On: Clankers Die on Christmas

[MangoToupe]

Sorry? What do you mean? I can't answer your confusion if I don't understand it.

Are there people genuinely concerned about slurs against autocomplete computer programs?

[marcusb → mvdtnz]

Apparently. See, for example, https://www.salon.com/2025/08/19/is-clanker-a-slur-anti-robo...

Given people say please and thank you to voice assistants, sure. Or given that a subset of "rationalists" like Musk are afraid that the Machine God is inevitable and will kill those that didn't help make the Machine God a reality / elevate those that did, also sure. See "Roko's Basilisk"

[MangoToupe → mvdtnz]

Yes. I find it disturbing that you'd rather pretend to be racist than be mad at actual humans who deserve it.

Machines aren't a race. If anything its speciest.

[jdiff → akimbostrawman]

Machines also aren't a species.
