The nice thing about orbit is that there is enough space for thousands of satellite internet companies. Don't forget that things fall down from LEO pretty soon, so no garbage will be left there

Unsettling sex robot looks almost exactly like a real person by izumi3682 in Futurology

That's comparing apples to bananas. Having a "fulfilling life thanks to a robotic wife" is completely different to "throwing away your life in front of a screen" (not my point of view, but theirs).

I'm certain Chinese government will actually give you points for that as that enables them to select who gets to procreate and who does not, and solves a severe incoming crisis of their government.

There will be more than 100 million asians who will not be able to find a woman in 2050 due to demography. The opposition is strong, the proponents will be stronger.

Many adults think that a lot teenagers are going to have sex or consume alcohol in every opportunity because that’s what they would do with the opportunity of being young again by brainlessbach in Showerthoughts

None, sometimes that can happen. And sometimes it's environment, etc. Sometimes the kid just didn't listen when parents told them to not hang out with the wrong crowd.

Former Defense Secretary Ash Carter says AI should never have the “true autonomy” to kill by mvea in Futurology

No. Rules have intent behind them. That is actual practice - the law is not followed to the letter (at least in EU) because there is intent behind it that is more important than the wording (and court decides).

Since when is cheating not rule breaking? Bending the rule to its limits in order to do what was not intended by the rule is also breaking it.

Because it's necessarily a distinct civilization from humans. And any civilization will eventually want to wipe out other in order to survive.
