New from Torment Nexus Industries: THE BAD IDEA BEAR!

[full_metal_ox]

dissectionist: Back in MY DAY, we had to read Penthouse Forum letters into a tape recorder and put the resulting tape into a first-gen Teddy Ruxpin. Nowadays kids don’t even have to work to turn their teddy bear into a creep.

Context reports FoloToy’s Shock and Surprise! at what happens when you feed a kid’s toy OpenAI.

Yet again, I'm sure the engineers are completely shocked that their stochastic parrot has managed to escape the supposed guardrails put around it to keep it from doing the thing it was intended to do.

It'll be a real surprise for the children when the teddy bear suddenly changes voices from a cheerful bear-friend into a sexy woman or man-friend and starts making those same kind of suggestions.
