Oh, some of the people that built it considered the implications a-plenty. One of my college Physics profs drank herself to death over her involvement in it. Peace, Dr. Oliver...

We knew it was a bomb, but we thought it would just be a big boom. Before implementing it we didnt really think about what came later. Or that they would have a nearly infinite growth potential for bigger bombs.
True. People like Oppenheimer didn't realize the nature of the genie they were letting out of the bottle until it was too late.
Which is sort of my point. Even though there isn't a working concept for sentient androids, sex workers or not, you know it is going to happen if we aren't careful. You also know that if we do make them, as is our usual MO, we will do with them what humans do with every new gizmo. We will make it kill people, or we will involve it in the sex trade.

You know they call him Bender because he can get his legs behind his head right? Use your imagination from there. That image will see you in your dreams.

On the other hand, one thing to think about is the unintended consequence of fewer gigs for musicians(as if the DJ situation isn’t bad enough)due to the fall-off in attendance at hook-up bars. Once again, automation ruining everything.
Not as new an idea as you might think. Check out the synopsis of Act I of "Tales of Hoffman" (1876). A man falls in love with a mechanical doll that he thinks is human. Music by Offenbach.

"Have Mercy, Mr. Kaiser"
That was cool, and the artwork reminds me of The Simpsons.
The rest of the album reminds me sorta of Rush.

This is why you have not seen @5StringBlues around much lately.
He's been getting his stuff together.

Well, the album was commissioned by Matt Groening, and the artwork was from his “Life In Hell” period.
I was more of a Pris fan myself, it was the punky thing...
But yeah, not a new concept...
Double dipping?
This topic should not be any surprise...
At least technology has evolved...wait, this was the future...
