I had to double-check it was the Onion. Thank god.

So they went from psychological warfare to just warfare.

Yes, it goes in the square hole

Q: What happens to your commitment to child safety?

Fisher-Price has, for nearly a century, ensured that no toy contained a small part that could be swallowed by a child under three years of age. We are pleased to report that our autonomous weapons systems do not contain small parts.

I've got my AI powered all birds, and a sweet AI powered red and yellow tank from fisher price with googly eyes on it

Going from "Speak and Spell" to "Bring the Rain" is a choice I guess.

Yeah yeah. I know it's an onion article. I know. I saw.

After yesterdays post about the environmental shoe company switching to an ai data center model, I didn't even blink twice at this.

That's where we are now. I read that fischer price is becoming an ai weapons producer, and my immediate response was a shrug. Like "Yeah, sure. That may as well happen."
