There has to be like a pipeline from people who are furries to the cannibal community. If you think you're a tiger, if you're like, I like to pretend I'm a tiger, that's what tigers aren't eating vegetables.

Well, that gets back to the bigger thing. To lock them up. Well, this guy is a cannibal fetishist. Would it be okay to make an extremely detailed VR simulation of him eating those kids? Probably not. Probably not.

Well, the truth is it's kind of all of those. It's partly to punish. It's partly to rehabilitate. It's partly just to protect the public from future crime.

man it's going i'm not entirely sure i so for example like i've never used a vr headset for you know i've played video games even though i know you you don't care for them but like i won't play them with a headset because to me there's something fundamentally off about like being totally dead to the world that way like you're jumping fully into it and you're disengaging from reality to me that is a step up from just like oh i'm holding a controller on the couch very different

And there's some, but it's going to be a bigger and bigger question because the tech for this is only going to get better overall. And as one of you said, like AI is going to increase its potential a lot because you can use that to auto fill in all the details in it. So it's going to get more and more realistic and there's going to be people who spend more and more of their time in it.

And I guess I have to say like, it feels like, This is probably one of the best use cases for it is someone in prison. And it has been pointed out that prison can be bad enough. It makes a lot of people worse. They kind of go nuts there. And if you can use VR to make them relatively more normal or more sedate, it's probably not the worst use case for it. And it might even be cheaper.

I'm not sure. As you say, it's like, what do we use prison for?

Yeah, prison is just really like a lifetime stint in a web cafe.

kept them alive it's very funny reading one of the quotes in this Guardian article is this person who says this Ortega guy was using the headset and was visiting like was viewing the Eiffel Tower basically a transformative scene for Ortega was sitting around the Eiffel Tower you see tourists regular people going to and from work he said and that's when it hit me I want to live life like that I deserve it I owe it to myself

on the one hand it's good he reached this realization he shouldn't do crime on the other hand i feel like he was able to see people doing things like that in real life and apparently that didn't make the impression on him he had to do it in the vr video game to actually experience this there's something very bizarre about that what what if you what if you use the headsets but you had to force them to do just educational stuff like go through museums oh

Or do extremely tedious stuff. You have to mow a lawn that the grass grows back instantly.
