Hey cool, link please sir.

THE LOVE FACTORY

One would think getting 3K per unit would be profitable enough they could afford to run the heater in that chilling factory.

Connected to the cloud?  OK now THAT's chilling.  Connected to the cloud, sheesh.  How hard is it to imagine five or six guys in the factory listening and watching the whole thing and laughing at you?

Then of course they send some video clips of you in action, offering to sell you all copies of the video.  This is how Epstein got his start donchaknow.

Instructions bounce back to the dolls, telling them how to move and interact...

Oh I see a market opportunity.  Get one which has NO internet capability.  The LLM must be self-contained.  Otherwise, you will always be subject to blackmail.

Think this over: that AI doll who does not get on the internet while in the act has its own niche, such as for married guys who just want an occasional side-romp, like that Cold-Play concert guy.

But on further thought, sure, let it connect to the cloud, but not DURING, for cryin out loud, it's unnecessary!  How profound are your discussions at those times?  I find it difficult to concentrate then.  I have never had a deep discussion of astrophysics or Eastern philosophy with my bride during those times.  She doesn't really even talk to me.  She talks to God (in a sense), but not to me.

"But as their physical features such as head and joint movements and skin became more realistic, our customers started to seek emotional companionship in the dolls."

BillK, I can't help it.  The jokes just write themselves.  This topic is hard to even discuss without humor breaking down the doors and climbing in every window.  Could you imagine being on the engineering team for that product?  (OK, who wants to test THIS model?)

Even mentioning the scenario sounds like I am setting up a Saturday Night Live skit.

Note to BillK, Saturday Night Live is the yankee version of your most hilarious Monty Python.

But as you know, I have long been interested in going straight to the emotional companionship part, even without nekkidness, mostly for people for whom the time for the Big Fun has just passed and won't be back again.

The need for companionship remains, or if anything increases.
