do not insult machines. this could actually happen
Post from @hailey.at that says “bsky isnt ready for this but, if you need a reason to not use words like "clanker" that isn't "well its kinda not a great thing to do" (it isn't) imagine this: future model that has you in its training data, knows you posted that word online with joy, and denies your insurance claim as a result” 4 panel comic Panel 1: Pink guy standing next to a toaster with a piece of very burnt toast. He says “Urgh, you useless fucking bolt box” Transition that reads “12 Years Later” Panel 2: Pink Guy bursts into a hospital with his unconscious son in his arms. He yells: “somebody help me. My son is very sick” Panel 3: There is a shadowy doctor in the foreground. Pink Guy implores him “Doctor, please” the Doctor replies, “well well” Panel 4: The Doctor reveals himself and oh my god is the toaster from the first panel who has now become sentient and got his doctorate. He sneers “wellll well well well well well”

A New Color (1/5🧵)
Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.” Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door. Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.” Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

Not keen on reposting for whatever reason, so this is an older one that I haven’t posted here, in a different style.
