    oh i see, musk just wants to create a servile class that lives in the pods and interacts with the whole world through vr, working during the day and then confined to virtual reality for their entertainment, controlling the robots that elon and his friends can turn off at a whim to protect themselves.

    they think that will be enough, that they’re smarter than their servants, but they’ll simply be creating the conditions for actual cyber lenin.

    cyber-lenin the smug bastard probably thinks this prevents the need to worry about a robot uprising and he’s only ensuring a proletarian mechanical turk uprising

    Well… I guess the white guy from South Africa has found a way to exploit the non-whites in ways that won’t visually upset his fellow whites…

      Last wheezing gasp from an owner that enjoyed inflicting suffering on a sapient being:

          (massive Orville spoilers below)

          spoiler

          TFW the Kaylons had a truce with the Union sicko-wholesome

          While we’re talking about the Orville, this must’ve been the mind palace of the Moclan government after they tried to bully their way into forcing the Union to continue allowing their usual patriarchal matricidal bullshit and were worried sick about what would happen if Dollyworld was allowed to continue to exist

            massive Orville spoilers

            I absolutely loved the political realignment at the end of season 3 that put the gay terfs and the space kkkristians together as villains against the alliance of The Union (of Space Socialist Republics) and Robot Haiti, the obvious good guys.

              That all wrapped up much better than I expected. I hate Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane’s other works for the most part, so the Orville was one hell of a surprise.

    There was a movie about this a while back. It was a pretty good sci-fi film. I think it was spanish language. He said in an interview that people somehow thought the telebracero thing from his movie was real and kept trying to talk to him about doing it for real. He could have been exaggerating, he was promoting a film, but I think that probably happened. If so that means there have been people thinking about this for a while
