What do you mean? I think they all went to highschool.

Yes, I agree, and the point of the bsky thread was that all AI/robot stories get a picture with a conventionally attractive bald woman. Which is bad. Which is a bit different than the 'why do you want me to fuck your cartoon?' thing (even if it prob came from a similar place, it is very annoying that this is often the default robot body (or worse, the default female robot body, while the male one is Bender (see also this specific artist for pivot))).
E: Counterpoint (but wtf is up with that description 'womens emotions'?)
The one a bit iffy big boobed bald robot was pointed at as a 'stop doing this', as in a bit of a (understandable, not that I totally agree, do think we should he more careful. And it would be bad if all it was was 'unsexy' male and 'sexy' robots which it doesnt seem to be (see women sleeping on robot image from a while back) some less heteronormativity would he nice however, bring out the biker bear bots) streak they now seemingly not want to see bald robot women re ai/robots ever again. So it was more the final drop and an example than people being really mad at pivot.
I didn't point out that the other similar robot wasnt bald but head dread cables. (I didnt interact at all iirc, might have liked an post) because I know might be a hot button issue as well (esp in the usa, and well im not American, so not my place to even tell how much of an issue it even would be, and it would just be more oil). Prob for the best nobody linked the thread here in those comments.
E: not saying this to pick a fight, so please don't go searching for the thread etc. Esp as we all prob agree for 99% with each other and it is just squabbling over the importance of the final 1%, and I'm not, nor should any of you be Rutger Bergman (For context, he started blocking people who quote tweeted him and agreed a bit too aggressively, so much for building coalitions. Enjoy your EA but Dutch organization).
I saw some people were quite mad about the thing we are now joking about on bsky.
He looked in the mirror and wept, for there were no more things to ruin.
Thank you, fixed. And thanks for looking it up.
Thank you.
E: and small victory but at least .nl made it. more than 3k signatures in day in .nl alone, about 50k increase total.
And the healthcare CEO.
His blog was wild. Remains sad that the first part of the 'DANGER DO NOT READ!!! I will hypnotize you into having the best orgasms of your life' blog series was not properly archived.
From the comments of the LW article.
"I like and admire both Charles Stross and Greg Egan a lot but I think they both have "singularitarians" or "all of their biggest fans" or something like that in their Jungian Shadow.
I'm pretty sure they like money. Presumably they like that we buy their books? Implicitly you'd think that they like that we admire them. But explicitly they seem to look down on us as cretins as part of them being artists who bestow pearls on us... or something?"
Finally a usage for those AI bots. Silo LW, bot audience it, and problem solved
