Right? I promise not to scheme on $10 worth of toothpaste.

That would make it more plausible. I don't think you're an idiot, I was asking because I was curious if there was precedent for a jackass conspiracy minded employee handing out medical advice causing liability for a business. I wouldn't think it is right, but I also don't agree with other legal standards, lol.

Would a court find Walmart liable for your decision to take medical advice from a random employee? I'm sure Walmart could demonstrate that the employee was not acting in the capacity of their role and any reasonable person would not consider drinking bleach because an unqualified walmart employee told them so.

I could definitely see this having an impact, how great that impact is would depend on technological advancements and social factors. Populations are already on a decline in many countries for myriad reasons. The only arguments I've seen about this being a bad thing are primarily focused on the ruling classes concerns, i.e. "the economy." There maybe some mild concerns for the average person, but if we survive what we've done to the planet, overall I think it will be beneficial in the long term for the world population to decrease. Marriages are also in decline, but if all that a marriage is based on is sex, that probably isn't a marriage worth being in. IMO, our species going quietly into the night isn't the worst future, lol.

I wasn't trying to imply there wasn't issues women face around sex, just that issues with sex toys and preferences (the sex toys have "unrealistic standards" for women) mentioned in the article are specific to men.

If somebody wants to have an "AI" sexbot, whether physical or digital, this isn't anybody else's concern. Ideally, these should not be connected to the internet, but updated through USB or done other offline method to protect users. But at the end, if this is what an individual would prefer over an actual relationship, then so be it, you probably don't want to be in a relationship with this person anyway. The outcry seems to come from this idea that men (let's face it, there's no stigma around women and their sexual preferences or toys) who are undesirable to others should just be lonely and mocked for even using the most basic of sex toys/services. Let these folks have their sex toys and leave them alone, it doesn't bother you.

If you legitimately believe llms "understand" anything at all, I really don't believe there's anything to discuss with you. That is a completely absurd notion at this stage.

That's just true believer talk. It really is trash.

And yet the only tech any company is interested in using is LLMs, which are about to fall flat on their face. What tech in the field is close to being able to think for itself and truly act autonomously?

The prize has nothing to do with these claims. Furthermore, past accomplishments do not make a person infallible. Nice ad hominem, though.

That doesn't really count, lol. The reality is, we've already killed ourselves, we just won't admit it yet. The climate effects we're seeing today aren't even from recent emissions. Mr. Bones Wild Ride has only just begun, and there's no getting off.
