I don't if any of you watch the Joe Rogan podcasts, but I've been watching them lately and they are pretty interesting.
Unlike other talk shows, he doesn't just get airhead celebrities or boring academics. He gets a nice cross section of society
everything from rock musicians to nutrition experts to environmental scientists.
Anyway, he had this Yale professor on the other day who was SERIOUSLY discussing the possibility of sex robots in the future
(ie female or male robots custom made to be your ideal mate).
Obviously this would be of MAJOR interest to the bodybuilding community, as most male fans don't get a chance to date fbbs,
and this would be an opportunity for some fans to actually to get something close to the real thing.
But as I was listening to this Yale Professor, I kept thinking that this tech must be still years, or even decades, away. Certainly to, say,
get fbbs who were really convincing and looked like your dream of a Ms Olympia in your own living room.
Its obviously an exciting thought nonetheless. I turn 50 this year, and so perhaps, with a little luck, I will see something like this in my lifetime.
But I was thinking what may be much more realistic and much easier to design, and therefore far more likely to acquire in the near future:
Did any of you see the movie "Blade Runner 2049"? In this movie, the lead character played by Ryan Gosling has a hologram girlfriend.
She is designed to his exact specifications, from her eye color to her hair length to the pitch of her voice, everything. He can see her from
every angle, in perfect 3D. The only thing he can't do is touch her of course. But still, she is incredibly impressive (not to mention useful,
as she has an AI brain and is therefore as much Gosling's assistant as she is his girlfriend).
Imagine the possibilities. You can order some company to customize your hologram fbb girlfriend. They can reverse engineer her from some
WPW video or Muscle Angles video or whatever( eg. my ideal would be 1990s Debbie Minsky in contest shape). And then you've got
your hologram girlfriend, operated by an AI, her dimensions PERFECT (I prefer bulging, tanned contest shape but thats just me), you can see her
in high resolution, in 3D, from every angle. Not sure how sophisticated the AI would be, perhaps rudimentary at first, but with patchees down the
line it could become pretty sophisticated.
I don't thing this is as much as a pipedream as some of you may thing. Thoughts?
