Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

They already do, theres fucking machines and vibrators and teledildonics.
Yeah, the whole "sex robot" thing is kneecapped by the simple fact that very few people want a person sized sex toy to have to shove in a closet when most people can take care of most of their needs with stuff that takes up the space of a shoebox.
Plenty of edge cases of course, but those don't make the ubiquitous sex robot future that most of these sorts of headlines envision. Plus, VR headsets and multi axis mounted fleshlights still mean you don't need a full humanoid robot.
"Oh hey cool robot ar-" :D :|
The world was not quite ready for the FleshLathe.
The DogRaw-er
I threw away my Fleshlight after a handful of uses because it wasn’t worth the hassle of cleaning and maintenance. Imagine what you’d have to do to a full fledged fuckbot to keep it sanitary. I also didn’t like the idea of dying in a car accident or whatever and having my mother find my fake vagina under the bed. This would again be even sadder as a fuckbot.
I can get by with lube and my imagination for masturbatory needs if I have to but will go as far as a VR headset for immersive porn. Anything beyond that is too much unless somebody invents the Holodeck/Matrix while my dick continues to work which is unlikely. Sexbot is a hard pass.
I'd assume in the fuckbot fantasy it cleans itself, and folds your laundry, and tells you did a good job. And hell, it also flies, fights aliens, makes fuck everybody money, and can go faster than the speed of light.
also reminds you about upcoming meetings and gives a weather summary
If it can do my chores and give a decent back massage as well I'd be more inclined to consider it.
That's why they need to understand voice commands so you can tell them to hide themselves.
Hey Pornhub... what... uhhh... what is teledildonics?
It's when you combine sex toys with remote control, typically over the internet.
Applications include obvious things such as synchronizing a vibrator to the action in an adult video to enhance immersion, kinky play like letting a partner or audience member control a tactically placed vibe, or even humorously creative stuff like using an artificial vagina as a video game controller. There is some quite interesting and fun work being done in the area, such as the Buttplug protocol.
Based on your username you might already be familiar with all this, though.
I was just disappointed to see not that much teledildonics in pornhub
but do they have chatGPT? huh? huh??
