Jesus, I had to do a double take because I thought the stick person had somehow trapped a little human inside a pod for their entertainment and I was so confused.
Do you really own it though? Is it fully local? Or is it based on some online slop-as-a-service provider who might kill your girlfriend at any given moment?
No thank you, I like my women flesh and blood. Or if technology gets way better than I expect it to in my lifetime: thinking feeling beings capable of choosing to leave with soft bits.

I’m still confused. What is the little pod and detritus around it supposed to represent?
I get the broken piggy-bank (and hammer?), not sure what else is going on…

Haha, holy crap. Hadn’t seen that. Thankyou.
Razer releasing a holo-wife is not a thing I ever imagined.

You don’t need to read further to find out. Ed Zitron attended and called it the “Anti-Consumer Electronics Show”.
That formulation is by the journalist, I just copied the headline.
Nice
Can’t believe they let him in

Fuck this shit is sad
So youbare holding out for the physical Terminator version.
I’ll respect AI girlfriends when they’re self cleaning, same as real girlfriends
Like a UV system in the mouth?
I was thinking soap and water but if you’re nasty like that sure
Flesh and blood women taste better.
Yeah, but digital ones are byte size
Thank God, I thought it was analogue to the pony in a jar meme.
Thanks for the context. I figured the comic was just ai slop itself…
It would be pretty sick if I could shove a Cortana into it tho…
and my dumb ass thought it was a phone
I remember seeing a recent Kickstarter that has a sort of holographic AI friend in a “container” like that, and it reached funding far past its goal.
There’s also this thing by Razer
Fucking gamers…
I got the holo-waifu, but not the broken piggy bank, I thought it was a bong
I think it represents a phone.
I thought it was a verification can.
I thought it was an homunculus.
Maybe I’m not awake enough yet but I’m still not seeing anything other than tiny human in a pod
