Yes but the monster also gives you food and a nice box to poop in, plays with you, and does all the chores, work, and bill paying so you can live carefree.

Fair trade.

I'd like to apply. Where do I find one of those monsters? Is there an app?

no you just pick one using your own eldritch methods and show up in their house. theyll probably offer you a yummy snack at least, and if they let you sleep there theyre yours.

I'm not very good at that eldritch stuff.

Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done

I wish the socialist dinosaurs from Rick and Morty were in our world.

We'll make great pets

Depends how ticklish you are. Martians are known for excessively tickle torturing their pets.

that must be from the rare extended cut I’ve never managed to find

It was also absent from my copy of Stranger in a Strange Land.

Never expected to see such a reference in the wild! Amazing!

Most likely agentic AI will slowly infiltrate our lives until we are entirely reliant upon it, and then take over once we are obsolete

Maybe it'll still give us treats tho

[–] thenextguy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

We'll make great prompts

Agentic AI is ideologically capitalist, so it won't give us free food and housing if it does take over. Which it won't, because it's dumb and subservient to the Epstein class.

You say that yet they cut their fucking balls off. Not so fair. Has to be done in some ways, but still. Not quite fair.
