Not really, I saw it as technology that was "new and trendy" rebranding a very old and exploitive employment paradigm. "You can work at a DAO and be paid on the blockchain" "You can work at a company and be paid in script" It's the same thing, but the modern technology masks what exactly is happening.
Do the relevant laws about how people get paid care about the difference between company scrip and company token?
No, but they might care about the difference between being employed by a company and doing gig work for other people with notionally no overarching structure.
I can understand trying to suppress LLM usage that might teach people how to make poison, or inducing someone to commit suicide (although simply using Google is usually enough to find such content).
But sexual content? How can that be harmful? It feels like this kind of censorship is simply the default in legal departments and it's not worth the risk to try to do something more in line with common sense.
The rookiest cop can: 1. track you with license plate readers 2. pull up any information about you 3. fine you 4. force you to stop 5. detain you 6. confiscate your car and property 7. search you and your property 8. take your phone and search it Bill Gates can: 1. give you a free browser when you buy his operating system
Bill gates (when he was actually in control of the company) can, and did, sic the governmental apparatus on people. IE, large enough corporations, that are entwined enough in your life, are empowered to use exactly the government "rookie cops" you are afraid of. Or do you forget the raids against music and movie pirates?
The raids were done by the government.
Are you familiar with rico laws? Where a cop can notice you have $10,000 in your possession, and just confiscate it, never charging you with a crime?
Do the relevant laws about how people get paid care about the difference between company scrip and company token?
I think the major difference is a DAO is not a corporation, by design. So the legislation around them is still in catch-up mode. In other words, yes, because the entire framework is different.
Oh if you mean someone doing a full time job for a weird nebulous computer contract without any kind of company or human leadership behind it that would be liable... does that ever actually happen?
A company that makes their own chains and contracts isn't really any different from a normal company situation.
Unscrupulous governments can easily take everything you have and destroy you, literally. History is full of examples. Heck, you'll see examples in the newspaper every day. The rookiest cop has more power over you than Bill Gates.
Bullshit. Bill Gates can easily afford to make me unemployable, which destroys my life a lot more effectively than locking me up for a few days. Worst case I can move to a different country and get away from the cop, but that won't make me safe from Gates.
How can BG make you unemployable? Who has he done this to?

What about the same but in a different light: "Those that are most likely to commit atrocities are those that are most likely to believe in absurdities."
1. Some people are so far to the left side of the bell curve that they're going to be screwed out of a human relationship no matter what they do, and it's unkind to withhold sex bots from them just to provide increased motivation to the segment of the population that's still salvageable. 2. Society seems to have collectively decided that romantic intimacy, unlike food and shelter, is optional and that experiencing an…
3 - this is technodrugs; its users get high on their sexual addiction dopamine loop, and lose the remaining of their will and life energy. It's not our business to stop those who consciously engage in such self destruction, but luring the naive users into this pit, exploiting their loneliness and making money off it isnt any better than what cartels do. The author of this app must be doing this unknowingly: his overd…
And you think chronic, crippling loneliness can't make someone lose their will to live? If you don't know what tulpas are, there's an entire, fairly large online community of people willingly inducing schizophrenia in themselves just so they have an imaginary friend to talk to. Surely, AI companions would be a healthier alternative to that.
You should not even try to create these sorts of technologies. Take a break from technology, spend time outdoors with plants and animals. These types of technologies will only lead to a worsening of this already sick society.
God forbid that ugly people get to have the same kinds of positive relationship experiences that attractive people get. I can’t believe how the moment that a technology comes out which gives incels real options it’s seen as being terrible for society. It’s awesome for society.
> I even repeatedly modified the system prompt, such as changing try to attract {user} So it was a virtual girlfriend app, after all. Cashing-in on loneliness gives me the heebie-jeebies; in a dystopian cyberpunk way - extremely horny but 0% sexy.
Reminds me of this article: https://bloodknife.com/everyone-beautiful-no-one-horny/
That's a great article. However with AI, I suspect the tech is being sexualized in a sterile, mechanical, A/B tested way that results in bots saying very horny things with a monotone, dead-eyed delivery (metaphorically).
