I didn’t know any of this going in, but it seems weird to me that the article kept tying the company back to this Glenn Beck guy, who seemingly only shilled for it. Is there something I’m missing?
I dunno. With enough money, “yes men” can be employed to tell me how much I deserve to be the boss, and books I’m uncomfortable with can be removed from my local library. /s

I knew this would come up, and you are absolutely right. But apart of the bourgeoisie who really have some parts of their brains wired differently, us “normal” people even if we are successful we suffer from imposter syndrome or burn out.
I predict that once robotics and AI advanced beyond some particular threshold, human-on-human relationships will be seen as strange and needlessly fetishistic. Who would want some grimey partner with their own needs when you can generate an infinitely moldable soulmate?
you don’t make your own fastfood, porn or trash tv. so it’s like, completely different. being able to mold your partner doesn’t assume a quick process and shallow results.
I strongly disagree. Cheat codes provided infinite possibilities in an otherwise static game. The only reason don’t use cheat codes today is because they evolved into sandbox mode, console commands, and mods. And trust me, Skyrim would be long dead without those.

When I’ve been watching the Republican debates and similar Fox News content I saw they have heavy advertising from some investment company that sells it as gold-backed securities or something along those lines. They know their audience and they’re collecting on that fact
That’s the short form equation that ignores environmental pressure, the long form has a separate term that accounts for shelter and sentience as a factor between 0 and 1, as well as a quotient for empathy with a numerator of associate happiness.
