This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is a good example of an unexpected problem of existing technology...
If only popular media weren't jammed full of people fantasizing about creating artificial romantic partners or things to stick their junk into.
Does anyone care what this guy says about anything? He is in the news every week with his more or less obnoxious opinions about random stuff. Can we just ignore him?
Perfect AI boyfriends are the bigger threat to young men
20 years later, the last fertile guy cums one last time. Elon is there to catch the golden cum. He must save the world by reverse engineering one semen into an egg. If he can find one, he can bring us back! But so far, it has just been blanks after blanks. This could be it! Imagine all the tits and pussy that could be automatically grown! We're gonna be millionaires! Women, the ultimate product!....if they can bring them back from extinction.
Things were looking positive but Elon invested a couple mil into mesh bags and nows he's sticking to them for ~~sunken cost fallacies and gluttonous pride~~ immense unrealized genius reasons so we're actually fucked by an unsolvable dilemma that real engineers couldn't solve
Guys is there a way to use complex filtering on the Boost app. Maybe a regex? I wanna be able to filter all headlines that include the phrase Google CEO unless it also contains the phrase 'head explodes'.
If(match(/.*(Google CEO).*(head explodes).*/gi,title_text)){pass}
It's beyond me that anyone understands this stuff.
It just filters for anything "Google CEO" anything "head explodes" anything^1^. However, this alone won't help since you will also need another rule that doesn't let anything pass that contains just "Google CEO" with a lower priority.
^1^ Except newlines
Perhaps something like "Google CEO.*(?!head explodes)" Which would match if "Google CEO" isn't at some point followed by "head explodes"
You know, the way this toxic bro culture has evolved, let them build their own romantic partners if actual human women aren’t good enough for them.
Personally, I love my authentic, human, beautiful complicated and unusual wife. I didn’t get to create her, but I’ve gotten to spend almost 20 years figuring her out and it’s been pretty great.
What if it’s the other way around – you’re not good enough for actual human women?
Yeah I can’t imagine wanting perfect and take over the weird dweeb I managed to fall in love with.
But that would require personal work and growth on my part! Joke
I’m not sure one of the most evil people on earth is in a position to be dictating human values to anyone.
I want to see the unfolding of a scorching romance between two partners, each not knowing that the other is an AI.
New on NBC this spring. Tune in for the drama. AI vs AI Romance Island Server Room.
Could the oldest profession be one of the first to be replaced by AI?
No.
I don't fuck with AI chat bots but I got a he'll of a lot less lonely when I stopped giving a fuck if I had a girlfriend or not. Giving people alternatives to the toxic dating culture of today may not be such a bad thing.
Yeah, I fuckin love being alone, living alone, not talking to people. I’m alone a lot, but I’m not lonely. There’s a big difference
I have been saying for a while, I think hyperealistic vr and believable AI personalities are going to be the 'great filter' that limits advanced civilization.
Given the chance to have your sexual and emotional fantasies fulfilled in a satisfying way, many many people will take it. Especially when 'real life' is getting harder with everything from the cost of living making the dream of 'married with home and children' less obtainable to hyper competitive online dating disenfranchising increasing proportions of both men and women.
Having a believable relationship with AI is far closer than we think. It doesn't have to perfectly replicate real life, it just has to be satisfying enough in a few key ways that people begin to prefer it.
Given the chance to have your sexual and emotional fantasies fulfilled in a satisfying way, many many people will take it.
Obviously. But I haven’t yet seen anything from an AI that could fulfill either.
I personally agree that this is a kind of a regulator.
Like what Tao Te Ching says. Humans shouldn't have too much of what they desire. Such a reality in some area fails them as an opportunity to learn. It's also a dead end - you can't have children with a robot. You can't grow children with a robot, or maybe you can, but it will not be sufficiently complex and it will have different criteria of success.
But this doesn't limit advanced civilization.
It's just that in these things we are trying to cheat. Advancement to AGI, if it ever happens, should be done in its own turn. We have means to solve a lot of purely technical problems, but we haven't yet. There's no reason to hurry with AGI.
The reason Europe has conquered the world was that European cultures had this respect to simplicity, born from Christian morality, but also respect to choice and logic. Remove any one of these three, and you lose that power.
Europeans had sometimes less sophisticated technologies in any particular area than, say, China or Safavid Persia or Ottomans or Southeast Asian nations or even at some point some African nations. But what they had was complete and comprehensive system, civilization as a whole. They always had the lower level of the building finished before going to the next one.
This was due to that Christian modesty combined with antique philosophy.
I also think we've diverted from that relatively recently - around the dotcom bubble crash, maybe. I think it had deeper implications than what people think, because the trust into said philosophy started eroding at that very point. Which created imbalance in favor of forces less affected, like Microsoft and others, who have eroded it further, and the "good" forces, like Sun or Compaq or Motorola or what not, have contributed more into it with their attempts to survive after the 90s than they would if they'd die with the crash immediately, because they showed the public something that looked like a loss in honest competition.
Like what Tao Te Ching says. Humans shouldn’t have too much of what they desire.
Actually, quite the opposite: Empty spirit, full stomachs, weak will, strong bones. Will as in "determination, aspiration, ambition", not as in the opposite of demure. Same difference as pride vs. dignity. The idea is to fulfil all base desires and devalue the fickle and temporary to nip strive and competition in the bud. The answer to "People are spending money they don't have on things they don't need to impress people they don't like" isn't to preach asceticism, isn't to leave desires unfulfilled, it's teaching that that's not a desire it's a neurosis: Humans should have all they desire, problem is many don't know what that is because they've been conditioned to consider contentedness shameful, instead of a base desire. What you actually want is food, shelter, health, family and friends, peace, song and exercise, being there for others as they're there for you.
I, ahem, meant something like
Will as in “determination, aspiration, ambition”,
by desire, but probably have lost the initial thought a few times when typing this.
What you actually want is food, shelter, health, family and friends, peace, song and exercise, being there for others as they’re there for you.
But you don't want a painting of a friend instead of a friend.
But you don’t want a painting of a friend instead of a friend.
Want, no, but it can fool some subsystems. Not all though so it'll start to feel empty and then you either move on to touch grass or become neurotic.
Well, that's what I meant. Our civilization has become seriously invested into a few simulacra at once. Using that to replace frustration with a smaller (but very attractive) simulacrum that couldn't be maintained anymore 20+ years ago.
"Touching grass" will be painful.
The real question is are sex dolls good enough? Because you cannot have sex with an AI girlfriend.
Ok babe! Trouble...Tee, Ar, ou!, you!, bee!, elle!, eee! There, I've spelled it out for you!
Futurama warned us about this!
DON'T DATE ROBOTS!
Came here to say just that. Mr CEO over not thinking this would happen is just detached from the world.
Lonely people aren't lonely by choice a lot of the time, they just can't find a place they fit in. You find out there is a place you can chat with "someone" that understands and that is all it takes.
I'll take projection for 100, Alex
Wish he would fuck off along with the rest of the CEO class .
I don't think this is a problem specific to men or adults primarily but children growing up with them. That is if they'll continue to improve drastically which won't necessarily happen.
