LLM sexbots could be pretty useful

[pjc50]

Every "AI chat" service either leans into or fights the "alignment problem" of whether it wants to be an AI sex chat bot service. See controversy over Replika.

The alignment problem in that case is a lot simpler. Will this appendage fit into that receptacle.

Stuffing 25 RTX4090 into every anthropomorphic sex bot is the real growth potential that hasn't been priced in yet /s

Hmm, I think shared capacity in cloud might be enough? What fraction of time would you use one anyway? And wouldn't it be better if one was silent the other time?

I think they want to use the waste heat to simulate human warmth.

Obligatory wisdom from The Dude: "Hmm... well, I still jerk off manually."
