So I need to preemptively wear anti facial recognition makeup if ever called for jury duty. Gotcha.
It seems somewhat realistic to expect an actual punishment for this, even if not properly scaled. It’s worth fighting for. But being prepared alongside that is important.
My initial reaction is to be thankful; now the unknown thousands of people who don’t see the toxicity of their own dependence can begin to be free. The subsequent models seem to be less prone to inducing that kind of deep infatuation.
But then I realize most of them will probably never recover, as long as this technology persists. The base model will be wrapped in an infinite number of seductive agents sold in an app, with a subscription, as a loving companion. Capitalism smells blood in the water. If I was a hedge fund manager witnessing the birth of a new market demographic with a lifelong addiction that possibly hooks harder than cigarettes, which is not federally regulated, and won’t be for the forseeable future; I would be foaming at the mouth with this opening in the market.
True lol you got me there
I mean, I got mine to do it. No shame personally because I recommended at 40k and made sure they understood the risks. Seems real enough to me.
Never been to the east coast (that’s a goal for sure though), but I totally get that. It’s why I like driving the areas surrounding LA. People are more decisive while driving than other states up the coast. The California driver is more likely to be an asshole, yes, but one who knows what’s happening around them, makes a decision, and stick to it. My home state drives (ha) me insane with the amount of people who just seem totally checked out, either fiddling around on a cell phone or some other bullshit that shouldn’t be done while driving.
