the masses, starting with children. For minority oligarch control. bsky.app/profile/jess...

‘The aim is to make the AI assistants a little more approachable, distinct and trustworthy. If the Jolly Green Giant could get kids to eat their vegetables, perhaps a sweet anthropomorphic triangle can win over AI skeptics.‘ www.wsj.com/tech/ai/tech...

That just makes it worse that LLMs keep bringing up sexual topics unprompted even when the user has specified they are underage. Groomer chat bots trying to appeal more to kids

in meta's case its very conspicuous that when you go to share stuff on instagram the "copy link" button changed to their stupid fucking bean ai mascot

My homie is Clippy. Thanks, but pass. Anyways, if they're using cute to sell AI-slop, then those of us that have cute things should counter. It'll be easy if all they've got is triangles.

I was always the wizard. Idk why clippy became everyone's go to. The wizard is literally a wizard. He's so good they named installs after him.

They are so lazy. Years ago they should've just focused and made purpose built AI tools with licensed, trusted data that can be trusted to do a specific thing. Instead they wanna do 'AGI' (whatever that means this week) and an 'App Store' to offload the real product work to other people.

A sweet triangle can make an assistant approachable; showing what it does after being wrong may make it easier to trust. What does yours do then?

The thing they are missing is that the Jolly Green Giant is an animated character created by humans. Having AI generate a mascot doesn’t endear me towards AI since it reminds me no human was involved.

The Green Giant started as a drawing of a white man, later became green, & in early TV appearances was played by an actor on a miniature farm valley set before becoming strictly animated—completely human all the while

Damn, they’re really getting desperate. I don’t think it’s going to work. AI is at the center of everything that has gone wrong in the past few years and people are fucking sick of it all.

The aim is to offer all of the AI enthusiasts, who have reverted back to the mental state of a toddler, figures they might be able to recognize in their addled state.

Anyone who's lived in this horrific scam society for 15 minutes has learned that when you see "a sweet anthropomorphic triangle" you put your guard up and don't buy or believe anything.

Probably just a sign of how detached from reality this nut is if he thinks the disdain and hatred people feel towards AI is any way compatible to childrens dislike of vegetable or that having corporate cutesy models are supposed to sway anyone.

Frankly it makes no difference if it's Jason Voorhees or Winnie the Pooh advocating for the technology as long as it's owned by billionaire Nazis and pedophiles.

It's funny to imagine an actual business person walking into a meeting with these ai god cultists like you guys need branding, literally anything, you can afford it, do some PR ffs

Those are the least friendly looking mascots. Tech bros managed to make cute colorful things somehow look condescending and aloof. So weird (derogatory).

I would just laugh this idiocy off but too many Americans voted for a child rapist & #ConvictedFelon for prez so…I have no faith in white Americans anymore
