“Hey Ozzy, how do you feel about Sharon milking your memory for all it’s worth?”
undecipherable nonsense
My god. It's uncanny!
Worth remembering that this is a story about an AI company preying on the emotional vulnerability of an elderly widow.
Sharon was the brains behind Ozzy. Milking him for profit was why she was the real bread winner of the family. Ozzy would love it.
And their son, who should know better.
Nah bro she was always a money hungry piece of shit and ozzy was cool with that.
I suspect that it was this way because he knew exactly that he would have died long ago from his drug abuse if it weren't for her. That she was good at using him so they could pay their bills was just an extra.
Yeah I mean at that age she probably can't really tell the difference between this technology and any other, it's like something from the Sharper Image catalog or some shit. I guess I can see how older folks could get caught up in it. But you have to take a step back from the novelty sometimes.
If the AI can't do drugs, is he even a rock star? Can he trash a hotel room or bang questionably aged groupies?
they need a guy to periodically tase the server
I personally wish it was her milking it cynically. I’m more thinking the woman has a very difficult time letting go, and this is very unhealthy in nature.
Or she could be milking it. 🙃
