What about locally run from someone you get to know and trust? Like our Lemmy instances, and eventually if the human and e-partern want to have e-kids they can host their own, who eventually grow up and meet someone they like to spend their time together.
Imagine your e-partern inviting you to dinner with their server admins, it would ve pretty cute.
see that’s the problem. if they can not exist without infrastructure that you either control or pay someone to control, they are 100% dependent on you. if we assume the agi idiots are actually right for a moment and autocomplete can indeed achieve sentience, if you fell out of love they would still not be able to leave without your consent.
Well, I could build a little power station, where itself has control over
But yeah, of course I can always pull the plug - but I could also always cancel a subscription or force a delete of its memory, because of privacy rights
Why is that worse?
because of the power imbalance. if you run them locally they’re dependent on you to live. it’s like marrying a pet.
I’m not sure, if I would like to run a potential e-gf on a remote server, trusting a company to keep the service live
If people are that emotionally involved, it seems just naturally, that they like…wanna live together
And the power imbalance will always be there.
On one side is a human being on the other side a statistical db/sentence generator

So doesn’t really matter if it’s remote or local…
