But an employee to cook, clean, shop, organize, and maintain good relations with the relations will still have a price above rubies.
Actually, I think your misogynist fantasy will prove to be attractive only to an addled few ... and those will be the subjects of the type of business mentioned in the article's closing paragraph: cleaning up for the "lonely dead" who are discovered when they reach a critical stage of decomposition.
Woah! slow down TC. It isn’t “my” mysogynist anything. I never said word one I liked the idea. I pointed out the discussion has taken place for decades and if you do not think it’s happening, you need to read up. Because actual scientists have been working on the tech for years. The same tech that lets you mind control a computer screen or an aircraft a’la DARPA will let you do the voodoo youdoo with a mental sex partner.
Again, I did not say ANYTHING about approving, backing, wanting or anything else so you might wanna relook at that ‘your’ mysogynist fantasy thing.” It ain’t mine. It the way the technology and society are headed.
That said, if I took that the wrong way I apologize up front. If not, see above.
I fear you are wrong. Many man are choosing the porn route now. How many would do it if they had their own robot?

Those type of “employees” are in short supply lately. The shopping they can do, but forget about the rest of it :P
