The same thing that made phones bigger, bandwidth wider, and probably one of the biggest uses of AI.

Horny people want sex without other people. In this case, sexbots.

Not to mention that they say they don’t have to abide by local laws because they aren’t located there.

All they would have to do is turn location sharing off, and change passwords. More likely they would talk about it and agree to split rather than just run off. You know, like adults.

My partner and I share locations. We check sometimes how far away from home they are when walking the dog, or coming from work. Also handy when one of us “loses” their phone and the other can see it’s at home/in the car/at work. But we have trust, and don’t need to check where the other is spending time.

I think in Finland it is a basic utility like power and water. It is certainly priced like that.

“it won’t bother me, I’ll be dead before then” – boomers.

That’s how I did it for years . Turn the heat down when it starts popping and take it off the heat when it slows down.

It’s also possible that they work people until they die, as all the AI from companies communicate and if you get fired from one, you can’t get work anymore. People are a resource that keeps regenerating after all.

When manual workers were replaced by robots, they were told to “retrain and reskill” to get new jobs.

Perhaps these CEO’s can retrain to be plumbers, there’s good money there.

I know many people, including me, that fall victim to the manipulation of advertising.

Back in the olden days, it was “here is my product, and this is the price, if you like it buy from this store” Now it’s not just the actual ad, it’s product placement in tv and movies, celebrity endorsement, influencers, and all that.

Just remember that advertising costs money, and that is in the price of the product. Products that don’t advertise can easily be better value.

I remember the bananas. They were 1-2 dollars a kilo for a long time. Then there was flooding and storms on the banana farms. Prices went up over 10 dollars a kilo. People complained but were told, it was the natural disaster and it’s going to come down. Years later bananas haven’t been cheaper than 4 dollars a kilo.

Supermarkets found the sweet spot where people would still buy bananas, and they make the most profit.
