All those “reasons” and “logic” are all well and good, but is a lost cause, we want our sexbots NOW
You’ll be sorry. I have it on good authority they do ot wash your paint brushes afterward.
Ah, oh :(, carry on them.
Your Ralph Kramden like scheme is going down, Skald.
Funny you should say that. The first thing I thought of was this story I read in sci-fi porn collection (the name of which escapes me as does the name of the collection :()
about the future in which robots are consider preferable to mere women and are far more exspensive. So a mere paints herself blue (make perfect sense if it’s desirable to not be human) attaches leads to her head (see above) and makes a living pretending to be a robot.
There are enough humans willing to be sex slaves. If we can make ones that want something…or ones that can want to be a sex slave, well why not?
You must give Dopers discounts. That is all.
He’d go out of business then.
He has half a million of them. There are plenty for others.
Just to say that this theme has been explored quite extensively by Clifford Pickover in several of his fiction and non-fiction works. He addresses all sorts of moral and ethical dilemmas in a very insightful way.
Now, would my money be better spent on one $100 hookerbot, or one hundred $1 hookerbots? And I’d like to buy a redheaded one if you please.
Really? Like the way men are mocked for having hot waitresses /hot female secretaries / hot female anything else working with/for them?
Assuming the hookerbots are competent painters, and successfully passing as human, I think guy mocking would only happen if the price was known. And even then a good chunk of guys would still be high-fiving and saying “Yeah, but totally worth it dude! Way to go!”
Since the LMDs appearance can be changed at the user’s whim, I do not understand either why you chose to specify “redheaded” or why you did NOT specify gender.
I bet you lost a sale on that one. I’m glad I’m not financially involved in this Titanic Deck Chair Rearrangement.
In the first place I’m not selling any of the hookerbots. I don’t trust anyone but me with them. They are programmed to return to base 24 hours after every rental and to self-destruct if prevented.
Second, I was just pointing out that the bots can look like anybody from Shelly Radley to Adolf Manjou.
In the third place my finances are secure. On an entirely separate trans-dimensional raiding trip, I kidnapped Ronnie Raymond 5 nanoseconds before he exploded, healed his wounds with my handy-dandy Purple Ray, and brainwashed him to do my bidding. Where do you think I get the unobtainium I need for the continua device & such?
1.) What if I want to rent them for longer?
2.) So, I can extort giant amounts of money from you simply by threatening to kidnap a large enough percentage of your hookerbot population? (I.e., you don’t pay up, I don’t release them, they explode themselves, you’re stuck having to replace a significant part of your hookerbot fleet.)
Don’t annoy him, he thinks he’s Donald Trump. The next girl you meet at a bar may be one of these glowing spine bimbos, programmed to explode at the Worst Possible Moment. :rolleyes:
Don’t worry, the hookerbots will be first in line when I start the resurrection.
I don’t have enough hair to be trump.
Good thing I’m a straight woman who won’t be doing much drinking any time soon 'cause she’s on anticoagulants, then. 
You don’t have to have hair to be trump, just belong to the best held suit.
