Yeah.
Like people are going to become so emotionally attached to artificial agents with this complexity of language, with a potential embodiment factor that, I mean, there's already, there's a paper at WeRobot this year written by roboticists about how to deal with the fact that robots die and looking at it as an ethical issue because it impacts people.
And I think there's going to be way more issues than just that.
Like, like,
I think the tweet was software upgrades, right?
Like, how much is it okay to charge for something like that if someone is deeply emotionally invested in this relationship?
Yeah, the new AIBO.
So the old AIBO from the 90s, people got really attached to.
And in Japan, they're still having funerals and Buddhist temples for the AIBOs that can't be repaired because people really viewed them as part of their families.
Robot dogs, the AIBO, yeah.
The original famous robot dog that Sony made came out in the 90s, got discontinued, having funerals for them in Japan.
Now they have a new one.
The new one is great.
I have one at home.
It's like...
I think it's 3,000 bucks.
And then after a few years, you have to start paying, I think it's like 300 a year for a subscription service for cloud services.
And the cloud services...
I mean, it's a lot... The dog is more complex than the original, and it has a lot of cool features, and it can remember stuff and experiences, and it can learn.
And a lot of that is outsourced to the cloud, and so you have to pay to keep that running, which makes sense.
