Just wait until AI “partners” are a thing. Person: Honey, can you cook for me? AI: Sure thing. [proceeds to add highly toxic ingredients into the food]
ChatGPT is allowed, but chocolate eggs with toys inside are supposed to be too dangerous? 🤔
I am literally just making this up on the spot and have no evidence for it, but I’m starting to wonder if maybe the real reason for the kinder egg ban was anticompetitive lobbying by Hershey or something like that, and the toy thing was just the excuse.
The american law prohibiting objects in food predates the kinder eggs by decades. And it’s because people use to put all kinds of shit in american food. The law that bans them into is the Food, Drug and Cosmetic act of 1938.
Then how did we have toys in cereal boxes and cracker jacks up until much more recently?
Because it’s not inside the food itself.
Huh, okay. I’m assuming there was another law that caused those to get yanked as well?
No godamn idea. I don’t have to worry about that law and I don’t know what exemption they used. I know it exists, why, and that kinder eggs are prohibited due to this law.
Wouldn’t Kinder Surprise me at all.
It wasnt the “toy thing” theres a law about putting inedible choking hazards in food. The food drug and cosmetic act of 1938. It bans putting any toy or inedible object in candy unless it is a functional part of the food. So the capsule in the kinder egg isnt ok but the wooden stick in a popsicle, the stick of a lollypop or the ring of a ring pop is.
So, they could put a lollipop-shaped stick into a kinder-egg, to function as a handle? Then the toy could be inside the ball in the end of the handle, so that it wouldn’t actually be inside the food, but a part of the handle, which would be a functional part of the food?
In all fairness, the guy was a fuckin’ idiot before Jippity tested a latent murder-sim theory it’s been puzzling over.
Both are dumbasses swallowing anything
An early AI was once asked, “Bob has a headache. What should Bob do?” And the AI replied, “Bob should cut off his own head.”
The point being: AIs will give you logical solutions to your problems but they won’t always give you practical ones.
That’s a misconception how LLMs work. It is how SF-authors imagined AI would work.
LLMs won’t give you logical solutions to your problems — they’ll give you the essence of the data they were fed with that are statistically likely to be associated with the words you used to prompt them. And since they are usually trained on the enshittified internet, well, you get what you paid for.

So Robert Fucken Kennedy Jr will be all over this one shortly. Expect more psychosis I guess…
We’re too stupid as a race to survive…
I mean, we have a pretty significant portion of the populace being told almost on the daily that the sooner that they stop breathing, the sooner they get to join the cosmic orgy.
That’s the part I don’t understand, it specifically isn’t even an orgy! So why join???
If things like this keep happening that problem might solve itself.

Yikes. Imagine if he could sue for that.
