Dale's Glasses

--- Quote from: Oilman on 26 Jan 2015, 00:43 ---This is the core of the "racism" accusation, isn't it? The boss in question may have every good reason not to hire robots. His customers may not respond well to them, and it harms his business.

Let's replace the word "robots" in this passage with the word "blacks" or "Asians" or "Jews". Would that be OK? Does the prejudice of your customers make your racially discriminatory actions acceptable? Is racial discrimination perfectly fine as long as you do it for money? I answer "no" to all these questions.
If someone refused to hire me because I'm of Chinese descent, I would not hesitate to call him racist. His customers might be racists too, so that hiring me might harm his business, but that does not absolve him.

(Psst: Mods have already asked to go back to discussing the glasses...)
I think it's possible that the glasses that Dale has have evolved into a combination of what HoloLens and Google Glass are. Though it sounds like Virtual AI Companion isn't as popular as an actual IdoruPC would be.

I'm getting the distinct feeling that no one's reading anything I write, and I'm just talking to myself.

Nah, that's just the internet playing silly buggers with you. The people here are mostly awesome, but depending on the topic and how it's morphing, it can occasionally feel like you're shouting into an empty drum.

When I've repeated myself and still get ignored, it's hard to think otherwise.
