    I can only imagine how insidious this is going to turn in the future. People will undoubtedly use this technology to violate humans in ways we have never even thought of.

    Allowing a corporation to control the only thing that person feels love for is a recipe for disaster.

    People need connections with other people. This is the antitheses to this need.

    If that AI companion isn’t on your own hardware, it will likely require a subscription eventually. And running an AI agent yourself isn’t cheap.

    Young people are reporting epidemic levels of loneliness, and some are turning to technology to fill the void.

    Bruh, technology is causing the void. People are increasingly using technology to replace human interaction, rather than to cultivate it.

      Social media was a mistake.

      And yes, I’m aware of the irony as I use social media to say so. I do not apologize.

        I’m not so sure. Facebook was a great tool to create local communities at first. Then it became greedy and changed the algorithm for ads and being attention driven. If you remove facebook (which I don’t use since months), it’s harder to find what’s new around you, and get out to cool events. Especially on the countryside.

          That’s precisely why it was a mistake. People did those things before Facebook, but now? So many people have no clue how to exist without it, and all the while, it’s weaponized against people’s ignorance by bad actors who are greedy for power and money.

          Hell, we’ve had to create decentralized tools just to get some of our agency back. And yet, even knowing that their data is fodder for those same bad actors, people still flock to those previous systems like Facebook, TikTok, Xitter, and Instagram.

          Social media isn’t a mistake because social media is inherently bad. It’s a mistake, because humans in general are too stupid to protect themselves.

    Teenagers aren’t stupid. They’re playing around and masturbating. They know it’s not real and they still want to touch each other.

    Call me when sexbots are here.

    Everybody thinking they can do better, so there’s a sense of entitlement from both sexes.

    Also one bad trait is overshadowing all the good traits, hence the stand off, and the constant complaints on social media.

    As someone who is shit with dealing with relationships, I get the appeal, I really do.

    Problem is we don’t have a Lucy Liubot yet, so we are yet again let down by our poor quality technology.

      So if you get a bot companion… it’s perfect and it loves you unconditionally as much as a robot can but eventually you get bored and decide to upgrade… proving you were the shallow one all along.

      Or maybe it proves no one actually believes that’s love which means they will never be truly fulfilled with a artificial replacement.

      I’m on the contrary attracted to things real and natural with all their hardship.

      So-o I’m too much hardship for those I’m trying to approach romantically. Also lack willpower. And normies’ ideas of detectable bravery, kindness, persistence, sense of humor, creativity and other good qualities are really far from my personality. Those who know me long say good things (not sure how sincere). But relationships are about trial and error, and trial is usually not long enough to reach the stage where I’m not deemed an error. EDIT: And sometimes they do, but in those cases I am.

      And frankly I’m confused and panic when I encounter that real and natural, like a really good sewing machine from 70s which is probably still operational (I’ve noticed one lever lacking, but it’s used rarely and can be replaced with a screwdriver), but cleaning it from cockroach shit looks like a gigantic undertaking. I’d strongly prefer to just turn it on. But then I’d still have to clean it even if nothing tears, burns or gets jammed, and before that I’ll enjoy the smell of heated cockroach shit.

      OK, that’s offtopic, just a real human, from common sense, should be a much more complicated matter than cockroach shit in a mechanism which is mostly fine (with good manuals, and a high-end machine produced in the olden days before planned obsolescence and when functionality mirrored ability).
