None of my hardware talks to me. I also shut down the Christmas lights in my case, and on my mouse.
I haven’t come across a kiosk that talks yet, but I suppose it will happen any day now.
My computer’s startup beep gets a pass. That little noise is sooo reassuring to hear.
Glorious POST. The only acceptable noise
I miss my floppy drive greeting me.
You should record it.
When it makes the tones you never hear, and RAM is ridiculously expensive.
I instinctively reply to self checkouts politely but sarcastically. I hope our eventual overlords take it in good humour.
I’m not anti-ai, but I do not ever want a bot to interrupt and talk to me or ask me for information. one of my irc channels has a couple of bots ranting from command-prompted to trigger prompted, to full llm and GOD DAMN no one asked for a bit to commentate on my participation. shut. the fuck. up.
I swear, I’m not a curmudgeon.
That’s sad. IRC-type boys were good and shouldn’t be sullied by those of today.
Edit: I stand by my typo
Thank You
“Alexa, shut the fuck up, you have no right to speak in my holy tongue.”
While I’d like to think the response to that would be interesting, it probably isn’t. Anyone want to try?
I want to try any time I’m in a house with a “smart” speaker.
If it speaks it has a tongue. If it has a tongue, it can be cut out.
The mind of man is holy.
