when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Number one, even if we grant the premise they'd been "conceived as disinfectant chambers", that doesn't explain away what they were actually fucking used for.

This is also my weird reaction to that story that people are using AI to create computer generated porn of regular people they know. That is disgusting and invasive and also...totally unnecessary it is called an imagination.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
It's the very least they should be doing!

Asimov created the Three Laws on the assumption that we'd be sensible enough to hard-code, possibly hard-wire, them into robots.
Unfortunately, some people think that an inhuman, non-sentient, possibly much stronger servant in one's home will *automatically* come with those Laws installed.
