I’m a big fan of standup comedians. In many cases, they offer alternative viewpoints that challenge societal norms.
In that vein, Whitney Cummings has a Netflix special from July 2019 (Can I Touch It?) where the second half is about the growing market for more and more realistic sex dolls and touches on some AI safety issues. TBH, it lacks depth and nuance, but she’s a comedian going for laughs, not meaningful discourse. But I post it here because I do appreciate seeing these issues come up in more mainstream culture.
