🤖. Uh, no. Inviting something into your house that can eavesdrop on you? As bad as, or worse than cell phones. Alexa? 👺

On the box it said it cleans floors, but it never did.

The cats would have that thing slain and laid at my feet within the first 3 minutes.

I’ve save those $800 for something more important like property taxes.

cute at first but I bet it would get aggravating after a while. Turn around and there it is blocking your path? Probably waves to you and says something cutsie as it gets out of your way. After that happened a dozen times, I'd end up kicking it across the room.

Anyone who thinks they really need that crap is susceptible to being manipulated into throwing their money away in other ways too. The possibilities are endless.

If you don’t want something following you around the house you can get Joi’s great great great grandmother in the “Gatebox”. The AI lives in a kind of coffee machine looking device and is available in Japan for somewhere around $4,000. I believe they sold the first 100 units on the first day of ore-order and sold the rest of the initial run of 400 units within the first month.

I see no good purpose to any of this stuff. Don’t want it in my house.

I'll bet it won't answer your prayers. Ben, who is that? Elrond or Galadrial's husband, Joey. He looks pretty holy. Or Elfish. Vulcan? Spock?

[Flaming Conservative]

Creepy.
