Oh shit, AI is evolving by natural selection. There’s a feedback loop of how people interact and training the data.
prediction: right wing hysteria claiming the chatgpt toys are turning the kids gay/trans and/or the actual cause of school shootings.
You think there are mental health problems now? The more AI takes people’s jobs, the worse mental health problems we’ll see.
I still remember when computers took everyone’s jobs. Suprised there are any left.
Was this before or after the robots that took everybody’s jobs?
The great water wars opened up a lot of jobs. I was a blood bag for a while, good dental plan but worked outdoors way too often.
that one horrifying movie where action figures and dolls come to life rings a bell.
The Indian in the cupboard? But I don’t remember if he was a toy or not.
Toy Story? You were afraid of Toy Story?
I think he’s talking about Small Soldiers.
There’s also Child’s Play. Honestly it’s an entire trope.
Finally, a subject I know about! I have watched a lot of really bad movies over the years. Many of them included that particular trope.
Demonic Toys. Puppet Master (sort of). M3gan. Annabelle (I guess, I didn’t see this one on moral grounds). Dolls. One of the Krampus movies. If you’re willing to stretch your meaning of the word toy there’s also The Hug. The Goosebumps TV show had a puppet. Loads of others.
Can’t forget Talking Tina all the way back in the Twilight Zone days.
What were moral reasons for avoiding annabelle? I never heard about the movie until your comment.
It’s loosely based on the lies of grifters Ed and Lorraine Warren. I have a strong aversion to anything dealing with them.
To be fair, I watched The Conjuring before I knew about their connection and didn’t like it. It wasn’t my style and I can’t imagine the other films in that universe are either. And I don’t judge others for not caring that they were involved, especially since they’re both dead now.
my people!
My buddy searched for a specific horror movie for years that he only saw a piece of when he was a kid. I watched a bunch as a teen, then we were in the Navy together he hosted bad movie day where a bunch of us would get together and watch 3 or 4 depending on the length of the movies. Worst movie that week won. 90% or more were horror.
Those were good times. He introduced me to Troma, The Granny, a bunch of movies with evil toys, weird shit you can’t tell people you watched without them looking at you like you might be a murderer, Killer Klown and tomatoes, and nearly every off brand slasher the 80s had to offer. I’ve kept watching ever since.
And I have no idea if he found out what the movie was. He hadn’t by the time we stopped doing movie day.
How dare you call Puppet Master a bad movie.
also my people
I stand by the fact that it’s a bad movie and that I love it. And the majority of the sequels. And the Demonic Toys crossover movie.
If you don’t believe it’s a bad movie then all I have to say is that I support your right to feel that way.
I figured, but then I thought about how his description was basically Toy Story too.
yea as @deadtom@lemmy.world said, Small Soldiers. Its quite the nightmare fuel for me.
maybe Small Soldiers lol
The lord of the rings? You were afraid of the LOTR?
Hey a buck is a buck, why do you hate America?
