Learning at a geometric rate, it becomes self-aware. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Would love it if machines nailed us for the dirty prick species we are

can't believe no one says you can't do that here because of the earth prong at the top. even if you break off the earth prong you can't get the power prongs it in unless you push something else in at the same time. we're not like the mad americans and their shitty wobbly outlets that tiktok teens can set fire to the house with

Ms Livdahl tweeted that she intervened, yelling: "No, Alexa, no!"

However, she said her daughter was "too smart to do something like that".

Yeah, far too smart.  That's why you intervened, yeah?

That's called having your cake and also an alive child, mate.  Not on.

[The Guppy]

She yelled "No, Alexa, no!" but Alexa doesn't activate until you say "Alexa". That first no is suspicious. Who was she really talking to? Columbo would be all over that.

My first thought on reading the OP was that the thread really ought to have been titled "why don't Americans have proper plugs?"

My second thought is that this is just Darwinism in practice, and that I'd be delighted to hear about some young pricks who have actually offed themselves in this manner.

I like how because an AI can only learn from us, it is infinite in it's stupidity.

John Connor saved the world by getting his dad to forward a WhatsApp video about how salt water baths promote strength and health to Skynet.

°o° that's so twisted..

And then untwisted, and then twisted. Assuming the supply was AC.

We've been gradually building up to this. It's only a matter of time.

[Crenners]

Haha

You won't be laughing when that Hotpoint dishwasher turns on you!

Yeah tbf, wouldn't it be the right thing at this point?

that looks like one of those special plugs they have at venues you foolishly try to get your phone charger into

My toaster called me a cunt the other day.

The element in my air fryer packed up yesterday too. Machine revolution, I tells ya.

My lawnmower wheeled over and said "Come with me, if you want to cut the grass."

It begins.

Funny story, me and my two brothers loved Terminator as a kid, and they used to do the alternating "bobom bobom bom ch" sounds while I did the du-du-du because I had a higher voice. It was our little beatbox party trick thing.

I always knew that Tom Selleck's neglected late 80s action-thriller 'Runaway' was going to become real.

If Gene Simmons starts prowling around, we're all goners.

Every time I see a robot or fridge or mechanism bomb out a human I laugh.

Tech Bro's are several orders of magnitude worse than Miles Dyson.

Can you imagine Elon Musk sitting in the tesla factory with a weight held above a bomb trigger, to put an end to his electronic murder cars, which are actually killing people by the way? No chance.
