57:33 - Personal Take on AI Companions
Counter-argument to Weinstein's position from a pragmatic, harm-reduction perspective. Discussion of how modern society is fundamentally isolating and dystopian, with people facing suicide, addiction, and extreme loneliness. Argument that if an AI companion - whether a deceased grandmother avatar or a Pokemon-like character - helps someone get through the day better than alcohol or drugs, there's no moral problem with it. Prediction that grandmother avatars won't succeed due to uncanny valley effects, but that fictional AI companions will become popular subscription services.
