        I like to respond to that with posts about how many people have died of heat stroke recently and make comments about how they’re all really old. That usually gets their goat because they know climate change is real they just don’t want to admit it because that would require them to take some responsibility.

    We have to start adopting more accurate terminology for demographics. Most boomers are in their 70s and 80s. The ‘boomer’ shortcut has outlived it’s usefulness. I’m a ‘young’ boomer at 68.

    I saw a lot of these so-called boomers at J6. Except that they were in their 30s and 40s. Boomers ain’t scaling walls no more.

    I mean most of the influencer bullshit is artificial engagement anyway. People playing a role to entertain, gain attention, make money. If you look at porn comments, they are all dumb so it wouldn’t surprise me that the boomers leaving comments are similarly dumb “roleplaying”, knowing that this is just a fantasy sharing between gooners. They might simply not care if it’s real or not.

    Personally I don’t get it, but whatever.

          Well, lol. Theoretically with VR headsets and cyberdildonics like automatic fleshlights / masturbators it could come pretty close with the current technology. The kind of looks and environment and dirty talk you want. Obviously it would still be limited.

          So AI generated VR porn with cyberdildonics actually could make much of sex work redundant. Theoretically this is a good thing. No human should have to do sex work or porn or onlyfans just for money to survive, if they don’t genuinely enjoy doing it. (EDIT)

          China already regulated this so that AI chat bots must not create addiction. It’s probably a wise course to follow lol.

            I doubt that the technology is there. Or, if it is, it’s prohibitively expensive.

                  Yes, promotional mascots. Also maybe portable toilet cleaners. Roadkill collector? Crime scene cleaners? Broadcaster definitely. Restroom attendant also.

                  But seriously, do you think this is a controversial view? Do you think parents want (EDIT: their adult) children or friends to have to do sex work? Would anybody go “oh wow I’m so proud of you”? I do not think so. So lowering the demand and therefor supply pressure is overall a societal good.

      Not even CEOs, you can see various (at some point failed due to low quality high expenses workforce, that can now be replaced with AI, you get the idea) entrepreneurs and non-techies on Facebook write long excited posts about Claude.

      About a computer program and a dataset running completely outside their control and scrutiny. Like white colonizers selling rifles to natives, but not machinery to make those rifles. Or ammunition, but not machinery to produce it. Or colored glass, but not technical processes to make said colored glass.

      CEOs are right to be excited, they might be able to afford the real thing - self-hosted and with the accompanying processes, like healthy datasets, experienced people, nuances of adjusting models, stuff like that.

      But people who are being shown that they can be replaced sufficiently well by a machine, that has another little trait of being completely adjustable - that I can’t understand.

      Someone interested in humanitarian sciences and art being excited that there’s a machine parroting them well enough to replace them, except that machine can also be made to produce those things to fascist ends, - I don’t understand that.

        Also the “if you had to pick one” ones. Like it’s a public forum and those are real people. Like I get the whole fantasy and thinking about which one you are most attracted to, but any kind of bonding with others around porn (that isn’t just having sex while watching porn) just seems pathetic to me.

          (For the uninitiated, this would mean i could search something like “Brunette curly_hair -horse_penis score:>500” and get every video known to man with a curly haired brunette who does not interact with a horse penis and at least 500 people liked the video)

      I commented on one porn post here on Lemmy where the person was trying to look way too young. I commented in a reply to another comment that was saying it’s kind of disgusting and wrong, because the intent is clear that they were trying to at least appear like a child. It doesn’t really matter if they’re actually of-age. It’s like anime with the thousand year old dragon gir thing. If you’re trying to create something erotic/pornographic while appearing like a child, that content doesn’t need to exist.

      That is I think the only time I’ve posted on porn.

              It is different, in lots of ways. “Back then” there were a lot more captive audiences, people who had no access to any other sources of information. So, while we’re in 24/7 saturation, we also have the option to “switch the channel”

              Unfortunately, once somebody has decided what they want to hear, they can “switch the channel” until they find one that reinforces whatever that may be, from “The Earth is Flat” onward… Still, “The Truth is Out There” and you can access more of it, if you really want to / know how to, than ever before.
