    lol this would be amazing news for straight women. it should be super cheap and accessible too. imagine the number of weirdos who will preliminate themselves from dating before you even know them. what a wonderful gift to the world. it’s great for straight men too, if the women won’t have to spelunk through so much garbage to find a normal dude.

    I don’t think men want robot wives. Believe it or not most men actually like women and enjoy their company. A robot could never compare.

      Interesting, now that you say that… He’s got 12 kids. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of him with any of the mothers.

    Ignoring how much of a fuckup his personal projects are, if these types of robots are made and are sentient/conscious/self aware, then these incels will run into the same problem that they do with human women.

    If these robots don’t have those qualities, these incels will remain unfulfilled with their “partners”.

    Their only solution is to actually respect women and value them as equals. But they’ll never do that.

    Well, he’s a eugenicist (and thinks he’s got the best genes) so I’m guessing this is part of his plan to make certain populations stop breeding.

      Most of everyone on Lemmy is into eugenics. Except they go the long way by claiming poor people shouldn’t have kids

          Go on a thread talking about cost of living or cost of children. Most views there are “if you can’t afford kids don’t have em” without realizing what you guys are actually suggesting. A future where only the rich get to have kids, and the poor are only there to work and die

                Cool. Here, let me clarify why I adamantly disagree so that it’s clear it wasn’t my “lack of acceptance” of your evidence as to why I wasn’t swayed.

                Eugenics is systemic and requires intent. If individuals make the decision to not have children because the world is hostile towards them doing so, that’s an individual choice. Can’t be eugenics. Hell, even discussing not having children if you can’t afford it still isn’t eugenics.

                Now, a world being designed to be hostile towards individuals having children, that could be interpreted as eugenics. But the victims of that system making the choice the system has been made to make them make… yeah, not eugenics. Victims, not perpetrators.

                So, like I said, your position is exaggeration to the point of absurdity.

                And before it’s brought up, while many people in power are eugenicists (white nationalists, classists, etc) I don’t think the current system is intentionally designed to cut the population. It’s a knock-on effect of letting the wants make policy, rather than making systems to be equitable. They just want to have everything without thinking the ramifications of their decisions all the way through.

        There’s a lot of people that often get thrown into the “eugenics” crowd; but they’re actually advocating for no one to have kids at all. It’s not about selective genetics; it’s about less people overall.

          Malthusianism and eugenics are inseparable, not to mention both have been completely debunked, over and over and over again. Yet it persists as not just a cultural relic like phrenology but as a mode of inquiry that gets funded, researched, promoted. Even you take it seriously, “its not about killing certain people, its about killing everyone equally.”

          Its almost like there is a group or maybe a class of people who do the funding and own the media companies, who like this idea and want to keep it around despite it being based on lies and conjecture. And if that is true, the question becomes “why?”

    Awesome. As a woman, I cannot wait for the day men will be so occupied with a robot waifu, that we can finally walk safely at night.

      Well most men don’t assault women. It’s always a small percentile. And since assault is often about power, not sex, I doubt that would solve anything.

      As a dude, it pains me that this is the current state of affairs. I wish things were better for both men and women (and all others too).
