This is why we never heard from the aliens. Invented AI, retired to their Goonspheres.

What else did you think all the Fallen Empires in Stellaris did ? ;-)

Agreed:) no one’s gonna mate and continue the our human lineage, haha

Also with people having fewer ties to the rest of humanity, there will probably be some weird effects on morality

Agreed, and probably has already started with the high usage of the internet and YouTube

There already are. Look how money creates the Epstein class.

human advancement is a function of population, instead of focusing on population decline to solve our resource problems we should focus on efficiency and technology. i am not rooting to revert to the dark ages i really struggle with this ideology of reduction that seems extremely popular. we really take for granted the fragility of human existence we exist in a pico second of reality and could and most likely will be snuffed out eventually, having our own species rooting for this outcome seems suicidal.

> suicidal

Would the logical opposite be eternity for all, and bring back the deceased? LLM plays the Joker, happily imprisoned?

oh no, I am long past any delusions that any problems will ever be solved, I just want it all to end

So homicidal then.

Honestly I think that people who want to fuck a clanker not passing their genes on is probably for the best.

so pretty much anyone who isn't amish?

In the future you won't be able to tell.

No most of us are keen on developing human relationships and intimacy, but it sounds like you view women as a warm fleshlight so I hope that you and your genetic line wind up as dead ends with dry humping a robot as your greatest life accomplishment. Good job lil fella. Give that Claude session your 3.5 inches of American steel.

What do you think human relationships and intimacy entail and why can't some sort of high-tech robot legitimately emulate that?

>it sounds like you view women as a warm fleshlight

I think most people accept the fact that women and men are sexual objects. If you view me as a mysoginist for believing that, then I think I understand why you might think our society is still patriarchal or something.

In fact, I can't say that most straight men expect something cerebral or spiritual out of their partners. But even if it was the case, you could expect that a hyper-inteligent machine would exceed human capabilities in this regard.

The only types of people who aren't going to be humping robots are members of isolated societies who have a grudge against technology. Hence the amish.

There are an increasing number of loser men and women who have these AI partners. I think we may see a tipping point where "genetic dead ends" comprise the majority of the population.

With this level of sexual competition, who can blame them? If you're not at the apex you can put in the effort to reproduce but then your offspring are just faced by the same problem, one generation removed.

The majority of men born in this generation won't reproduce. For the average man, there is no sense in doing anything but devoting your life to some high-risk/high-reward strategy. I don't even know what that entails these days, but apparently it involves a lot of sports betting.

I'm normally endowed, as are like 90% of men (so I think these types of baseless insults fall flat). But if I wasn't, would you rather I pass on 3.5 inches of american steel to the next generation? Your insult stands regardless and reveals your underlying preference. If I was endowed well enough, I'm sure you would see my point.

It makes no difference personally, as a gay man who is uninterested in exploring robosexuality. I prefer to work my clankers.
