… what
Yeah, so have a dead lady talk to no one, without asking her relatives if they mind hearing Great-Auntie promoting Instagram, while they’re doing the school drop off. They will not mind, they love OFF. Real estate agents are contacting this family like mad, as they are about to acquire a chain of radio stations.
Jesus Christ, what the hell are we doing…
Apparently we are trying to put mediums and psychics out of work.

Living out the last excesses of a broken system before it all falls apart
The radio station manager seems solely responsible, he needs Jesus Christ in his life. Perhaps a kick in the piroshkis.
As a note, as this story is about a Polish radio station the word you’d want to use is “pierogi” or “pierożki”, no “s” at the end either.
I intended to use the English plural of the Anglicized word for potato dumplings. The potato dumplings I mentioned are a metaphor for testicles.
I got the testicle part :P it’s just that “piroshkis” doesn’t sound Polish at all, and since we’re talking about Poland… Even “pierogis”, with its unnecessary “s” would be better.
Lister: “Rimmer, death isn’t the handicap it used to be in the olden days. It doesn’t screw your career up like it used to.”
Rimmer: “That’s what they say, Lister, but if you had two people coming for a job and one of them was dead, which one would you pick?”
Lister “It depends which is better qualified.”
Rimmer “Bullpats. When was the last time you saw a dead newsreader?”
Lister “Channel 27 had a hologram reading the news.”
Rimmer “Oh. Groovy, funky Channel 27. Big smegging deal. You livies hate us deadies.”
Oh. Groovy, funky Channel 27.
Quotes you can hear.
I thought this was the onion till I read the comments…
These would be 20-year-old Emilia Nowa, “a journalism student [and] pop culture expert,” who is “passionately following the latest trends in the world of cinema, music and fashion”; 22-year-old Jakub Zieliński, who’s studying Acoustic Engineering at AGH (a Kraków university); and rounding out the three was 23-year-old Alex, a former psychology student who is “socially engaged, passionately discussing topics related to identity [and] queer culture.”
Do people even ‘bond’ with characters who are totally fake? How can you be into their life and story and everything, when none of it is real? It’s different when you’re watching a cartoon or something. It’s objectively not trying to pretend to be human. This above feels gross.
Especially the last one, trying to recreate the identity of someone from a marginalised social group as an AI for the purpose of talking about its experience as if it is a real person is super gross.
Right?? What struggle did they face to come to terms with their sexuality or gender identity? It’s completely hollow.
Have you ever seen a movie or read a book?
It’s not the bonding part with fake characters that makes this weird. It’s pretending they are in any sense real.
