ok so I've got a furby now,
-
@Mayabotics @klara interestingly the 2023 redesign is very clear that there is no app involved, no internet connection is involved what soever, and the furby is very definitely not spying on you. so I think you are partially wrong, the target audience is someone who *does not* want an LLM in their home
@Mayabotics @klara imo they did a pretty good job at not hitting the uncanny valley with this guy.
-
@aeva I assume you're familiar with the midi furby organ?
-
@aeva does it feast from your dark fears or something?
@archiloque blessedly it hasn't woken up again since I took out its batteries

@Mayabotics @klara also consider I did put that on my wishlist, so you are talking shit about me right now whether or not you intended it

@Mayabotics @klara now, I'm sure your first instinct will be to reply "but aeva, you're different, the average person does not see a furby as a raw material for unhinged projects" a quick search on youtube says otherwise

@aeva @klara Oh good, I’m glad you already know about the unhinged projects. Also not surprised.
There’s a repeating exhibition of Furby art in Madison on Friday the 13th (at least, the most recent handful of them), which isn’t really big enough to justify a trip from Chicago by itself but would definitely be a highlight of a visit if you happen to have other reasons.
