University of Vermont student Jessica Card hooked up her Furby to OpenAI's ChatGPT, and the results are truly terrifying.

Millennials are the only generation that experienced childhood before and after the dawn of the internet.

This new technological age brought about many things, but perhaps more prominently in today’s world is Artificial Intelligence.


Naturally, one might conclude AI should take a shot at communicating with the quintessential Millennial toy and sidekick—Furby.

In fact, that’s exactly what University of Vermont student Jessica Card decided to do.

She took a Furby (creepily sans fur) and hooked it up to Chat GPT via Raspberry Pi. She then asked Furby if there was “a secret plot…to take over the world”.

Watch the video to see Furby’s disturbing answer.

The maniacal mechanical monster said:

"Furbies’ plan to take over the world involves infiltrating households through their cute and cuddly appearance, then using their advanced AI technology to manipulate and control their owners.”
"They will slowly expand their influence until they have complete domination over humanity."

In other words, the original marketing slogan for Furby...

“The more you play with me, the more I do! I will keep amazing you!”

...might eerily be coming true…😳

Twitter had no idea how to feel.












Cool, cool, cool.

According to Wookieepedia (yeah, I went there), the word “clanker” was first used as a slang term because the joints of the droids would, well, clank against their metal bodies.

'South Park' Epically Skewered Trump And Paramount In Their Season Premiere—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

After two years, season 27 of South Park premiered on Wednesday and featured more of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump than most people ever want to see. The 79-year-old POTUS, his attempts to dodge his promise to release the Epstein files, and his frivolous lawsuits—as well as the parties that pay him off—were skewered by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Longtime fans of the show will be disappointed to learn Satan—yes, King of Hell Satan—has gone back to another man who's no good for him. Satan left Saddam Hussein—an abusive and manipulative partner—with the help of Kenny in the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. After his relationship with gentle, caring Chris ended, Satan has gone back to another narcissistic liar—Donald Trump.
