    I really don’t understand the dot connection from sexbots existing to women becoming secound class citizens

    It’s the same thinking that leads to “AI will replace programmers/artists/writers” but with extra misogyny. People in power don’t actually believe this garbage, it’s all a marketing gimmick to appeal to losers and incels. Nevertheless, this kind of rhetoric does real societal harm. Same as with musks hyperloop – hype up a fake idea and grab the cash.

      The scary thing is I think some of them (like Muskrat) do believe it… even though they have no idea how AI even works or how to build a robot like in the pic. They just come up with the idea and then hand off all the actual planning to others, and then strut around like roosters in a barnyard feeling oh-so-smart.

      And these rich idiots want this stuff in order to keep all the money for themselves instead of paying an actual human for art/programming/writing (in the case of AI) or so they don’t have to deal with a real human being with their own needs and wants (in the case of a robot ‘wife’). They just don’t want other ‘inferior’ people around them, period.

      Which just goes to show what they think of marriage, I suppose.
