We can of course open a whole new can of worms by asking: might there some day be people who get turned on by robots specifically? Because then it becomes a fetish unto itself.

Who am I kidding. Of course those people already exist.

So the group chat just exploded with a question that we feel can only be answered by a deeper thinker than any of us are.

'Have sex with' seems to imply consciousness, wouldn't it be more correct to say 'use for sex'? It's not like you'd ever say you 'had sex with a vibrator' (generic you, obvs).

If youโ€™re thinking, what can we do? Well, Iโ€™ll tell you one thing you can do: look at the patterns of the past and then REJECT the next big disruptive technology that comes along and seems like an โ€œemperor has no clothes situation.โ€

I think Daniel makes an excellent point, so not trying to detract from that. However, I'd love to try and help make you feel more comfortable and thus more likely to support people who really need it. This thread is a good place to start

After I don't know how many years of following you I forgot why I initially decided to do so (as one does, which is fine), but I imagined it was 'something something software development' or a single really funny tweet.

Now I fucking remember. The fucking Catty. It was 'something something Glasgow'

With the stories of how more than 5,000 streets were named, we are (we think) London's biggest repository of the capital's topographical knowledge.

(That's a lot of big words...)
