One worker briefly approached a reporter before noticing the robot nearby and deciding not to speak

Hey guys! Here is our surveillance bot! He's going to make sure that even your break time is full of anxiety and disgust. Here at Amazon, shut up and fucking take it you whore! Give us a smile, kiddo, it's hotter that way.

    The robot's responses were described by company representatives as "generally appropriate."

    After about an hour with my coworkers this thing would be the foulest mouthed "employee" in the building.

    In multiple languages.

    Who else thinks the biggest retailer in the world shouldn't be allowed to dabble in virology? We shouldn't let them create new drugs that they will patent and require Prime subscription to be treated.

    If there were something here to actually create that discrepant moment, something at the bottom of the text or in the comments from the OP which says "you've just eaten the onion" or similar, then I would have no problem. Then, it WOULD be educational, and an excellent reminder as you say. However, there is no such indicator from the OP. That means that people will not actually get the learning experience unless someone points it out in the comments. Hence, I point it out in the comments.

    I think these posts are a wake up call. We all learned in school how to evaluate a source of information, yet we've gotten used to just accepting whatever we see online without any proof at all. In the grand scheme of things the fake news being spread is harmless, and if it teaches people to be more alert I say make a bunch more articles.

    I prefer to use my tongue to unlock my phone. Only some of the newer Chinese phones have this feature but now that I am used to it I can't go back.

    Who said anything about lying? You’re not deceiving anyone here. This actually happened in some timelines out there. We’re just getting conflicting reports because of the messy signals.

    The TempleOS timeline isn’t the worst. I feel really sorry for the XEDOS timeline where Windows started out POSIX-based. :P

    Well, you see, you've stumbled on a hot-button issue there, because you live right next to the new factory on C.F. Boulevard, and they're using an infinite number of rabid monkeys to staff their typewriters. I personally think their "Ape Intelligence™" business model is harmful to local small businesses. I fully support levying fines against the factory (owned by Grossly Productive Typewriters, Inc.) sufficient to make it financially untenable to remain in our town.
