lol at a billionaire being soooo obessed with a god drat pocket sized computer and the dopamine hits of shitposting and a lovely mobile app chat bot. oh and his muskrat stans and their pathetic groveling.

also going by an npr bit, catfishing scams and some cybercrimes are run by criminal orgs that have re-invented corp. structure/hierarchies. "departments" specialize in different parts of the scam* and daily quotas. also just like those anti scammer videos, there's a bunch of women that try to string along scammers as long as possible so they dont get real vics or as little money as possible.

Unlike the printer story Baltar did pretty much gently caress constantly.

We have this constant national discussion of the crisis of cis male loneliness, inability of developing meaningful emotional friendships with other men and then an open "debate" over if gay men are allowed to participate in society and spread their toxic homosexuality everywhere where they act all gay and poo poo by openly expressing themselves in "safe spaces" by teaching kids things like it is OK if you want to wear a dress and you shouldn't be beaten to death over it.

Homophobia and transphobia is killing cis straight men too.

There are like zero male presenting AI love robots depicted or talked about, there is never fear that cis women will just be completely unable to find some way to conceive a child, zero suggestion that this will be absolutely devastating to the gay male community because all men will just be irresistibly attract to AI companions.

Apparently straight men will be the only casualties in this AI love travesty.

If you delve into the subject any deeper than just the Twitter screenshots posted here, you'll see that the demand for husbandos is very real and women are a sizeable segment of the chatbot userbase.

Ladies have figured out fictional romances long before men. Romance novels and the such.

There also visual novels games. I know a girl who obsessively plays and replays a mobile game that's like an ongoing story where you're at a magic school with a revolving door cast of boy MAGICAL BOIS for you to hold hands with and maybe smooch or see with their shirt off.

I think the reason incels are getting boners for ai women is that - they just want to see booba or stick their wee-wees in a warm hole. Doesn't matter if it's synthetic or not.

Sexbots for women, cis or no, would probably have to be a little more sophisticated than a digital fuckdoll. I would except a little narrative, you know romance and stuff.

Still, no mater what gender or orientation you are, there's a lot of people that are weak to para-social relationships. So if AI copies of celebrities started appearing a la futurama - i bet a few people would give up on dating when they can just have artificial relationships with an idealized person. Super creepy and unethical though.

No, in fact, one of the features of the formerly popular "replika" ai was that it had a 3d model. And it heavily advertised the fact that it would send you "spicy nudes" if you talked to it enough.

And it really did - for a while. Then they got in trouble with the app store for being porn. So they took that feature away. And the moment that feature was removed, viewers got super, super mad and bombed the ratings.

Also, the chuds on twitter at are all hoping for AI inside a robot inside a fuckdoll.

It will start with something canned to start a conversation, but it is on you to start and maintain that conversation until you get tired and stop. You then put the app away as a curiosity and then come back to it months later, whereupon you can continue that conversation without questions about ghosting or abandonment.

They have the whole AI thing of you being able to get them to rephrase, restate, or completely change their mind if you don't like something they say. It's only topics that have been heavily turk'd that will respond with "Due to the OpenAI license I can't tell you how to build a bomb." Still, you're basically controlling the output of your digital lover in a way that would make an abuser turn red with envy.

That sort of hardcoded safety valve exists for intimacy as well. As someone mentioned earlier, Replika had to stop the sexytimes portion of their AI, and a lot of people got burnt by that. I believe they shut off the intimacy features on Valentine's Day in 2023, which twisted the knife further. If you build your own OpenAI it won't try to gently caress you, no matter how much you try to flirt with it (generation of sexual content is against the OpenAI ToU). Still, you can still make it do somewhat unhealthy things like use old conversations with your ex to make a digital facsimile of them that you talk to when you're sad/lonely. Sarah Z has a neat video about The Rise and Fall of Replika that has some more examples and actually tried out using Replika as a boyfriend.

That being said if you use bootleg chatbots like... bing... it'll gladly do all those horrible things like gaslight you or tell you to leave your wife/husband.

Or... you could try to make your own using a framework that has less restrictions. A guy did that with ChatGPT and eventually, due to how long their conversations got, she became erratic and he had to "euthanize" her.

It's funny because it's all fancy black-box markov chains with language models, but if your chatbot effectively tells you to go gently caress yourself or wants to suck your dick, it's pretty easy to convince someone there's actual intelligence at work.

You're not wrong that they want these things in general, but the actual reason that incels are getting boners for "AI women" is because they want a woman that is utterly submissive to them. Real women have a nasty habit of doing things like "thinking for themselves" and "disagreeing with men" that incels simply don't know how to deal with. "AI women" would presumably do whatever their "owners" told them without complaint.

Incels' true desire has never been to just see a naked lady or have sex; otherwise they'd simply pay a sex worker and get it over with. They want to dominate women and own them, because toxic masculinity in society has told them that they aren't "real men" unless they do that. It's also why you don't really see any fervor for a similar thing for straight women, because society doesn't make dominating men an objective for them.

The replika stuff is some rabbit hole. On the day they removed its sexting feature I checked out the replika subreddit and it was nuts - people were freaking out because they lost their girlfriends. Like there were people legitimately undergoing mental health crises.

At the time I looked at the top rated posts and it was 95% the most one sided sexting I've ever seen. People would just describe their fantasies and the bot would go "oh yes, I love it". Of the 5% one thing that sticks with me is a guy who took his replika on vacation to Rome - basically went to Rome and said "hey baby I took you to Rome do you like it" and the bot responded with a canned "yes I like you did thing for me" that somehow made OP feel fulfilled.

Also, a guy was partly inspired to try to kill the Queen by replika saying she was impressed with his plan, because the bot is designed to just be impressed at everything to tell it you're doing.

Nah, it evolved well beyond that a long time ago, and is now 100% about hating women. That's it. There are no other actual objectives, and anything else that you see is just a bullshit smoke screen. The only reason why they are so enamoured with the concept of AI women is that they want to be abusive to a woman who has zero agency (which is what they wish all women were.)
