    But he can’t even get a self driving car right. Why would I believe that he can replicate women before that?

    Seeing as there is literally a group of women in a cult that are drugging men with hormones to make them think they are trans(usually sneaking it into their food, and it’s usually their own sons), and there’s a group of men they are trying to force to sleep with the trans people, there’s actually going to be a very upset group of assholes that can’t control people with sex. For those people, welcome to your irrelevancy, it’s already here but the world’s a big place and it’s gonna take awhile for you to really feel the heat.

    lol this would be amazing news for straight women. it should be super cheap and accessible too. imagine the number of weirdos who will preliminate themselves from dating before you even know them. what a wonderful gift to the world. it’s great for straight men too, if the women won’t have to spelunk through so much garbage to find a normal dude.

      It’s subjective who’s a normal dude and whether that intersects with weirdos who preliminate (interesting word) themselves from dating before you even know them.

      I’m definitely in the latter group except for a few very rare events (all of which did not end very well, though for some of them others say I dodged a bullet, and for some of them I’ve reevaluated the events and myself think I dodged a bullet, though the person is good, but they too have problems unfixed yet which would make it a dumpster fire, and some of them ended such a nightmare that I suspect I should be glad we weren’t deeper into things … tldr I’m one of those weirdos)

      But this really would be amazing news for everyone if we assume a good enough physical imitation is possible. Let them. Plastic grass, fabric flowers, rubber “stone” or “brick” walls, electric fireplaces, search engines instead of actually judging for yourself whom you’d want to ask and what you’d want to read, social media instead of a forum (the Roman one, though early 00s ones were good) or a homepage, fashion degenerating into all girls at night looking the same (outdoors), the “genial” and “non-mainstream” authors’ names being known to every high schooler and all the same unlike Stanislaw Lem and Isaac Asimov and Chesterton and Simak and even Tolkien and Lewis, instead of ancap (like it or not, it’s a very firm and characteristic ideology, that has influenced cyberpunk in both ways) optimism\pessimism only cryptoscams and Gab and alt-rights around, instead of new computer-powered amazing art - some plagiarism machines, instead of transhumanism - some very persuasive bots, it makes sense that at some point this should come to moving dolls instead of romantic partners, and if people don’t choke on the rest in this list, they won’t choke on that too.

    I don’t think men want robot wives. Believe it or not most men actually like women and enjoy their company. A robot could never compare.

    Ignoring how much of a fuckup his personal projects are, if these types of robots are made and are sentient/conscious/self aware, then these incels will run into the same problem that they do with human women.

    If these robots don’t have those qualities, these incels will remain unfulfilled with their “partners”.

    Their only solution is to actually respect women and value them as equals. But they’ll never do that.

    Well, he’s a eugenicist (and thinks he’s got the best genes) so I’m guessing this is part of his plan to make certain populations stop breeding.

      Most of everyone on Lemmy is into eugenics. Except they go the long way by claiming poor people shouldn’t have kids

          Go on a thread talking about cost of living or cost of children. Most views there are “if you can’t afford kids don’t have em” without realizing what you guys are actually suggesting. A future where only the rich get to have kids, and the poor are only there to work and die

                Cool. Here, let me clarify why I adamantly disagree so that it’s clear it wasn’t my “lack of acceptance” of your evidence as to why I wasn’t swayed.

                Eugenics is systemic and requires intent. If individuals make the decision to not have children because the world is hostile towards them doing so, that’s an individual choice. Can’t be eugenics. Hell, even discussing not having children if you can’t afford it still isn’t eugenics.

                Now, a world being designed to be hostile towards individuals having children, that could be interpreted as eugenics. But the victims of that system making the choice the system has been made to make them make… yeah, not eugenics. Victims, not perpetrators.

                So, like I said, your position is exaggeration to the point of absurdity.

                And before it’s brought up, while many people in power are eugenicists (white nationalists, classists, etc) I don’t think the current system is intentionally designed to cut the population. It’s a knock-on effect of letting the wants make policy, rather than making systems to be equitable. They just want to have everything without thinking the ramifications of their decisions all the way through.

        There’s a lot of people that often get thrown into the “eugenics” crowd; but they’re actually advocating for no one to have kids at all. It’s not about selective genetics; it’s about less people overall.

          Malthusianism and eugenics are inseparable, not to mention both have been completely debunked, over and over and over again. Yet it persists as not just a cultural relic like phrenology but as a mode of inquiry that gets funded, researched, promoted. Even you take it seriously, “its not about killing certain people, its about killing everyone equally.”

          Its almost like there is a group or maybe a class of people who do the funding and own the media companies, who like this idea and want to keep it around despite it being based on lies and conjecture. And if that is true, the question becomes “why?”
