Considering the setting, it seems reasonable to expect that most of the people they visit in the real world would be employees of the company

[Frumple]

I have today noticed the existence of stunky, the pokemon with an ass for a face.

Cannot say day was improved

[Akura]

It gets better. Its evolution, Skuntank, its face looks like two asses pressed together.

Can we all agree bruxish is just.... bad, why is it so ugly and weird...

regrettably, that's mostly just because of nature.

I will never trust an AI without incredible restrictions with these as the example of the SMALLEST of precautions, set to automatically go off, with several over redundant remote activators if it so much as considers anything I MAY not like. Also I demand an activator set as a deadman switch:

Now if we could ever get to star trek, that'd be one thing I'd support, but I don't quite trust that happening, at all.

even that thing looks better, at least it doesn't have eyelashes and lips

Palossand is ridiculous.

So apparently they created a pokemon which is essentially an animated sand castle.

No facial or body features. Just a fucking sand castle.

I wonder what sound it makes.

Theres a bunch of object based ghost type pokemon too I believe.

It's probably one of those one-off pokemon that were meant to really only exist for one particular storyline.

[overseer05-15]

I like Palossand.

It's just a loop of Hayden Christensen whinging.

[scourge728]

All of that pokemons pokedex entries are horrifying such as "Buried beneath the castle are masses of dried-up bones from those whose vitality it has drained" and "Each of its grains of sand has its own will. Palossand eats small Pokémon and siphons away their vital essence while they're still alive. "

I find these statements baffling. Humans already hit other people with cars far, far more often than AIs do; it's completely provable that giving humans a manual override can only increase the amount of damage. I don't trust you with the power to override the AI's decisions with your faulty human brain, to be frank.

And I'm not sure why you think an EMP will save you. EMPs don't really work the same way they do on television, and, besides, basic radiation hardening is going to be an essential part of safety design for any of these systems - because an EMP caused by lightning or intentional sabotage could otherwise cause fatalities. So, again, your expectations are unacceptable in a real-world situation.

Look, Stephen Hawking was great at physics, but he wasn't an AI researcher and had no idea what he was talking about. Self-driving cars cannot "go skynet". And if you're worried about that then let me just say that you really wouldn't like some of the things I've been involved in developing, heh heh.

[scourge728]

I mean, they COULD go skynet, if someone programmed them horribly horribly wrong, so wrong in fact, that you would have to intentionally program them to do that...
