They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

For years, Monet feared eye surgery more than blindness. 🏥
At age 82, cataracts had clouded his vision so badly that he finally agreed to operations.
The surgery restored much of his sight—but left him seeing the world with a bluish tint.

Any progress would be good after so many years of dithering and delay by HES. But it was meant to be early 2026, then Spring, now Summer. Hutton would recognise the glacial pace at which HES moves. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Part of Edinburgh's Radical Road to reopen ahead of James Hutton anniversary
Hutton's Rock is where the founding father of geology arrived at his theory of how and when the world was formed.
