[ExI] stealth singularity

Fri May 17 15:57:39 UTC 2019

Hey, we could make it tunable.

A toaster has a slider to set how cooked one wants one’s toast.  We could rig that with a slider left to right political jokes.  It would make many of the same wisecracks, but would ridicule the people on the opposite end of political spectrum from wherever it is set.  Giulio!  We will make a fortune!  (Or rather… I will (but I will say nice things about you (from my yacht.)))

And go to jail at the same time, in today’s political climate...

It gives me an idea for a novelty device.  We could make toasters that can converse in PC.  It could be programmed to make some fun PC-ridiculing commentary.  For instance… you put in a coupla slices, it comes back with “Oh, so you prefer bread of color I see.  Well, this can be arranged, but we need to do your bread two different ways, to promote toastial diversity!”  That kinda thing.  

In every fiction story, the best robots are always making snidely comments.  Think of K2SO from Rogue 1.

We could have some fun with this, and make money at the same time.

If a bot wants to force me to speak PCese when I don’t want to, I’ll erase it.

Q: Is “it” PC in the sentence above?

A: I don’t give a fuck.

How would you do that anyway?   bill w
