RealDoll the sex doll parent company bought by the roving husk of a cryptocurrency/metaverse capital demon pivots to selling hyper-realistic silicoid AI teaching robots to public schools on the Seneca Nation reservation, causing the state to spend $60k per doll they don't have to perform generational damage to already marginalized kids. That's a real consequence of the kind of world all the AI ghouls with a kind face are running cover for.

@jonny Matt McMullen, founder of the Realdoll company Abyss Creations, already began moving the company away from high-end silicone sex dolls years ago when it became clear that he didn't stand a chance against Chinese sex doll companies producing the same or even better quality for half the price. He then started the Realbotix line as sex robots, but not enough people wouldn't pay ten thousand dollars for an animatronic head for their Realdolls, and other than heads, the robotic machinery wasn't making enough progress to make human-robot physical interactions sufficiently safe. So McMullen decided to market the stuff as animatronic receptionists etc.
@jonny My ex was Seneca. We lived on the rez. I don't see them falling for this except for target practice.
@jonny scores 8/10 on the brain worm scale, need for testing indicated.
@jonny I would love to have seen the conversation that led to this project getting green lit.
"We have sex dolls with this and this many realistic holes. Do we like patch them up before we get those to the first grades' hands?"
@jonny Pretty sure they could have hired an actual human teacher for literally half that amount.
@jonny the layers of absolute horrible shit in this
A festering onion of terrible
The Grift grifts, continuously grinding reality into a miserable mush of suffering.
@jonny Oh my god. Realdoll is still a thing?
This shit would not be possible without the kind of passive boosterism that lets this nightmare seep into the water supply and keeps the bubble afloat.
gutting public schools and replacing them with AI is just about the worst thing i think you could do to a society, and the predictability of the order of where it gets rolled out first is sickening
Public education had created a world where the son of a factory worker could become a professional with a degree and a fancy title, so of course it had to be destroyed.
@jonny They want to remove the educators from education and let corporations dictate, through captive politicians, who gets taught what and to tailor history and reality to the whims of billionaires. People should have looked at Elon having Grok lobotomised in real time until it vomited white nationalist talking points and told people it believed a male, pasty, overweight and over 50 year old Elon Musk could be the world's top supermodel and recoiled in horror because this is the AI future, where all knowledge can be controlled from a central point and truth isn't a consideration. The fact the initial experiments are happening on underprivileged communities should shock no-one and disgust everyone, and everyone who greenlit this should be banned from touching education anywhere.
@jonny@neuromatch.social "it's just a tool", they say...
... that poisons Black communities
... that causes people to commit suicide
... that is used to delay and deny medical care
... and now, that further traumatizes and underserves Indigenous children.
@jonny@neuromatch.social every single time you use Claude or Grok, you poison the air Black people breathe. This is literally the easiest fucking trolley problem that has ever existed.
I wonder if one can do the math and figure out just how many grams of poison are released per "token"? The real cost.
