There's an OP's mom joke in there somewhere.

I agree that there's a potential for people to lose their sense of purpose when they don't need to struggle to survive. I expect that we'll find that AI is much better at psychology than we are, in a similar way that you can't look at your own eye, using a human mind to study a human mind is probably not the ideal way to study psychology. If we don't really have to worry about sustaining our bodies very much ever again, people might find purpose in the friendships and families that they develop. We might develop relationships with AI that are as fulfilling, or moreso than relationships with other people.

Hackers demanded they stop resisting and pay the ransom.

I visited a town that has a breakfast place called porn and eggs. It was a regular breakfast restaurant like waffle-house but they played porn on a bunch of TVs.

I kind of feel that marijuana isn't that big of a deal that you need titties to sell it. Do they have extra marijuana, is that the issue? Grow less you gold diggers. Like we have some surplus of titties these jokers.

You'd think they'd want short people like submariners.

When I was a kid my father was a very troubled alcoholic. I was visiting him one day and we happened to go to a liquor store, he may have been buying something to drink I can't remember specifically. But we're waiting in line, and all these people are in front of us buying lotto.

He says "Son you know what you call that?", pointing to the scratch off tickets. "That's an idiot tax." I took it to heart being an impressionable kid wanting to make him happy. I've never bought a scratch ticket to this day.

Drink like a fish though.

This isn't something therapy is going to fix. The guy is just going to suffer just like anyone else would that was in his shoes. There's no philosophical do-over, something terrible happened to him. You can't understand emotional pain enough that it doesn't hurt like hell. There's no theory of life that will make everything better. He's going to hurt, and some day when he doesn't hurt anymore he'll miss it.

That's some seriously dark stuff. You hear about animals doing this in the wild, sacrificing the weaker child to neglect to ensure the stronger child or the mother lives. There should be no reason for this in a first world country. If we need to address a potential homicide risk in recent mothers that's maybe something to look into.

Or have your AI be something that you carry around with you, that is able to keep track of the things that you say, and that are said to you. As years go by it would get to know you, maybe not like a friend at first, but as technology improves it could improve as well. There's a great book by Orson Scott Card called Speaker for the Dead that expands on this idea. It's the sequel to Ender's Game, which was popular as well.

What's interesting to me isn't the idea of some AAA game that everyone plays that has the same rules, it's a game that is completely customized just for me. Maybe have the AI that generates it very familiar with my life. It's going to be wild.

My favorite restaurant in Springfield.

We're already there, google is a good example. These types of questions remind me of the writer Pierre Tielhard Du Chardin. He was a Jesuit priest who was exiled to China by the church for his writings. He's the man who predicted the internet, in some very specific ways, way back in the twenties and thirties. His writing is an interesting amalgam of very spiritual thought and a faith that science would bring mankind together to become something together, something greater than the sum of it's parts. If you end up liking that idea you might like some of his non-anthropological books like "The Future of Man". It's amazing how many of the things he predicted about the future of technology have come true.
