Ask HN: Complete Deepfake Nudes – The Future?
&gt;  How long until the carnal content is algorithmically produced?<p>I&#x27;ll go you one further,<p>how long until sexual function is algorithmically interpreted and expressed? We may reach the point when human sexual function is seen, or even institutionalized, as a useful zone of concern for e.g. meaningful productivity output toward larger goals.<p>It used to be that you&#x27;d watch movies (or work in a place, IRL) where the businessman would work all day and then head to the club. Instant exhaustion relief.<p>But today&#x27;s work environments are merging with the club, which IMO has been a pretty nice idea and a good way to build on psychological feedback loops. Early in COVID there were lots of funny WFH videos where sensory home life merged with office life, as well.<p>And what is sexual interest--what is sexual interest and activity doing for us? Can we learn to constructively stimulate sexual levels of interest toward some species-level goal beyond simple reproduction?<p>_Algorithmically so_?<p>(IMO a huge portion of society will not allow itself to consciously access this zone of thought, let alone accept it. Not just for religious reasons, but for overriding preferences reasons. There are big, important things that are more important to them than sex. But sex is still vital to humans, and we can&#x27;t let one group&#x27;s preference push helpful things away just because they&#x27;re not used to dealing with them)<p>(2. I could see something like a sexual captcha in a mildly-dystopian future. OK you want free access to a few hours of our service, so select those that most excite you, anonymous person? And instead of stoplights or boats or bicycles in this captcha, you get some REALLY amazing images. Some are wholly, overtly sexual. Others--uncomfortable but FASCINATING?! What...? Why...? Nobody really knows; the algorithm is just algorithming, but here is an energy source, is nobody really expected to tap into it?)<p>Anyway thoughtful post, appreciated
