We're going to take the chance and mystery out of romantic situations and the irony of this statement will come to fruition; sex will become porn, and subsequently unfulfilling.

There needs to be challenge, hope, disappointment, frustration, innuendo, seduction...sex sucks when you don't have these. It literally becomes as repulsive as porn after you nut.

What Pac say..."I don't want it, if it's that easy..."

Honestly, a lot of what modern dating norms seem to align with this in a sense. it's a lot of self protective measures to essentially feel nothing bad.

I know a handful of women who I am 99% sure are not having sex with anyone, and would rather text back and forth, until they have vetted that this person is safe for a long term relationship. This is all pre sex. How do you even do that? I don't think things like that were common 25 years ago.

I know some super bad girls like bottle girls who don't have sex, but post like near nude pics all day.

Today, I’m talking with Replika founder and CEO Eugenia Kuyda, and I will just tell you right from the jump, we get all the way to people marrying their AI companions, so get ready.

Replika’s basic pitch is pretty simple: what if you had an AI friend? The company offers avatars you can curate to your liking that basically pretend to be human, so they can be your friend, your therapist, or even your date. You can interact with these avatars through a familiar chatbot interface, as well as make video calls with them and even see them in virtual and augmented reality.

The idea for Replika came from a personal tragedy: almost a decade ago, a friend of Eugenia’s died, and she fed their email and text conversations into a rudimentary language model to resurrect that friend as a chatbot. Casey Newton wrote an excellent feature about this for The Verge back in 2015. Even back then, that story grappled with some of the big themes you’ll hear Eugenia and I talk about today: what does it mean to have a friend inside the computer?
