I only hope it happens after Elon royally fucks over the Republicans endorsing that Fat Ugly Bill

“We must come together to do something about this.”

Kinda late for that now. You should’ve come together months ago to NOT elect Trump as your president. He didn’t lie to you. He told you EXACTLY what he was going to do.

I hope you enjoy what you voted for.

The point is ALWAYS to save money. That’s what got us here in the first place

If it walks, talks, and violates human rights like a duck, I’m calling it a fucking duck.

ICE is the modern day Gestapo.

Not sure if that’s a negative thing in their eyes though.

Their version of a hellscape is one where straight white people arent treated as superior to everyone else.

I think it’s more accurate to say homophobic people have a mental illness

Following Moore’s Law, might end up being sooner than that

Serious question to your joke. What is all the animosity against Jews? Seems a lot of conspiracy theories put the blame on them, like they’re some sort of advanced alien race or something.

-Jewish Space Lasers -Jewish Weather Control -International Jewry and world domination

Hell, even South Park pokes fun at them. But why them and not any other religion? Is it rooted in the Holocaust and the propaganda Hitler used to justify his actions? Or does it stem from something prior?

It’s also weird to me that they are considered a race of people as well, instead of JUST a religion.

So what you’re saying is we should never make any scientific advancement until we make the world a paradise?

You know what would be at more effective, and just as realistic? Setting a limit that no one person or entity should have more than a half a billion dollars. The rest goes to charity to take care of all the problems we have now.

I hope it doesn’t, just because they’re trying to invent the wheel with their own Apple logo slapped onto it.

Pretty soon they’ll unveil their new Apple Connect modem or whatever. It’ll only connect to Apple Wi-Fi. Then after that, they’ll create their own Apple ISP, which will only work with Apple modems.

I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t put it passed them.

While I agree that there’s is always some sort of fear mongering with new tech as you said, I don’t think they compare to what we’re talking about. D&D is a tabletop game based on a magical world of various races, monsters, demons, etc. It’s also obviously just a game.

Video games, especially violent ones that are vilified by the media, are still obviously just games played on a screen. VR is getting closer to “real life”, but is still played on a headset, so there is still a divide between in-game and real life.

With sex bots, they are physical things that are made to look and act like real people. That separation between imagination and real-world isn’t there anymore. For all intents and purposes, once the bot is on and functional it is as close to a real person as technology can create. Now, this tech is not yet a reality. But I foresee that future in the next few years.

The biggest danger with allowing people to do whatever they want to a sex bot is that it has the possibility to encourage dangerous behavior in some people to the point where they are comfortable doing it to a real person. Especially as these bots get more and more life-like, from appearances to LLM conversations. Rape fantasies, abuse, etc, are all on the table when no one is around. Now of course, this is an extreme hypothetical, but there are people out there who are not-right in the head and will do this sort of stuff.

The other part of it is, what’s to stop a business selling life-like sex bots of people who never agreed to that, like big celebrities and social media stars? Sex sells and it’ll be a reality way before regulations are put in to stop it from happening. And even when a government prohibits it, there’s always the black market.

It’s not even a matter of IF this will happen. It’s a matter of when, and how we will deal with it.

And while I say all this, I DO believe people should have the right to do whatever they want to their property, in the safety and privacy of their own home. I’m not saying people should not be allowed to buy themselves really fancy sex dolls. For some, it can really be the only way to help with one of the most instinctual needs a human has. Especially in the disabled/disfigured communities, having a way to release that sexual frustration improves their mental well-being.

But as technology continues to evolve, we have to take into account so the different forms it takes, both the beneficial and the ugly.

Oh no! Won’t someone think of the shareholders?!

Honestly, if a product last forever I wouldn’t mind it on a subscription model. The company needs to make money in order to, at the minimum, continue supporting the product.

Then comes the costs of support staff, R&D for future product developments, etc etc.

That price should not include massive yearly bonuses for the top execs.

I like how it’s a digital picture of a physical pin, so it still has the bits in the back as if anyone can just put it on their lapel or backpack.

This has the opportunity to be a great battle.

Harris, backed by Mastodon users vs Trump, backed by Twitter bots.

I myself am an omni, but I don’t judge others if they like prefer something different.

I’m pretty sure some of those fancy restaurants that pop up everywhere already do this. They’ll put bacon on anything

They just don’t want the world to see how little people like them now
