Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Re: SFDebris: Booby Trap
To me that would be exactly the problem with interactive solid holograms. Being able to scan anyone you want and design a personality to it and then... date it. For example, I could scan or make an approximation of a celebrity or even a porn star I like.
In my eyes, it is creepy because it is believable.

Date? No, if I had a holographic Christy Mack I'm not going to waste time "dating."

Re: SFDebris: Booby Trap
Porn stars would license their likenesses out for exactly that. Even stock it with a personality like their own public persona. Not much different in kind from what happens today where porn stars sell sex toys cast from their own anatomy.McAvoy wrote:To me that would be exactly the problem with interactive solid holograms.

Bah. I can download porn for free nowadays without even buying their DVDs which is why I have 100 GB worth.
Joking....
No I am not.
Sex toys like that is physical whereas hologram patterns is digital. So someone will come up with a plan to give out or sell pirated likenesses for the cheap.

Re: SFDebris: Booby Trap
Very likely. But porn companies keep selling porn even though there's an essentially infinite amount of pirated porn available for free today. Don't see why it would be different in the future.
Wow, there's a thought. No money in the future... everyone strives to improve themselves. So the only porn stars will be the ones who do porn because they find it a fulfilling and enriching life. Gotta wonder at the kind of person that will be.

Risa.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
