Would you want to go to Westworld?
May 17, 2018 at 8:07 pm
Would you want to be a guest at Westworld, where you could have sex with, rape, torture or kill mindless hosts (robots) that have passed the Turing test?
Why or why not? If they're not conscious, you're not doing anything wrong.

Well not now. 👀
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Only the threat of Bernarnold's consciousness virus becoming active and the $40k per night price tag keeps me from seriously wondering about it. Well, that and the prospect of sleeping exposed to the elements.

I;d prefer going to westworld at season two. I can get all the mindless sex I want from real people...but those bots are throwin it -down- now..in ways that people just don;t wanna.

In theory yeh I would love to experience murder and raping realistic robots with no victims harmed, it's basically a really futuristic version of GTA. But even in that circumstance it's not like I'm a proper sadist I probably wouldn't get much pleasure out of killing if the robots were all crying and begging for their lives. In this aspect it would be better if it was virtual reality and they could fight back so it would be some sort of a challenge. You could get into a shootout with the police and so on. I probably could get pleasure out of rape because I have experience in role playing that anyway.
In practice I'd probably be too wary about what if it's a real person I'm killing or raping, if the robots are that realistic. I'd also be worried about the practical reality during the rape that my penis is in a mechanical man made robot, full of moving parts. The dangers of the new technology going wrong.
I haven't watched westworld though so I can't really answer in relation to that show, I'm just picturing something like the terminator but with lots of cyborgs instead of 1 or 2 and instead of it killing you, you can do whatever you want to them.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

No.more so than I want to fantasize about those activities! Does not turn me on! I believe life is is like baking a cake. At the end you have to eat the cake. Unless you have dementia.

Why would you want to do that when there are real people to do it to?

I wouldn't want to be a guest at Westworld. I'd want to be the worker at the facility helping to start the revolution!
