This is the kicker. They are a pretty good solution now, but they could be amazing.

At least in my country they need to hammer out a consistent set of rules and laws regarding their use. Last time I checked the vast majority of them are effectively illegal because under current laws they are too powerful to be considered an assisted pushbike, you cant register them as a roadgoing vehicle because they dont have indicators and brake lights and you cant ride them on the footpath because riding on the footpath is against the law.

Which puts them in that lovely legal space of "Does a cop want to fuck with me today?" Fortunately our police tend to be pretty cool on the subject because they know that technically taking it out of your house is illegal which is dumb.

Well yeah, Ash Ketchum with boobs and a vagina would just be weird.

Lets be real here, the "Kid" is 17.

Now I dont know what a healthy father/son relationship looks like because I never had one but it seems to me that knowing "Dad likes blondes with big tits" might be slightly less scarring than being left entirely to your own devices with no oversight and going down a rabbit hole of xvideos fetish porn.

Theres 2 kinds of men in the world. Those that have beaten their dick, and fucking liars. Maybe this shit is weird and creepy, and maybe they have had honest and open discussions about sex and he is trying to give his son healthy attitudes towards it.

Ive told my daughter "Always be nice to the quiet ones and the weird ones. Be nice and be friendly, the extroverts of the world will be fine on their own."

Its really creepy and intrusive. But at the same time, I can find really fucked up porn with literally zero effort.

I mean, if your kid has terrabytes of rough incest bdsm porn people will ask why you werent monitoring their internet use, but monitoring them like this feels like a different kind of weird.

Then you look for the other person at the party standing there back to the wall looking like a deer in headlights and make friends or at least form a D&D group.

And also less likely to be married or in a long term relationship, have a baby momma/daddy or be a hopeless deadbeat who cant keep a job... yet.

It isnt fish in a barrel, its a barrel full of fish.

Id be surprised if he did, but I wouldnt rule it out.

Someone on Reddit called this a while back. General gist was

"Given how poorly his buying of Twitter has gone Id put money on Musks exit plan will be to start his own "A.I" development program, intertwine it with X to the point where they cant be separated and then sell off his new "A.I development platform" to whoever pisses their pants over the letters A.I and writes the biggest cheque"

How many times do I have to qualify that I dont think this is someone who is legit?

Personal Assistants exist so that people who have the means (probably not this guy) dont have to do mundane shit like remember to set alarms and if they are willing to adequately compensate someone for that level of work (which this twit isnt) then go for it.

If I won the lottery, Id have a housekeeper and a lawn guy because although I now dont have anything better to do, I still dont want to do that shit.

If someone wants to offer me $200k a year to handle all his mundane shit and water his bonsai with EXACTLY 30ml of water every 2 days my response would be "Tap, filtered or demineralised?" not "why dont you do it your fucking self?"
