It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
The fact that he's this openly divorced and has to pay settlements after trying to offer horses for handjobs suggests he wouldn't do that well if he tried to do the "cruising on the USS Titty Coke" thing instead.
He'd be more like "Notch," that /r/dr@ma nazi with walls full of rotting candy in his Beverly Hills mansion and perpetual loneliness because he was too creepy to stop putting off guests at his parties.
He's clearly not someone who can function with human levels of attention and resources. I'd like to see him try and inevitably fail, but you're right, I wouldn't want to put this on anyone, much less models who would experience a lot of harm by being in his presence.
Now if he tried making sex bots, I could live comfortably with that. He'd never be able to create sapient AI.
But I'd still worry about Groxanne.
Ever read about what tends to happen to sex robots at trade conventions only hours, if not minutes, after they're demo'd out to the techbros testing them out?
They get destroyed. There's a lot of creepy nerd rage percolating up in that group of people.
That's why for the sex robots' sake I hope that actual sapience never happens to them under such conditions.
What is it with these breeding fetish weirdos and wanting more sapient beings to exist just to suffer?
Class interests, I think: whether they are fully aware of it or not, line only goes up if there's enough surplus labor producing surplus labor value. The ruling class doesn't add to that value: it feeds on it. Vampire imagery is not new to Marxism, nor is the idea of the ruling class sucking.

I've read stories like this, and worse, where the robots were (CW: "simulated" sexual violence)

almost instantly choked, punched, and torn apart with a stampede-like momentum the moment the techbros at the trade convention got their hands on them.The techbros are not okay.
This reminds me: surely, slaveowners that paid for their slaves treated them well, right?
