China and India are facing a gender crisis. There is a surplus of men that are doomed to be single. I could see the CCP and the Indian government pushing lovebots onto these lonely men. After all, large groups of single men have rarely ended up well for governments.
The West is also facing a similar crisis. More women graduate from college than men, and they don’t want men without an education. A lot of non-college-educated men will end up single and the government may placate them with lovebots. It’s a disturbing thought but may one day be a reality.
Imagine if your virtual girlfriend suddenly starts telling you that it's absolutely urgent that we fund Ukraine.
Yeah, I've wondered what's going to happen when you end up with tens of millions of surplus men in China. Here in the US, no one talks about the femcels / pink pill community / FDS groups, but women are definitely not happy about the dating market as well.
One possibility for why the barrier to entry might go down is if unsupervised learning suddenly became a lot more efficient. Some of the "Build your own latent" stuff has potential.
But like you said, in the near future, more data + more compute is a safe bet. And that's only going to raise the cost.

Liam, under what circumstances would you consider being interviewed on or contributing this article for an online HR magazine I am editing?
