So a robot sold by a Realbotix, a Sex Bot manufacturer, which is owned by Tokens.com, a digital asset/crypto grift which was recently bought by the shambling corpse of Bed Bath and Beyond.

What an insane thing for a school board to purchase, and really I gotta wonder who knows who over there for this to have happened at all.

Next week's news:

NYC teenager in hospital after attempting to have sex with his school's robot

The robot, though manufactured by a sex doll manufacturer, was not designed for sexual interactions. The school, various signs around the robot, and several of the student's friends warned him it was not designed for sexual interaction. One was reported to have yelled. 'You gonna shred your dick. Not in a good way.' Another was heard to shout, 'You're going to die, you fucktard.' However, undaunted, the student was reported to have said, 'I don't care if I die. At least I won't die a virgin,' and then proceeded with his plan. The student's parent, when approached for comment, said, 'God fucking damn it. My boy's gonna die a virgin, and I'm not getting no grandkids.'

I'm sure they'll figure out how to get this thing to perform oral sex on a banana, some kid will post a video on social media, and we'll see it on a bunch of news sites afterwards.

The problem solves itself. This is just Microsoft Tay in physical form.

Fredselfish@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 29d

They literally purchased a sex doll? What the fuck wrong with the school and fucking company for thinking this what is wanted in schools.

But also that one ugly sex doll. More like something you find in a horror movie.

Your children aren't worth teaching well. This is the reps we keep electing, the companies we keep empowering and the leaders we let lead. They no longer think we deserve to be invested in because they don't need us to know things anymore.
