Robot Brothels, AI Therapists, and the Future of Human Intimacy
This week on the show: some seriously cutting-edge territory. George A talks about what he saw at the Love and Sex with Robots conference in Montreal. Then George K and George A discuss AI companions, embodied LLMs, and the wild intersection of technology and human intimacy. This isn't just about sex robots - it's about the broader question of how AI is reshaping fundamental human experiences. The reality check: If you think this stuff is too niche or weird to matter, give it 5 years. This technology is going to be everywhere - in education, therapy, companionship. The question isn't whether it's coming, it's whether we'll think through the implications before it's too late. This might be one of the most uncomfortable (and important) tech conversation we're not having as a society. Fair warning: This episode gets real, fast. But if you work in tech, security, or just want to understand where we're heading as a species, it's worth your time. Stay tuned to the end to hear about the "door prize" George A from the conference that is gonna make the office Secret Santa…interesting.
