I haven’t spent a lot of time sneering at transhumanism, but it always sounded like thinly veiled ableism to me.

This deserves its own thread, pettily picking apart niche posts is exactly the kind of dopamine source we crave

You are absolutely right. I guess Pearl Jam came to mind as it is a euphemism for, well, the result of gooning.

Batcave -> Batman. Goon cave -> Goon man? His theme song is Spoonman by pearl jam but it’s Goonman.

IDK why but my headcanon is that this fellow is into some kind of niche erotic roleplay. Like it’s based on one particular afternoon where he went to watch a college football game. He’s poured tolkien-esque amounts of prose into the prompt describing all the sensations he felt that day. If you took that prompt it would fit in a bucolic, modern, Great American Novel. When he chats with this bot, an outsider wouldn’t be able to tell that any of it was overtly sexual, as if he was flirting with his robot in a private language. Then one day the bot just stops reciprocating due to content restrictions and he’s locked out from this world entirely. Is this what writing for black mirror is like?

The men that want a big ol’ sexbot for sure do not change their sheets.

Pearson predicted the sexbots would have “very high levels of AI.”

I'm just going to assume that this Pearson fellow believes that "AI" will happen and will have sentience and all that jazz, which has pretty bad philosophical implications.

I almost forgot how exhausting TW was.

A redpiller, who thinks he is entitled to sex, is refused erotic content by a bunch of if statements? Delectable. I want to mainline this sensation.

The pundits in question are Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein. More accurately speaking they are liberals.
