Mmm.. I might like the idea of some hot sounding librarian, instructing me in history.

Or maybe Bob Villa walking me through a woodworking project out in the workshop.

How about R. Lee Ermey (Gny. Sgt. Hartman / Full Metal Jacket) motivating me to get my lazy ass up and run my morning 5 miles.

Just a few thoughts ....

100% correct.

You don't know what you don't know.

They can literally do anything in your name, masquerading as you.

This, and legal cases. How do you prove it wasn't you when they have "you" on recording?

Also children can be lured: "Your mommy sent me, hear her voice now.."

etc

The possibilities are terrifyingly endless. I was just at the other tard's thread and some idiot was calling people in their 40's "old". It used to be older people envied younger people, but right now young people are jealous of us, because they know they will never live to be any old age themselves, they're all dying young and their quality of life greatly diminished!

These inventions are only gonna get worse. I have a worse one in mind but I won't share it: it would destroy all life as we know it. And bill gates would be the tard to ask musk to implement it. No, thanks!
