more random thoughts: - happy people are beautiful people - a clock-in-clock-out, nine-to-five-and-nothing-more is a perfectly acceptable approach to work, but it doesn’t work for me (and that’s also acceptable) - elite athletes will play up age groups or compete in different countries to level up their play; i’ve noticed crypto founders who take a similar approach (socialize and learn from successful non-crypto founders) are distinctly different when it comes to focus, a prerequisite for success - more people should smile when they don’t feel like it - sometimes the right person isn’t necessarily the one with whom you want to settle down, but the one with whom you want to take off; a relationship for which commitment signifies the start, not end, of liberty - execution > ideas - when i have kids, i’d feel like a failure if my daughter thought her best chance at generating value is OnlyFans or if my son thought his best chance at an intimate connection is OnlyFans and idk if that’s right

For the last point, how would you feel if your son/daughter said they were in love with an AI chatbot/agent? Would AI relationships devalue traditional relationships, or improve them? Like if everyone had an AI partner to supplement their human partner. If that was the norm. Where does monogamy fit in? Bit of a tangent but your last point got me thinking along the lines of AI replacing a lot of onlyfans/porn moving forward and the effect that will have on human relationships. And us older generations inherently being repulsed by something future generations might find completely normal. I wonder if that's how older generations felt about the first interracial relationships, or same sex relationships, and is this just the same thing? If not then what makes this different? AI's are not humans? What is it to be human? haha anyway, I thought that was an interesting tangent and I don't have any answers.

I hadn't thought about this in this way until your post, but in a way, AI relationships are similar to porn in that they're shadows of and substitutes for real human intimacy. A difference is that bots will provide a personalization that removes the veil of having to "share". This will almost certainly be an epidemic at some point in the near future and it's not hard to connect this to a declining birth rate and social fabric. There's your 2¢ of boomer doom for a Monday 😅

Yeah but that's the AI of today. Imagine the AI of 10 years from now. If we can't tell the difference between them and human's what does that mean. Not to mention if AI led breakthroughs leads to a stopping or reversing of aging. Philosophy feels less like thought experiments and more like practical questions for everyday life haha

Geez, no kidding — it’s not just wondering aloud anymore. I see what you mean and I suspect that’s not far off. Good, necessary questions. Underneath all that, I’m thinking about two things (that may or may not be retained): control and disposability. While these are present in many human relationships, most of us see them as dysfunction; at the moment, control & disposability in AI bots are often positioned as features, not bugs. Put another way, the difficulties and inconveniences real human relationships are a net benefit but they’re potentially being designed out of society. I’m concerned that as we optimize further and further for our own personal peace and comfort, we’re unwittingly subverting our own greatness. All that said, I’m not sure what I would do about it. Regulations and myopically shaping technological progress aren’t the answer. *** Then of course there’s the Bladerunner scenario. 😅
