Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

Agreed that there is a bit of exgaerated dread.. but honestly this has all the hallmarks of a monkey knife fight in an elevator, it's hard to imagine how this won't end in disaster

I'm just imagining a monkey knife fight in an elevator now... They are cartoon monkeys btw.

AI monkeys with knives and their fingers are truly scary to behold.

And you can't tell where the knife ends and the fingers^3^ begin.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

And they have the wrong number of fingers and knives.

I have no idea what a monkey knife is. Monkeys with knives... knives made of monkeys... pejorative... metaphorical...
