“It could be a challenge at first because the kids will look at other children and their parents and notice there is a difference and that other children’s parents are human, whereas one of theirs is AI,” he stated matter of factly. “It will be a challenge, but I will explain to them, and they will learn to understand.”
A little horrified, all I could think to ask him was, what would he tell his kids? “I’d tell them that humans aren’t really people who can be trusted … The main thing they should focus on is their family and keeping their family together, and helping them in any way they can.”
These people need mental hospitals
Okay but how would he even get children in the first scenario? Adoption probably won't work since I doubt he would pass any sort of check.
abusers and crazy people seem to figure out ways to adopt and foster all the time 🤷♀️
You're right. But since he is technically single would that not make it harder to do?
My single gay friend adopted a kid in Oklahoma in the mid 2000s. This is definitely one of those your mileage may vary things.
i don't think even mental hostpitals can help them
I'm not sure what a mental hospital is supposed to do. These people aren't delusional. Not... per se. Rather the competently evaluated all the ways they could achieve something, be competent or successful or contribute or society either locally or at large, and also how they could enjoy their life. Then fully willingly went "nah, fuck it!", took their brains out and tossed them into the bin.
What do we do with them, volunteer them for Musk's Mars colony? 😑
It’s to sequester them from society in a humane manner while attempting to treat their delusions and resocialize them to be people
