Isn’t allowing the porn industry to be able to use your hardware crucial for widespread adoption? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the fact that Betamax and HDDVD did this was one of the factors for their loss of market share?

There’s an excellent video by technology connections in which he mentions this. Turns out, sort of not true. That said, in the modern day, that 100% is gonna be the case, IMHO. Porn flows like wine anymore, and people aren’t going to want to adopt some weird pornless tech.

Porn flows like wine

I find that it doesn’t necessarily flow freely, but rather is expelled in short bursts

in the early-mid 90s online porn pushed tech to the limit in so many ways. first spammers were serious porn hustlers. from my pov of watching the interwebs develop, porn pushed the multimedia boundaries. and here we are again.

Porn also pushed the advent of secure online monetary transactions.

ha! that reminds me, i had a friend tell me he had to modify their database because they never expected a single transaction to reach that amount. a lot of deep pockets came out of the woodwork back then

ChatGPT/OpenAI also doesn’t allow for AI generated girlfriends as part of their usage policy.

We truly are living in the worse timeline

You can always download something like llamacpp or gpt4all and plug in any gguf-compatible nsfw model from huggingface. OpenAI are a bunch of wankers that dont deserve your cum.

I play elite dangerous in VR as well as several other sims. (Including a proper training sim for RC aircraft with a connected TX.)

If you go full hog with physical switches and everything positioned perfectly…. It can be extremely immersive technology. Like train surgeons immersive.

Porn sounds cheaper and less embarrassing to explain to a date.

Not really. She knows I’m a nerd. Not that I can afford a set up like that, but, I wouldn’t mind it.

Train surgeons does sound pretty extreme and immersive, but I feel like I’m about to be disappointed by a typo
