  1. Links to news stories from...

This is just the plot of the Black Mirror episode Hang the DJ.

It's interesting how many of the psychopath suits seem to watch cautionary tales turning into hellscapes and think "yeah, that's a great idea, let's make that".

If people want to make computer characters date they should just save themselves the trouble and get the Sims.

My AI and your AI

Sitting by the fire

My AI said to your AI

I'm going to set the world on fire

It's an interesting idea. A simulated version of me dates simulated versions of everyone else, and then tells me which ones were any good... It would save the hassle, for sure. Could reintroduce some honesty into hookups, too, less dancing around trying to figure out if that's what you're both after.

I'm not at all convinced that any company can convincingly simulate my personality though.. and there are too many layers of abstraction here, do I really trust that the AI simulated opinions of the AI simulated version of the person thst only had a simulated conversation with simulated me is really going to reflect the real situation? I doubt it.

There was a black mirror episode about this.

I'm going to get that tattooed backwards across my forehead.
