Think of the possibilities. -A VR show can modify the jokes in real time if they know how funny you find them. -A VR casino can offer a 'full biometrics' table for the players who really think they know how to bluff -A VR porno can have your VR GF climax at the same time as you

> VR GF This seems like an oxymoron. I get that it's a "virtual" girl friend which semantically qualifies the term girl friend, yet there's something immensely sad about the combination of these terms. VR sex bot seems more apt to me. It doesn't really matter and I don't mean to impose terminology on anyone; it's just an observation/reaction.

  Sex bot implies sex in some form, that I don’t think is primary value of a such system even if it all available. The ability to form a connection and understand your needs perfectly and respond to that a companion is the real value Sex gets boring pretty fast . It is not that expensive to pay for in real life, a companion would be supportive, knowledgeable, empathetic and always available is very hard to pay and get or have otherwise . I don’t know why people find it sad , not everyone is able to find the perfect (or any) human partner /companion , we should be happy if we are all are able to connect to sentience does it matter if it is a human , dog or a machine ?

    I'm not opposed to it under all circumstances. What worries me is that people will do it under too many circumstances and fail to engage with the real thing. That seems like a tremendous loss of social opportunity which I'd argue is already occurring with technology today.

Think of the possibilities - they can track what you fear - they can track what you like - they can track what enrages you Agencies will love that data.

Regarding your first bullet, I am not sure if that's what people want. One of the best part of story telling like a TV show or movie is that everyone watched the same thing and then can refer to it later. How much more isolating does VR tech need to be?

  > How much more isolating does VR tech need to be? As isolating as it needs to be to extract max revenue. Your fine-tuned proclivities profile will be one more thing to lock you onto the platform, and an opportunity for product placement/ ads. Marketers would love to have their brand associated with happy thoughts (and happy thoughts only).
