I mean, he even makes the transformer/transgender pun, without understanding that it is literally the same prefix. The entire god drat point is that they can change their appearance, or form, presumably including their genitals, if it made any sense for robots to have genitals. Which the internet has taught me it does.

it really does seem that a lot of people who used to be out and proud athiests or at least very critical of religious dogma seem to have aligned with Christian nationalist rhetoric all so they can hate the LGBTQ+ even more

its like they they couldnt get the most out of their hate and had to change specs to properly run the dungeon otherwise the guild wouldnt invite them to the raid

My theory is fighting religion for them was a lot more DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO than based on solid ideological grounds, so now that they get more pushback from "wokescolds" than from the Moral Majority, the focus has shifted.

Which is a shame because the destruction of religion is more needed than ever, but that's what happened to the libertarians too.

There's a lot of stupidity in this week's Sinfests but this is what hit me hardest. Ah yes, machinery, notable for being impossible to modify or alter in any way!
Although Ishida just going "but I'm not turned on by trans women, therefore they don't deserve rights" was definitely just him plaintexting what he's been saying all along.

Child’s Play is about Brad Dourif’s ghost inhabiting a plastic doll with the power of voodoo. I know the Aubrey Plaza remake is about AI, but there’s no doll in that one.

Are you guys just doing the not understanding as a joke right now?

Many artists and writers have completely sensible fears that AI art and writing programs, while fun to play around with, will be harmful to thier line of work as corporations use them so that they dont have to pay anyone for thier services. Yes i know "political cartoons lol nothing of value will be lost yadda yadda" but its not complety dense to make a statement that you have that kind of fear

So, as the comic implies, what looks like a toy is actually a threat

I don't think it's too much of a quibble to say it's not ai and doesn't have agency, it's a bunch of plagiarism machines and the problem is that our systems are set up to encourage the exploitation of workers. It's not inherent to the technology but the tech is the only villain identified.

The new machines weren't the problem for the Luddites, the owners using them to displace skilled artisans from reliable well paying work was.

Basically it's putting the blame in the wrong place and misstating the problem. But it's still better than 3/4 of the comics here, just by being bland and inoffensive.
