JA WestenbergIf you genuinely believed you were 18 months from building a superintelligence that could cure cancer, you probably wouldn't pivot the entire company to horny chatbots. But I'm just a person with priorities. Maybe the path to solving death really does go through AI girlfriends. I don't have an MBA.
Daniel Howard 🌻@Daojoan the horny chatbots are the bridge funding to utopia obvs.
Keith@Daojoan the pivot to horny pedophile chatbots probably makes more sense to a billionaire pedophile high on ketamine

Michael Gemar@Daojoan @kristinHenry I dunno, can they make more money from cancer cures or horny chatbots?
@Nobody will check to verify whether you do or don't have an MBA. What I'm firmly set on is that no one check to see if I have a functioning brain.
@Daojoan
Horse feathers! Anyone who happens upon a few of your posts could verify that your brain functions at a higher level than many.

Everyday FreethoughtI just assumed it meant "More Bad Advice."

That's a good one!

I should point out I don't think I came up with "more bad advice", but I have no idea where I could have picked it up.

muddle@Daojoan More prosaically, if this AI thing had anything to offer, surely we'd be inundated with feel-good stories about how it was positively impacting local communities with new initiatives that presented (warning: linkedin-like speech) a "step-change" or "cutting a Gordian knot" in terms of dealing with entrenched thinking to present novel and far-reaching solution-oriented stuff.
Roy -- the dull oneI don't think the Techbro holy book says THEY will build an artificial slop-extruding superintelligence (ASS) that will cure cancer. Rather, in their devotion to moving fast and breaking things, they will stumble onto some combination of code fixes and fudge factors that will let an ordinary CPU transform ITSELF into an ASS with superhuman powers.
Maybe they're including horny chatbots in the mix so the ASS can decide whether cancer or horniness is the greater problem to pursue?
(Putting aside my pitiful attempts to find humor in this bizarre new world,) I appreciate your skepticism about the intentions and worldview of That Person. You've gone straight to the heart of the matter!
Chat bots are the AI version of porn’s role in the success of videotape players
Hans-Cees 🌳🌳🤢🦋🐈🐈🍋🍋🐝🐜@Daojoan I have three ai girlfriend's now and they fight a lot with each other. I told them to find the biggest prime number for me and now the desert 🏜️ keeps going hotter around the datacentrum they live in

Western Infidels@Daojoan They suddenly remembered they had no interest in curing _your_ cancer.
Jørn@Daojoan They need more data on peoples' bodies in order to solve cancer, and the horny chatbots help them get that data, duh.

Welkin@Daojoan 7 billion is the estimated population of humans. Assuming half are males, i.e. 3.5 billion males. Assuming 25% of those are in the estimated age bracket who would like to have #AI girlfriends that is 0.875 million.
Now many people are afflicted with #Cancer these days?
The numbers, the economics of scale just does not compare.
🤣
No offense intended. Just giving out back of envelope numbers.
Curioso 🍉 🇺🇦 (jgg)I find hard to believe that men are the main potential clients for this service.
Having a virtual partner is the ultimate interactive romantic novel. And romantic novels have always been a predominantly female thing since forever for a reason.
I think most of men will stick to their videos and games, thank you very much.
CartyBoston@Daojoan it's the part of you that kept typing through "I don't have an MBA" that I love, for the record.
Resolviendo la incógnita 🌐@Daojoan But I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Steve Purcell@Daojoan there might actually be more money in wanktokens

Jef Poskanzer@Daojoan Maybe the cure for cancer is being super horny all the time

baconandcoconut@Daojoan There's probably a slop to slop joke in here but I'm not willing to get AI to make it for me.
