Forget about the porn for a minute gang... this is, to me, the key insight in the story: VR and its cousin, “augmented reality,” are controlled by the big corporations. Facebook owns the Oculus Rift. Microsoft built the Hololens. Google does Google Glass. These will treat porn at least like Android treats porn—or maybe even like Glass treated porn when O’Connell unveiled his app. In other words, they won’t allow it t…

I think the next big thing after VR will be sexbots, as in, per Philip K Dick, "your basic pleasure model." The pieces are almost all on the shelf and coming together. The hard part of course will be the software, with the motivation of making it an increasingly realistic companion. The Dark Matter series placed an interesting spin on it, where the "entertainment android", in addition to sex, is also specialized for…
Not that I'm cynical about tech or anything...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I follow @stoya and @Kayden_Kross on Twitter. :D They shatter the prejudices about porn stars with almost every tweet. It's a bit weird though. To follow these smart, funny girls and then be able to switch website and see them have hardcore sex.
Smart and funny girls can't have sex?
Also, historically, people have associated working in the pornography industry as an act of desperation.

So, tell me, how often did you install a new os on your smartphone, game console, VR device smart watch in the early 80s?

But is losing control really that bad? Often we don't want control as much as we want to do more stuff. We don't have control about our food, but we are as fat as never before. We don't have control over what happens with our taxes, but still live for most people in the western world is stable, there are roads, public transport, doctors. I don't think people really want to keep control over their computers.
I always felt it was weird that in the west there's this clear sharp line between porn and not, whereas in Japan things seemed a lot more blurred - it was normal for celebrities to become porn stars and vice versa, for game franchises that started as porn to get a cleaned-up Playstation instalment, for manga artists to release unofficial porn versions of their own work. I remember watching the movie Swordfish and bei…

Right this moment I'm sitting in an office in the place that represents our hope, a capital of continued progress[0] - Shenzhen, China. Everything Facebook, Google and Microsoft designs gets built here (or nearby) anyway. China has a... quite healthy attitude towards copyright and trade secrets. That is, they don't give a flying fuck here. There was even a term for that, that eludes me at the moment, which described…
Okay, so, silly question time: why can't we just have a Paetron for porn actors and actresses? Cut out all of the middle men, pay them directly?
