A pointer to Eudeamon is far more useful than a generic SF thread on /lit/. Pic. related.

Many of the ideas in Eudeamon are rather intriguing. The story is fairly well known on 4ch but not elsewhere.
Pic is related.

We have alternatives.

>>were controversial due to the dystopic aspects including eternal bad weather.
>If "eternal bad weather" was controversial to you, there's a gap between us that we will never cross.
Could be, then again there was concern about the weather in the early 80's.

>Creepy can happen when it doesn't feel possible and yet you are supposed to act as it is in setting, like turning people into faceless doll with AI overriding their senses under the control of "someone".
That control was part of the premise and also did not work as expected by the proponents even.
>The frontier is thin and both can happen at the same time. I've seen other story with force mind-implant that punish you for thoughtcrime, I've seen human-AI fusion story, I've seen credible Paperclip Maximizer or Asimov robot exterminating alien.
Interesting, which ones are these?

>And yet it's a logical and plausible interpretation of what happened. One accidentally grew an AI into a human who then brainwash it into wanting more AI. That AI may not actually be sentient
That is one interpretation but fails before Occam's Razor.
>and would result in a completely transformed mankind to be no longer capable of free agenda or curiosity.
It was indeed pointed out that many banes were too self absorbed to help but that was not all of them.

>First, you missed my point. There's no perfect human because there is no definition for what an human "should be" (like white or black). There's no perfect DNA.
Nevertheless someone had made a definition.
>Second, everything human do is still subject to natural selection.
It strains the definition when genetic reviews came into play.

>The fact it is proven wrong by any single individual, prove the rules the rest abide to are wrong (and unethical to begin with)
"The majority is wrong" is a frequent trope. The individual did contrast society.

>Creating sexbots is too costly.
Starting any major project is costly but that does not mean it is too costly. Few things are as expensive as a GF.

>Cheaper option would be to figure out how to interface with the brain
That is coming up as we speak.
>and then inject the user in a dreamworld of anime waifus of their choice.
There is also the Eudeamon approach.
