I love TJ Klune books it's like: Cozy! Found family! So sweet and comforting! And then BAM! HORNY!!!

[tottymatsuno]

Working on my robot au and i decided ichimatsu would be the brother that would be extremely popular bc hes marketed as a domestic companion. There'd be someone in a civil rights legal battle with the supreme court to actually allow ai-human marriages to be legally recognized, with an ichibot.

I say this for several reasons, but mostly bc i can see yall doing that.

Osomatsu would be the cheapest to buy secondhand bc he keeps accidentally gaining real sentience and uses it immediately to gamble, commit crimes, fuck around and over all do osomatsu related bullshit. But he can drive! Thats his special feature!

I have ideas ofc for the other ones but lol ive been thinking "and osomatsu can drive too please stop returning him you cab use him as a taxi driver and make money off of him you just have to be okay with the fact he might hit on your customers or crash your car, or steal your money to gamble pleeaaaseee we're trying to fix this in Series 4!"

brocedes stepford wife type marriage. could be het, or not

i love your fics btw!

Not really stepford wives but robot nico???

"I've updated his language model and increased his audio processing speed," says Lewis, gesturing at the cracked-open shell of electronics on the table. It doesn't really look like Nico now, but as soon as his circuits get stuffed back inside where they're supposed to be and his titanium ribs are snapped shut, he'll look just like the boy Lewis followed to MIT when he was eighteen years old. He's not nearly as smart, or as funny, or as insufferable, but he seems to charm his customers just the same.

"And what is your progress on removing the accent?" says Toto. "I understand modelling a convincing human voice can be difficult but--"

"Zero percent progress," says Lewis. "I'm not doing it, just like I'm not designing a fucking companionship mode, because he is a state of the art robotic assistant, and not a robot girlfriend."

"At the going price," says Toto, arms crossed, "you could double your revenue by adding a companionship mode."

"He can affect politeness. That's the best I'll do."

Toto throws his hands in the air. "Frankly, I don't understand your hang-ups about AI companionship. It's the done thing now, and your models are the best on the market. You could change the game, if you weren't so--"

"I said no," says Lewis.

Toto lifts an eyebrow. "I suppose your gifts are reserved just for you? Your prototype--" He points in the direction of other robot-Nico, the prototype Lewis is always tinkering with, sitting placidly on a rather avant-garde armchair in the corner of the lab. "--behaves awfully affectionately, don't you think?"

Lewis frowns, assessing proto-Nico's idle seat. The cycle of his breath is so natural Lewis could almost be fooled into thinking he was real, if he didn't feel the swell of pride in his chest at the fact that he made proto-Nico, made him almost as good as the real thing. "He's experimental. Not--not ready for the market."

Toto crosses his arms, assessing. "I'm sure."

Commission I did a while ago. Could be possibly the first robot I've drawn 🤔

[mariesbee]

I see that on your commissions for what you will and won’t do, you list mecha as something you won’t do. I assume that means like mechs in general, but does that also mean you won’t do simple robots? Or you just won’t do those super complex mechas, and it doesn’t extend to robots?

hi! simple robots are fine, mostly. still, if you have something in mind, my dms are open! so we could make sure that your robot chara is something i could do c:

Watching lord boxman fussing over a ham and dolling himself up is like 'ooo what villainess does he have a hot date with today' and then discovering this is the episode which introduces professor venomous has me losing my shit

[cillyscribbles]

dunno how other folks in customer support do it but i genuinely enjoy helping solve folks' problems so i try to sound as friendly as possible. this in turn means if i'm like "your response is appreciated" and "cordially," chances are you're 3 passive-aggressive messages past my limit and i'm exploding you with my mind

[quillvice]

soooooo tired of the way that everyone is supposed to be available 24/7 to your every whims and needs and desires etc

[antlershade]

[sasssydaddy123]

Googled something earlier (sorry to all the trees I killed in the process) and Google couldn't generate an AI overview and ngl it made me smile way more than it should have

[sweetlikesunflowersandhoney]

had a 40 minute work call about my poor performance review and it consisted of a 15 minute mock-call that i excelled at (DUH!! she told me i'm an incredible interpreter), 5 minutes of hearing why i got the negative report, and 20 minutes of the supervisor saying "I understand why you did that and I agree with you, but the gringo company does not."
