I’m OOTL, what did contrapoints do?

In the long run I’d miss my loved ones too much. For a year or so? I’d love it!

How is your trip going? And how long did your 500€ last you? Assuming you already spent them, what are you doing now to sustain yourself?

I hope they are planning on giving the room some sound treatment. Their square box rn is gonna fuck with the sound so much that they won’t even notice the fancy gear that they have.

I feel like there were already plenty of lines crossed. What makes you think they wouldn’t this time?

I personally know a few people who do similar stuff or use it as therapist. It’s anecdotal of course but I don’t think many people using AI for personal connections and interactions is very surprising. Before AI people used chat boards, blogs, social media and google to talk about and commiserate about their problems, now it’s AI. There was an “AI” called Eliza in the late 60s and people already were using that as a therapist and attributed intelligence and real emotions to it.

This whole thing says more about the availability and demand for real human connection and therapy than it does about the individuals who use it.

Fuck them. They get all the toys they want, they should just invest into renovations instead of palantir and Boston Dynamics robot dogs. Or maybe skip some avocado toast…
