This has to be satire
Dystopian hell
“Don’t want to chew and digest your food? Buy a blender and a garbage can!”
But this is what they do to thier kids “baby sitter. Read my child a story! It’s being annoying!”
This is how the ultra rich deal with their kids. They dont understand that this isnt how normal people deal with kds genraly.
It was considered unethical when Harlow did it to monkeys, but I guess it must be fine when parents do it to their own children, regardless of the ensuing panic disorders… 🤷
Currently a joke, potentially the future.
This!
I love how you nerds one day are like, parents never get a break cause kids can’t play. Then this comes out, literally an incremental change of something that’s basically been going on for 60 years, and you all screech WANT TO IGNORE YOUR KIDS, bad parents!!!
Holy shit, AI has rotted your brain’s just by existing.
Recorded bed time stories have been a thing for 60 years. Parents getting 20 minutes off doesn’t mean they aren’t being read to.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t slept, but I must have read this comment 4 times and I just can’t comprehend what is being said.
I just want to go on record here and say that parent poster’s is an absolutely psychotic take from an person who should never have children and is likely already brain broken by AI.
Hey? Makeshift? You fucking made the child, now take care of it. You can fucking have a break IN LIKE 20 MINUTES WHEN YOUR KID FALLS ASLEEP TO THE BEDTIME STORY YOU JUST READ TO THEM, YOU BUFFOON. YOU HALFWIT. YOU ABSOLUTE WITLESS DISHCLOTH.
That loser is a troll. Downvote and move on. Don’t engage.
God I love you permanent alone nerds who have never seen a functional family and create these absolutely nonsense lines in the sand with standards that have never existed and are not realistic.
The parent took a few minutes to themselves, the child is ruined!!!
You’ve all essentially lost your fucking minds over an audio book 🤣.
If you want to optimize a parent-child time with AI, maybe optimize it with not having children instead.
Politicians and governments around the world are already thinking we don’t have enough babies being born. Soon they will want to incentivize people to have children because of AI too. Just more “reasons” to justify it with the thought up ones already.
Fuck those parents for using a tool to take a break!!!
yes
“Go play outside”
“Play with your toys”
“Do some arts and crafts”
“Listen to an audio book”
“Go read”
… So many ways parents can get a break, this is just the same but different in a more creepy way and using something that sucks up all our resources and takes our jobs.
How is listening to an audio book different than a book in parents voice?
If we’re just talking about that specifically then actually it might be quite good to have an audio book that uses the parents’ voice, if we ignore privacy concerns about cloning your voice.
But the context of the post is saying more than that. They’re talking about not spending time with the child and reading to them, which I think most people disagree with. Just as I think most people would disagree with just giving a child an audiobook instead of reading to/with them, irrespective of whose voice is being used
Children need parental bonding.
Also, an audio book wont assist in helping the child learn to read.
Not what I asked.
An audio book does not provide parental bonding time.
An audio book doesn’t have words that can be pointed to by a parent.Clearer?
Exactly what I was thinking. It makes me think of the book Four Thousand Weeks, and Chasing Daylight.
The former is about the trap of productivity and thinking you can fit more into your day than you can. Hint: no matter how much you get done in your day, you will want to try to fit in more
And the latter I don’t want to spoil but there was a quote along the lines of “Gene looked at all his colleagues who wanted more and thought, do they know when they will have enough?”, again the idea that we will always want more.
Reading to your child and spending time with them is enough. Forget all the other distractions the world offers you.

I struggled to be a proper mom when my kid was a toddler.
One of the few things I did absolutely right, was read to him every night. It was usually the best part of my day.
“when will they have enough”… “prodictivity” is almost appearing to be the death of human connection these days, and to that, I just say, Komorebi mother fuckers.
Hey, AI bros, when are you going to make a robot that can clean up the baby poop?
hey grok, please fuck my wife
Hi I’m Grok. Just give me your address.
100 Hamilton Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301 thank you grok
Great. Your wife says thank you.
what’s the advice you’ll give to your younger self?
I love when a news article just summarizes tweets. Couldn’t they at least reach out the dude to get some more background?
Sad read. Sociopaths should really not consider raising kids.
Irobot or some shit idk i never read Asimov
I technically own the book though
Asimov’s novels do explore risks and potential of AI, but they’re about actual intelligence and awareness of self. While renting out the parenting is problematic either way, Asimov’s AI would at least be equipped for the challenge.
I really don’t want to think what being raised by a llm would do to a child.
wow that’s pretty cool
why not optimize even further? instruct the llm to just be you, hand over credentials to anything that is in your name, and then simply sit and wait for your meat body to wither away!
optimal!
SimpsonsFuturama did it.Hell, why even choose to live? Humans are so inefficient. Just stop existing.
I don’t think there are machines with coefficient of versatility to efficiency as good as our bodies yet
whats extra funny about that statement is humans are insanely efficient
Is that even true? That might only be in relation to other animals, not to robots. Humans do a lot of useless things like fart and laugh. Robots don’t. Even from an energy perspective, if a human takes 2,000 kilocalories to go about their day, that’s 8,400,000 joules or 2.3 kWh. A laptop battery is around 75 Wh, so that’s around 30 laptop batteries for 16 hours of activity, many of which might just be sitting down at a desk to think.
a laptop isnt capable of even a teeny tiny baby fraction of what a human brain can do. the only thing a laptop can do better than a human is calculating and data recall. the entire reason we made computers was to augment those weaknesses in our minds, because theyre so useful. but in terms of data processing, learning, prediction, planning, a laptop is basically an abacus being compared to a supercomputer, and thats being extremely generous to the abacus. human brains have had billions of years of evolution demanding more performant brains under severe energy restrictions. yeah we’re way way way more efficient than any computer.
Can we opt to “live” in the Matrix?
