Are you kidding? Is this part of the joke?
- marcosdumay 1y agoHalf of the point of The Clone Wars is that their society is completely broken, and the people using that term are almost as much "programmed" and "enslaved" as the robots they are fighting against. What yes, if this is part of your joke, then great. If not, you may actually be the butt of your own joke.
- MangoToupe 1y agoSorry? What do you mean? I can't answer your confusion if I don't understand it.
- mvdtnz 1y agoAre there people genuinely concerned about slurs against autocomplete computer programs?
- marcusb 1y agoApparently. See, for example, https://www.salon.com/2025/08/19/is-clanker-a-slur-anti-robot-jokes-accused-of-being-thinly-veiled-racism/ https://www.salon.com/2025/08/19/is-clanker-a-slur-anti-robo...
- MangoToupe 1y agoYes. I find it disturbing that you'd rather pretend to be racist than be mad at actual humans who deserve it.
- akimbostrawman 1y agoMachines aren't a race. If anything its speciest.
- jdiff 1y agoMachines also aren't a species.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoGiven people say please and thank you to voice assistants, sure. Or given that a subset of "rationalists" like Musk are afraid that the Machine God is inevitable and will kill those that didn't help make the Machine God a reality / elevate those that did, also sure.
