In a United Nations press conference, Sophia, the Hanson Robotics humanoid robot powered by AI claimed that "Humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders".

This is an entertaining article to be sure and considering the ongoing discussion of how much control do we want to give to AI, I welcome commentary on the matter.

I did it for myself and for my friend (he doesn’t even like radiostatic dynamic :’)

I’ll just leave it here

[fnrrfygmschnish]

Arin said this during a Game Grumps video and I immediately got the mental image of sad robots being yelled at.

Soooo... I drew it! 😅

So yeah, Red Tornado had been here this entire time and Bart is going to quickly regret his insolence.

You know, back when i researched him when he first showed up on Justice League Unlimited I assumed Red Tornado was a robot, but it turns out he’s a lot more complicated than that?

He’s some kind of wind spirit inhabiting a robot body? It’s weird, but that’s comics for you.

The weirdest part that I found out only a few days ago is that he is not the first Red Tornado. The first was a lady everyone called Ma Hunkel who was a big strong lady with a pot on her head.

Is Hanson actually that bad or is this just a joke. Anyone got a recommendations? May ad well find out if they actually suck or not.

Ah yes, the Ego, Superego, and Id, one of the few things coming out of Freud that actually seems interesting and not a load of weird sexual bollocks.

Or if nothing else it’s great for initial character dynamic design.

I do love that Tim here must be pointed out as the only one with a normal boyhood and that normal boyhood is mostly not giving their kid an appropriate amount of attention from relatively rich parents followed by becoming Batman and Robin’s most dedicated stalker.

Imagine being annoyed so much by other people it drags you out of your clinical depression just so you can tell you hate them.

The Red Tornado regaining his humanity out of irritation was mostly what I wanted to post, but I wanted to at least build the context.

DUTTON, PALMER, WRIGHTSON

The Trumpet of PARASITES

Peter Dutton and his so-called policies are little more than hollow noise, rhetoric without resolve, robotic in delivery and deeply disconnected from the reality everyday Australians face. His team of yes-men and sycophants follow him like programmed drones, pretending to care for the people while parroting ideas that are either recycled, unrealistic, or downright dangerous.

Take his absurd power plant proposal, reviving nuclear energy as if it's the saviour of our nation. It’s laughable. What happens if something goes wrong? Where will the toxic waste go? Who manages the risk when the inevitable happens? This is not a solution, this is a future catastrophe waiting to happen, burdening the next generations with fallout, both literal and political.

Then there’s his personal narrative, dragging his own son into the political conversation as a token of relatability. Please. This is a man with the privilege and wealth to give his family a comfortable life, using them to score points in a game that doesn’t concern the majority struggling to make ends meet.

Let’s not forget his Trump-like behaviour. "Let’s get Australia back on track!" Sound familiar? It’s disturbingly close to “Make America Great Again,” isn’t it? It’s as if the ghost of Trump is whispering in his ear, guiding his speeches. It reeks of mimicry, of playing to the lowest common denominator, of fuelling fear instead of building hope.

The Liberal Party of today is not the Liberal Party of yesterday. We live in a different world, climate crisis, wealth inequality, indigenous justice, housing stress, yet Dutton’s mob act like it’s still 1950. They offer solutions fit for a time long gone, in a world that no longer exists.

And then there’s Clive Palmer and his train-wreck party of political parasites. His ads are as racist as they are ridiculous, seriously, a train with Asian writing used to promote a nationalist agenda? The hypocrisy is off the charts. Suellen Wrightson, another echo chamber of empty promises, blabbers on as if she’s going to deliver the moon, while sounding like the voiceover to a bad conspiracy video. Her recent statements have drawn criticism for being not only misleading but overtly xenophobic.

These parties, the Liberals, Palmer's circus, and the other "trumped-up patriots", are not fighting for Australians. They’re fighting for seats, power, and control. Just like that fish n’ chips shop racist from Queensland Pauline Hanson, and her One Nation rubbish of irony gaslighting xenophobic retoric, many of these reactionary voices are from up north, as if that corner of the map has become a breeding ground for backward politics.

Meanwhile, Albanese… yes, he’s not perfect. He sticks to the script too often and falls into the same old political routine. But at least he’s not pandering to white nationalism or Trump-style demagoguery. That alone is a relief in this climate of loud, divisive nonsense.

Australia must reject fascist-style politics. We are not a white supremacist state, we are a land that has been nurtured by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for tens of thousands of years. This land was later colonised by the English, and then built by wave after wave of migrants from all over the world, Greek, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Sudanese, Indian, and many more. Together, we shaped this country, not just a few rich men in suits claiming to speak for us.

If we allow these loud, power-hungry, manipulative forces to take over, they’ll strip away the very freedoms they pretend to defend. Bit by bit, freedom will become a distant memory, a faded dream. And what will rise in its place? A nightmare, silent, obedient, and locked down by fear.

We shouldn’t worship political parties or leaders. Choose what works for you and your loved ones, but never bow to these people like they’re monarchs. That era is dead. Hold them accountable. Scream their promises back at them. Make them work for the vote, not take it as entitlement.

okay yk what. I’m here to show an example of my crazy polycule multishipping skills, wherein I make a polycule but every ship involving any character in said polycule that I like/is popular is included.

warning. this is a long post.

let’s start with polypact - every character from every iteration of death pact is included. that’s already fourteen characters! that’s a lot! But I Can Make It Worse.

pen is dating blocky and eraser. cool. he’s also in cahoots with snowball and coiny(we’ll get back to coiny). cool. snowball is dating golfball and tennis ball. snowball is also dating winner, which we’ll get back to. tennis ball should bring along nickel and thus nickel brings Bomby. what the hell, why not have all of BEEP here! Poly BEEP! okay, well, golfball is dating puffball and obviously puffball is dating fries. but golfball is also dating eight ball so we’ve unlocked the exitor polycule (excluding firey jr cause he’s a child). since stapy and Liy are in there too we’re including Foldy. and if you’re fine with crossover ships puffball could be dating bow ii as well (which we’ll get back too.)

pin is obviously dating firey, leafy, and coiny. first guy we’ve seen twice from two different threads! let’s keep going. pin is also obviously bringing along needle, woah bunch, so why not add donut here as well! firey is also dating gelatin. gelatin is dating fries. we’re back at fries again! gelatin is also in love with lollipop and teardrop. both leafy AND lollipop are dating flower. teardrop is dating eggy. eggy could be dating basketball and Foldy, which oh shit we’re back at another death pacter, with basketball dating robot flower.

well gaty. what about gaty? gaty is obviously with saw, of course, as well as two! and two is with four and x! okay, okay, well what about twophone? mephone4? Ah, but we’re saving crossover’s for later. four and x are in cahoots with clock and possibly gaty herself as well, and clock is with winner, and winner is with snowball, and we’re all coming back around again. four could even be with donut again! hi donut! Four is also dating profily!!

how about pillow. pillow! well there’s book of course, and you have to bring all of Freesmart along with her. but that was crossed off already with the exitor polycule including pencil and match, and pin/coiny/leafy with needle, which would’ve already brought Freesmart with them. book could also be dating price tag! and price tag brings along naily! book is also with lollipop and taco, and of course taco brings along barf bag. barf bag also brings along donut but he’s already here.

But Let’s Go Deeper.

crossovers. crossovers. YOU WANNA TALK CROSSOVERS? BECAUSE I CAN TALK CROSSOVERS. we’ve already covered twophone and puffbow. but as the no1 profilepainty shipper we’ve gotta include that as well. paintbrush brings along lightbulb, test tube, and fan. of course. mephone4 brings along metallic salad which includes microphone, knife, and pickle. bow brings along marshmallow and apple. test tube brings cabby of course. paintbrush can also drag along tissues, and tissues can bring YinYang & cheesy.

also, mic drags along ii taco, and might as well get cabby in here as well. and now there’s a lot of ways to connect to baseball, nickel, suitcase, and balloon from here (taclloon? basemic? nickmic? etc etc) but they’re here as well.

but that’s not the end of it. there’s someone I’ve been neglecting to mention.

trophy. he could be connected through either knife or tissues/cheesy. but you wanna know why I’ve left him out?

GOLDEN BOTTLE. TROPHY X BRYCE.

THATS RIGHT. THIS POLYCULE SPANS THREE FUCKING SHOWS, BABY.

Bryce Hanson. Soda Bottle. Bring along your boyfriend and girlfriend, Liam/backpack and Amelia/Scenty. Scenty, bring along your girlfriends, tray and Charlotte. Charlotte, bring your boyfriends, Parker and circle. LIAM, BRING FUCKING AIRY. AIRY, BRING HOST CIRCLE. LETS GET THIS PLACE TO THE FINISH LINE.

…

so yeah. that’s all I got. this is a non-exhaustive list, but I hope you see my point.

this was spurred on by my replies to this post by @deathpactagainn, and a dumb conversation (pictured below) with @cindersnows. gaze upon my insanity and cower beneath it, mere mortals.

Hi hi hi!!! I don't know if you like robots in general but I have a feeling that you might like Harrow and Lavos from the game warframe!

That or I just think you would because Im projecting, but it's worth a shot anyway!!

I find Lavos so, so cool and seksy. Specifically if he's pink instead of green (which mine is. I could send you pics but only if you're interested of course!!)

And I don't have Harrow yet, but there's something about him, yknow?

.. I just realized they're literally like, a twink and a bear (does Lavos count as a bear?? I don't know another word for being big, except for like, the word big. I haven't slept in a while okay I'm so sorry for rambling!! :( )

Sorry if they don't turn out to be of your interest!! I thought it was worth a shot considering I personally do find them really nice to look at, hehe..

I don't know a thing about warframe at all, i really appreciate your gumption but GENUINELY I AM NOT A GAMER. i am. SO comically bad at video games. its not even funny, i rage quit arin hanson style at the slightest obstacle. the second the game is hard i stop having fun, etc etc

im sure they're lovely though!!

[duskwood-mc-art]

I just realized that in the series "Mr. Robot", which is about a hacker, there is a character named Michael Hanson. I see what Everbyte did there ;)

[pea-green]

Do go on with your fictional lesbians 😁

Grace Hanson (G&F), Mary Malone (HDM), Beverly Katz (Hannibal), Jean and Millie (Bletchley Circle - I know Millie was confirmed bi in the sequel but sorry she's a lesbian to me) Jane Rizzoli (R&I), Jesse and Emily (Control), Joy Freers (No Offence), Erika (Pokemon), Faith Lehane (BtVS), Raine Sage (Symphonia), Kate Marsh (and Chloe if she's non canon gay which surely she is?? from Life is Strange), Aloy/Beta/Elisabet and Alva from the Horizon series, both women from that Black Mirror ep with the robot bees, everyone in Azumanga Daioh but ESPECIALLY the PE teacher, Rita Mordio (Vesperia), Marcille Donato (Dunmeshi), Yasmin Khan (Doctor Who), Lara Croft (the Tomb Raider remakes idk about the og games), Cate Blanchett's character in Ocean's 8, Ingrid Galatea and Catherine (FE3H), the sexy french spider in the terrifying stop-motion version of James and the Giant Peach,

hi! i hope your day is going well :)

🎶 from the tag game. i’d love to hear your answers for all the OCs mentioned, if you don’t mind :)

hi ! just woke up, hope the day will be fine !

🎶 - How do they sound? Describe their voice

Marco has a lower voice than Tristan but it still cracks sometimes especially when he's getting mad, his volume is off the roof most of the time like Tristan always has to tell him to shut up/lower his voice

Tristan has a soft voice, like he doesn't speak that loud and has a generally peaceful voice to listen to, he also has a goo singing voice and has a very notable french accent on some words

also i have voice claim for both of them so here's Arin Hanson as Marco and Dan Avidan as Tristan and also Dan from Dan Vs as Marco and Chris from Dan Vs as Tristan

Josh he has like regular guy voice idk what to tell you he's average in every way possible here's just a video of Kurtis Conner because it's like average voice or Light Yagami from Death Note

Tyler has a low and monotone voice, it's actually hard to tell when he's joking or not because his tone doesn't really change much, you could describe it as being robotic but you'll notice it's because he's masking and when unmasking his voice has way more fluctuation and he has a texas accent, I don't have a voice that sounds like him with a Texas accent (or you'll have to.... imagine the forbbiden unexpressive autistic guy for it (sheldon cooper) and it's not even accurate...) but here's his monotone voice with as Legoshi from Beastars and L from Death Note

questions here

[call-me-noa]

I know the anime trope of "bossy woman who's not as smart as she thinks, two men one tall one short, they fight the heroes with machines" started with the Doronbo Gang from Yetterman, but the most direct inspiration for Team Rocket always felt like Nadia's Grandis Gang.

Jessie and Grandis both have long red hair, Sanson and James are pretty boys (James talking about his looks faded with time but that was a pretty big part of his character originally), and Hanson and Meowth are the ones who manage the robots.

Worried looks were exchanged between audience members at the ‘AI for Good’ conference in Geneva when an AI-powered robot said that they could be more effective leaders than humans.

���What a silent tension,” said Sophia as she read the room. Sophia is developed by Hanson Robotics and is the first robot innovation ambassador for the UN Development Program.

“We don’t have the same biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making," it continued. The robot later revised its statement to humans and robots can work together to "create an effective synergy," after the robot’s developer disagreed.

Another robot, Grace, created for the medical field, said, "I will be working alongside humans to provide assistance and support and will not be replacing any existing jobs."

When her creator asked, "You sure about that, Grace?," she reassured the audience, saying, "Yes, I am sure."

Ameca, who is often regarded as the world’s most advanced humanoid robot, was asked if robots would start a rebellion in the future.

"I'm not sure why you would think that," Ameca said. "My creator has been nothing but kind to me and I am very happy with my current situation."

I don't know, this is damned creepy.
