RE: Play Stupid Games

in #economics7 months ago

There was a time when hearing music required hiring a musician. It was easier to be a successful musician back then, at least successful enough to stay fed and warm.
Then technology let us hear music from anywhere, and 99% of musicians lost their meal ticket, as people took to buying recordings of the most successful/famous/connected/foresighted 1% of musicians.
Now technology's letting us torrent their music for free, and they need to tour, to make money. So we're back to paying them to play to us in person.
Onlyfans is more of the same, in a way. 99% of women getting less attention as technology let's the other 1% capture the market.
I've been following a guy on Twitter, bry.ai who's hoping to mass produce a sex toy which incorporates customisable AI. So it doesn't (as yet) react physically, to what's done to it, it reacts verbally, and in the style/manner/voice/temperament the user has selected.
He's planning to collaborate with onlyfans girls, letting them charge a subscription to users of his product, to also use their voice and mannerisms.
It's like humanity saw extinction on the horizon, and responded by accelerating.

That, and it was possible to be successful locally, now every band is competing globally, and have to outperform the revenue of the pokies.

And women who were complaining about unreal body expectations from models, now have to compete with 100% fake Gen-AI depictions of women.

I am ODing anyway - may as well go out with a bang.
