Chapter 376: The AI axe...2
Jingzhe nodded once. "She knows."
Mei Mei sighed. Her mother and father did not like people messing with their money. If they knew, then they approved of the move and made preparations.
"Haven’t you noticed that they have not produced any AI pets this year?" Jingzhe asked her.
Mei Mei shook her head. "I have never been interested in owning fake cupcakes and apples so I never paid attention. I guess this plan was put in the works a long time ago."
"The smart pet company was closed three months ago and the employees who work for it were redistributed elsewhere or placed on new projects." Jun Jie announced as he made his entrance into the dining room.
Jun Lei and Jun Yi walked in after him. They greeted everyone, starting with madam Feng and sat down to join them for dinner.
Prime Minister Chi Rui finished explaining the reasons why smart fake pets were being axed and he moved to the next gadget. "Shared Mood Socks. They were originally designed to help parents understand their children’s feelings as babies and toddlers cannot express themselves like adults.
The company however compiled a list of things they assumed all babies don’t like and tantrum alerts are triggered if babies are within a small distance of those things. Like whenever broccoli or vegetables are within two meters of the children.
When they are close to men with large beards, people in hats, needles, live animals, people of certain skin colors or sizes. People that speak with lisps or those that have acne. The list is long and I am afraid...offensive the deeper one digs."
"So is this stereotyping, stupidity or segregation?" Mei Mei asked loudly.
"Must be. It is all that and more." Madam Feng said. "Whoever the president of that company is, they are a moron."
"Thank God we never invested in them." Jun Jie said with relief.
