Hey, there's a new government program to provide care for dementia patients. I should found a company to make myself a middleman for all those sweet Medicare bucks. All I need is a nice, friendly but smart sounding name. Oh, that's it! I'll call it Frenology!

I wrote down some theorems and looked at them through a microscope and actually discovered the objectively correct solution to ethics. I won't tell you what it is because science should be kept secret (and I could prove it but shouldn't and won't).

The headline is a bit of a crash blossom, but if you read the article, the comments in this thread, or even the title itself carefully enough, you should be able to parse it. If not, I'll help:

A startup company named "11x", whose business model is AI sales, claims to have customers for its software (which incidentally doesn't work), who in fact are not their customers.

This is not funny. My best friend died of whatever. If y'all didn't hate saltman so much maybe he'd still be here with us.

I know the GNU Infant Manipulation Program can be a little unintuitive and clunky sometimes, but it is quite powerful when you get used to it. Also why does everyone always look at me weird when I say that?

Surely not, their whole dev team is made of 11x programmers!

It's when you combine sex toys with remote control, typically over the internet.

Applications include obvious things such as synchronizing a vibrator to the action in an adult video to enhance immersion, kinky play like letting a partner or audience member control a tactically placed vibe, or even humorously creative stuff like using an artificial vagina as a video game controller. There is some quite interesting and fun work being done in the area, such as the Buttplug protocol.

Based on your username you might already be familiar with all this, though.

Can we make "low-background media" a thing?

The world was not quite ready for the FleshLathe.
