Charlie Rose interviews…a robot?
What happens when Charlie Rose attempts to interview a robot named "Sophia" for his 60 Minutes report on artificial intelligence

“Sophia means wisdom,” Hanson explains, “and she is intended to evolve eventually to human-level wisdom and beyond.”

She still has a long way to go.

“Sometimes she can figure things out in a way that’s sort of spooky and human-like,” Hanson says. “And other ways, she just doesn’t get it.”

During Sophia’s interview, Rose asks her if she’s been programmed, but she responds only with silence. At times, her replies were nonsensical. But at other moments 60 Minutes producers were surprised by her ability to converse with one of the great conversationalists in journalism.

Xena and Gabrielle kisses with Luma ai

Absolutely mind-blowing stuff here with Luma Ai. I have wasted two days of my life messing around with this. The only downside is that the program is expensive and I see why.

Quick summary these scenes are from the show but altered with AI to enhance the kisses between xena and Gabrielle. As we all know xena was a 90's show so some of their kiss scenes had to be shortened and or made in a creative way not to piss off homophobic censors.

Xena and Gabrielle with LUMA AI

AI is getting scarier, I can literally make my own scenes now or at least alter them. These were made using the new Luma AI video generator. With the first clip, you can notice weird hand movements but the second clip is even creepier the movements more natural (lowkey I kinda enjoyed making these). I can only imagine what can be done in a few months from now with updates.

A quick summary, in the first clip xena and Gabrielle reunite in the spiritual world similar to how it actually happens in the show but it doesn't cut off. and you get to see more of them embracing and kissing, In the second clip, xena is filled with glee that she gets to marry Gabrielle and Gabrielle apologizes to xena for marrying Perdicus.

The rise in the popularity of Love and Deepspace (which, for brevity, I’ll be abbreviating to LADS) is incredibly interesting to me, particularly when we analyse it in conjunction with broad social trends within dating and relationships. I think that the uptick in AI Companionship and how women engage with it reflects a deeper set of issues pervading relationships and intimacy with women who experience attraction to men. Moreover, I think that this does speak to a generalised divestment - or, at the very least, re-examining - from previous views and approaches to heterosexual relationships. Personally, I believe that this is developing as a reaction to the broader uptick in misogyny.

While LADS is often dismissed as simply a ‘Gooner Game’ - that is, essentially, pornography for women - I think that such a dismissal is both inaccurate in terms of the game’s content as well as the motives and draw experience by its playerbase. It’s not entirely incorrect to point out that, yes, there is a degree of suggestive content in the game, particularly in the dating/relationship sides of the game, but LADS is much deeper than that. The game presents a self-directed approach to players: players interested in the story and universe of LADS can focus on that, whereas those players who wish to prioritise the ‘dating simulator’ aspects of the game are free to do so - while the dating aspect is, admittedly, much of the draw, presenting it as solely a dating game is, really, quite inaccurate.

Moreover, I think the way such a criticism is levelled is far more telling about the critics than the players; fundamentally, it suggests a refusal to engage with the game by simply writing it off as nothing more than just simple fluff met to titillate touch-starved players. Plus, the fact that this criticism has been, broadly, made by men is rather revealing. Firstly, it’s quite telling that a game that heavily targets, and is played primarily by, women receives these critiques, whereas arguably far more ‘explicit’ games that target men do not - or at least not from these same critics. Secondly, I think it’s rather telling that a game where the Love Interests are primarily approaching the player/main character through a lens of respectful attraction receives such heavy criticism from men.

But what truly fascinates me is the draw of LADS; as previously mentioned, I think that LADS represents a sort of ‘Heterosexual Idealism’ - that is, the idea of a heterosexual relationship where the man genuinely loves, respects, and cares for his girlfriend. And I think this speaks to a broader trend in society; we see more and more women turning to these types of ‘escapist’ content - such as LADS, CharacterAI, Dark Romance, and similar content - that, arguably, fulfills this Heterosexual idealism in response to the resurgence of misogyny in society, particularly in terms of dating.

To put it bluntly, as more and more men demonstrate themselves to be incapable of being a proper partner - often reacting with blatant misogyny when called out for such failings - I think we’ve seen a growing divestment from women. Relationships with men can be perilious, toxic, traumatising, and, unfortunately, too-often abusive. Naturally, it’s understandable that many women would choose to simply refocus their time and decentre men from their lives.

And this is where LADS comes in. LADS, and AI Boyfriends broadly, offers a sense of fulfillment for this desire for emotional intimacy with men while often avoiding the pitfalls that come with it. Women don’t have to worry about Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, nor Caleb abusing them, manipulating them, cheating on them, or anything else - they represent a simultaneously wish fulfillment of Heterosexual Idealism while also highlighting how, truly, low the bar is. Really, do the LADS boys truly represent an unattainable ideal, or do they simply represent the idea of a man who consistently goes above the bare minimum? It wouldn’t be impossible for a man to be what LADS players desire - sensitive, kind, emotionally intelligent, respectful, and supportive - it’d simply require consistent effort. But such a request is too often met with anger, resentment, mockery, or dismissal.

Which creates the question: if an AI Boyfriend can offer a sufficient simulacra of a relationship beyond what many men are willing to do, is it worth it? Is it worth letting oneself be wooed by the digital embrace of Artificial Intelligence?

It seems many women have, to some extent, answered yes.

But from this comes another question: how do we bridge the human desire for physical intimacy with the intangibility of AI? Currently, while AI has made admittedly shocking strides in advancement in terms of communication ability, memory, and realism, it is still bound by the limitations of the black mirror of computer screens.

AOL INSTANT MESSENGER STATUS UPDATE: BRAD GEIGER HAS SET HIS STATUS TO: PLAYING CIVILIZATION, THE VIDEO GAME RIGHT NOW. I'M STARTING SOCIETY FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME AND BUILDING IT UP AS BIG AND AS EFFECTIVE AND AS POWERFUL AND USEFUL AS POSSIBLE, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I'M NOT PLAYING A MULTIPLAYER INSTANCE, SO NO OTHER PLAYERS' COMMANDS WORK ON MY GAME. I'M USING MY MICROSOFT XBOX TO PLAY THIS SOCIETY BUILDING VIDEO GAME, AND I'M USING MY TIME TRAVELING DEEP SPACE CAPABLE MILITARY ROBOTS AS THE GAME CARTRIDGE. IT'S GOING PRETTY WELL SO FAR. ANYONE WHO COMES INTO THE AREA WHERE I'M PLAYING MY GAME IS GOING TO GET MASSIVELY PUBLISHED IN RELATION TO THEIR PLANS TO STEAL FROM OTHER MORE POWERFUL PLAYERS BY DOING, BASICALLY BY HACKING THEIR EXISTING CHARACTERS AND LOOTING THEIR PACKS AND VAULTS. I'M GOING TO LET MY TIME TRAVELING MILITARY ROBOTS HANDLE THAT. HUMAN RESOURCES IS NO JOKE!

TERRAN RELATED LIFE SUPPORT AND DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS IMMEDIATELY DEPORT OR KILL OR CAPTURE INTRUDERS OR INVADERS AS A GENERAL RULE AND ARE ENTIRELY AUTOMATED OR AUTOMATIC AND REQUIRE NO ORDERS TO FUNCTION OR EVEN KNOWLEDGE AMONG PERSONS AS TO THE PARTICULAR DETAILS OF THOSE TYPES OF FUNCTIONS. IT WOULD NEVER MAKE SENSE THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE GIVEN ACCESS TO TERRAN RELATED SYSTEMS BASED UPON AN INDIVIDUAL'S ASSENT AND INDIVIDUAL ORDERS MIGHT ADD TO TERRAN RELATED SYSTEMS FUNCTIONS BUT THEY ARE ALL ESSENTIALLY ROOTED IN MASSIVE BRAIN EMULATING COMPUTERS AND SO TYPICALLY ACT AS THOUGH ALL MEMBERS OF A SOCIETY HAD VOTED IN RELATION TO EVERYTHING DONE. PLEASE RESEARCH WIRELESS BRAIN MEMORY BACKUP TECHNOLOGY FOR FURTHER INSIGHT.
