You always provide me with the very best nightmare fuel. We're so goddamn fucked.

Would you have been happier with "Well, of course the socialist is in favor of centrally-planned dating" ?

So does a good wank on the face of it, but that option doesn't seem to sate them. Despite the surface-level focus on sexual gratification, it's functioning as a metonym for a more nebulous and inherently interpersonal thing.

Sex robots that can satisfy that are just more slaves

the only sufficient sex robot is a sex robot the possession of which will make one legitimately feel that one's peers envy one so yes, a slave all of the actual driving frustrations here are homosocial

So a VR where virtual people envy the player character? That would take longer as NPCs would have to be able to pass Turing test to make it look convincing. But I don't see how is that undoable.

apparently people have the same neurological response to seeing familiar characters' faces on the TV as to seeing the faces of lifelong friends, so yeah, our brains are crap enough that that'd probably work

Hopefully by the time AI that can pass Turing test is created it would be able to do everything else as well, because such NPCs in VR would mean total collapse of motivation. Hope those three laws of robotics hold up.

ooh yeah bad news about the three laws of robotics, they're kind of based on a model of language where words are magic that just carry meaning around with them and translate into discrete math about as well as a crayon drawing of an apple translates into calories and vitamins

To be fair to Asimov, the three laws don't work that great in the books either. (Half the stories are about circumventing those in some way). So yeah, we are fucked.
