>Can you set some timers for my sport session, can you plan a pure body weight session ? Yes, that's perfect. Wait, actually, remove the jumping jacks." Better

Better yet, why exercise -which is so repetitive- if we can create a machine that just does it for you, including the dopamine triggering, why play an arcade video game where we can create a machine that fires the neuron needed to produce the exact same level of a excitement than the best video game.
And why find mates when my robot can morph into any woman in the world, or better yet, the brain implants that trigger the exact same feelings than having sex and love.
Bleak, we are oversimplifying existence itself and it doesn't lead to a nice place.

- bloomca 1y ago> Bleak, we are oversimplifying existence itself and it doesn't lead to a nice place. We are already on this path for many-many years, certainly decades if not centuries, although availability was definitely spotty in the past. It is also kind of impossible to hop off this train, while it is individually possible to reject any of these conveniences, in general they just become a part of life. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but just different.
- AmbroseBierce 1y agoCitation needed on that last sentence about ir not a bad thing, also I'm pretty sure climate change 100% counts as a collateral damage of this behavior.
- fouc 1y ago> although availability was definitely spotty in the past. lol, that seems like a reference to the William Gibson quote "The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed"
- DustinKlent 1y agoYou say bleak, but a huge number of people would consider what you're describing as a utopian paradise...especially the morphing robot part.
- AmbroseBierce 1y agoI should know I am one of them, I mean exclusively the robot part.
