Would you ever trust a mechanical being to not crush your dick during a malfunction?

That a malfunction....or a feature????

Why would you put a giant vise in the kitty? Just moderate amount of circumferential tension and a little vacuum pressure is all you (I) need. It's like the movies, why engineer these domestic bots with the ability to lift a car, sprint at 60 mph, and leap over walls? Design them to pick up 20 pounds max and walk no faster than 3 mph and you never have to worry about a robot rebellion

 

[jason10mm]

Yes, but whilst you're inside there you're going to have to work also in a 1999 world. No way the AI will let you live an ancient Greek life where you hang around the townsquare eating grapes and philosophizing all day.

Why not? We COULD program that as the AIs overarching goal. It's not like they would ever have a desire we didn't instill in them and removed from any biological impulse of propagation, pretty much everything is just a means to an end, and we can set the end.

Human greed for material accumulation, dominance, and power will lead to AIs being 'forced' to achieve those goals, but I don't think any AI would (if they were able to) chose such a goal itself.

Joking aside, it's a bait article looking for clicks. Manufacturing, warehouse work, transportation and farming are all industries that are male dominated which are and will continue to be impacted by AI/Automation.

End of the day.. It is going to impact us all.

For people who like a firmer squeeze?

Dude some people like to get their nipples electrified during sex, they are gonna cover every possible kink with sex robots.

Which will fall to automation first, nursing or doctors?

I actually think it will be doctors first, i.e. making the diagnosis and prescribing treatment, monitoring therapy, even performing certain procedures. Obviously not ALL doctors, but the vast majority of the primary care environment and the areas that are essentially high level pattern recognition (radiology, pathology, etc). The nursing side, observing the patient, tracking and charting (to make sure the AI is on the correct path), interfacing with the family, providing comfort to the patient, that will stay a human occupation. Though I suspect an elderly care bot, much like Robot and Frank (great film, BTW) will be a common thing (minus the crime).

Mechanical cock sleeves controlled by a phone already exist. So I would assume many would line up for this.

These things don't have robotic legs that can crush your pelvis tho.

You don't have to think about a cock sleeve (nice name btw) you have to think about the entire body of another person with much more strenght than you that can crush you at any given moment for a malfunction or when skynet is gonna take the lead

No doubt many people would love sex robots, i would just pointing out the risks.

Probably doctors. Of the two it is the one that requires more precision and less humanity. As crass as that sounds.

Hey, a world before smartphones and social media, where PS1 is in its prime and Dreamcast is the hot new system, doesn't sound so bad to me. Where do I sign up?

 

[BigDeadFreak]

If that were to happen a form of UBI would be required. If not, society itself would collapse.

This is what they said about the industrial revolution. I haven't heard anyone explain why AI is so different. It may well be but I've never seen anyone address this.

It's a combination of the factors. Such as the advancements in AI, who controls it and wealth distribution in general. But most importantly that most jobs can be automated.

 

[Toons]

I've been reading a lot about this following recent layoffs at my workplaces.

Apart from management the vast majority of the layoffs have been women in the finance, HR sales and procurement departments. Meanwhile our engineers (all male) have been completely unaffected.

After world war 2 there was a sudden increase of women in the workplace (largely secretarial work).

My question is… is AI about to send them all back to the kitchen?

AI poses a greater threat to women in the workforce, but why? ILO study reveals alarming gender gap predictions - The Economic Times

An ILO study reveals women are three times more likely than men to lose jobs to AI, especially in clerical and administrative roles. As generative AI spreads across industries, high-income countries face growing gender disparities. The report urges policymakers to adopt inclusive strategies to...

Women three times more likely to have job taken by AI than men

A new UN-led report found that women's jobs in high-income countries are more likely to be replaced or touched by artificial intelligence than their male peers.

The new "American Dream"

All those things were said about the industrial revolution too though so I still don't see how it's different? I'm genuinely curious about it.

 

[Durien]

One thing I wanted to note, feminism isn't about being better than men, it is about creating an equal playing field. In addition, feminisists also stated why, just because they are women, are they to be the ones in the kitchen. Granted there are feminists out there who are in the "men are all evil, down with the patriarchy!!" But not all feminists are like that.

The funny thing is I have known some pretty hard core feminists, whom, once that biological clock alarm started ringing, came down off the feminists platform and happily became a home maker with a family.

One thing about educating women and putting them in the workplace, it creates a decline in population because bother men and women are too busy working and by the end of the day are too tired for baby making (especially in tech where you work 10 to 14 hours a day) t's one of the problems Japan is trying to address.

 

[Hot5pur]

Doubtful, feminism wasn't about making women "equal" to men, it was about freeing women to focus on their lives just like men could.
That meant they weren't going to be treated like property (in some countries) or were allowed to enter the workforce. There are plenty of men and women that don't find having children that meaningful, this is not a unique gender thing.
As far as "going back to the kitchen", I think a lot of men have insecurities (not to mention complete inability to cook), so they like to use this joke from time to time to denigrate women, though deep down they are just trying to mask their own shame.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

not necessarily about AI. but the overall state of culture within companies ans jobs that shouldn't exists in the first palace thanks this DEI.

First law of robotics says a lot about Asimov's perspective on sexual kinks, then.

AI is being used in radiology right now. A human radiologist always has to say the final word, of course, but we're already there in that field.

Is it ok to ask how AI is used in this instance? You aren't talking software comparison but prompting what the problem is and getting results?

I don't know the details. I guess the AI helps in identifying anomalies in radiologic images that may be too subtle for the human eye to stand out. I don't think the AI can make more than an educated guess at a diagnosis; it can probably help with differential diagnosis, making a list of possible diagnoses that the human doctor may not have all in mind at one time.

They can use brute force learning. In pathology at least, they show it 50,000 breast biopsies and tell it to guess the diagnosis. Then they tell it the "correct" answer and do it again, over and over. The AI will learn its own criteria, which sometimes it can't even articulate to humans.

That sort of thing SHOULD always be back stopped by a human, but its only a matter if time before folks "trust" the ai so much they lose the critical eye and just rubber stamp what it says and go back to flirting with nurses
