They can refuel each other by docking or something. It'll be like that robot thats constantly sweeping the oil into itself and when it stops, it dies.

They can refuel each other by docking or something.

That's a funny way to spell dicking.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact: the term docking can refer to one person putting the head of their penis inside of the foreskin of another person.

I guess I'm one of today's lucky 10,000 for this particular factoid.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't know the term, but I wouldn't say I'm "lucky", now.

Yeah, I also feel kind of conflicted about this.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 21 points 2 days ago

Horrific, but still more lifelike than the real Zuck.

Only one response to that:

I actually did destroy the family furbies this way.

We got them, thought they were fun for a bit... but they wouldn't ever shut up.

We put them in a drawer, and they'd just rattle and groan, in the middle of the damn night.

So one day I took em, put em in the middle of the road, covered them in kerosene, lit em up.

... with a safety lighter, of course.

I remember their protestations as they burned.

Goddamn demon toys.

Never got punished for it, couple months later somebody just asked 'whatever happened to those damn fur toy things?'

'oh, i dunno, i thought you took em away or something'

'... whatever, just glad those are gone, christ, they would not stop yammering'.

Do we need a robot guillotine for those or will a regular one do?

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 8 points 2 days ago

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

My religion states that I have to destroy them if I see them.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

No, no, thats so ridiculous, why does Kojima always do this absurd over the top nonsense?

Oh whats that?

This is actual reality?

... Oh.

Maybe that Kojima guy was actually onto something.

If I see anything with Zuckerberg's face, I am bailing, "human", robot, dog, whatever

If you take the time to actually read the article/watch the video, the dogs are constantly taking pictures in styles of their person, and shit them out onto the floor lol.

Wow. I hate it. Fuck this guy.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You're supposed to hate it.

It talks of how art once influenced you, and now its algorithms.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

im all for art and stuff, even make some now and then, but i literally hate these things. it would take all my willpower not to stomp those things on site. sick of seeing them. cheers and be well.

[–] mosspiglet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think that's the reaction the artist intended: revulsion.

I do not condone the abuse of animals, but I will make an exception with this. Time to put some mutts to sleep via percussive maintenance.

[–] AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

My dog hates dogs. I would turn her loose on one of these shitboxes

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Each of he robots poops out AI art in the style of whoever's head it is. No surprise the artist is famous for NFTs.

I feel sorry for the car or truck that runs them over, poor vehicle.
