The future of chastity belts

Greatcornbow

This is a new thread to see how people envisage chastity devices etc developing in the future: new styles, devices, features, locking systems etc, and also to what exient they may become increasingly worn in the context of the development of KH/wearer relationships/situations and generally.

I think it will be a lot about phone control or fingerprints of the KH.

I think that not. The belt will be allways in watter, far away from charger and simple for possibility of loooong term usage. My oppinion is that the future is 3D printing stainless steel.

Greatcornbow

Laura Yes - great ideas there.

yes, that's exactly what i was thinking, i think it will play a big role in the future.

in general, i think that the classic padlock will disappear at some point. the wearers certainly want something that represents the special bond to the keyholder and the keyholders are certainly worried that keys can get into the possession of others. i think in the future, a lot of attention will be paid to the fact that the belt can really only be opened by the designated keyholder.

I think the focus should shift to accurate measurements and custom-shaped belt parts, e.g. 3D scanning of the body and adaptive manufacturing of the parts.

Ines

I think that most of development should go towards 3D scanering of the body to improve the fit of the belt and safety too.
I think that steel and "old type" keys can not be replaced.

Tjc

Ines I also agree that 3D scanning and perhaps more advanced materials will make better and easier to wear belts. I think current high security (dimpled or multi axial) keys are sufficient but could be supplemented by a small LCD display that showed the time since the last unlock. This would allow easy verification that duplicate keys had not been used and might be a better verification that the single use seals. Any unlock using Bluetooth from a phone of a KH fingerprint would be less secure that a good lock and key.

Sentient AI integration with the belt, allowing for keyholder functionality and confirmation of wearer consent, conforming to established ethical standards.

WriterAlexis Forgive my pedantry, but I think a sapient AI would be more useful than a sentient one. Or one that is both but that seems like it would cause more problems than it would solve.

Greatcornbow

WriterAlexis I am not clear on the distinction between the two.

Nor am I. But either sounds promising. How to program I wonder?

Regardless, AI is coming regardless of what we may think we want. And it will be mining data from the rest of our wearables/medical devices. I imagine nearly everything in our wardrobes will be connected at some point.

WriterAlexis Sentience is the ability to expereance feelings (pleasure/pain, joy/suffering ext) while sapience is the ability to perform abstract reasoning (logic, anticipating future events based on passed expereance). Most animals are sentient but not sapient as best as we are able to tell, though there are a few species other than humans that might be.
The truth is, we are nowhere close to making a computer program that is either, the ones the tech industry has been calling AIs are really only very rudimentary and highly specialized virtual intelligence at best. That said, for the application you suggested, a specialized VI might be all you would actually need.

It doesn't really matter how far we presently are, it is coming, and I believe it will be happening in my lifetime. Nothing short of a Butlerian Jihad would stop it now.

No insult, what the industry hawkers of AI are selling are mostly "next word predictors", aka ChatGPT.

Or as many knowledgeable, doped out (pushed by magnitudes) autocorrect as you know from your mobiles,

These algorithms "hallucinate" only so far, as "hallucinate" has become a "term" for LLM ML scientists nowadays.

Anyway, "AI" does have it's uses, but they ain't the ones the public is sold on via the big AI hype.

Laura

You don't need an LCD display, just a communication port that lets you read info with another device

Tjc

Laura Would you use wireless like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or a physical port you plug into with a cable like USB?

Joh

I also the 3D Scans incooperate with 3D prints. I also think other strong and flexible Material will be used for more comfort because they will better to the Body Shape.
With any electronic device I see the chalenge to get in water Proof for a Long time.
Boimetric system are Not as secure as a Key. They need some inaccurasy otherwise it will refuse access most of the time. Also you can overcome finger print sensor easely with a finger print e.g. Glas AS the Chaos Computer Club has Show already for several years.

Laura

Tjc Cable. Because power supply

Tjc

Laura I agree, a cable connection would require less power and therefore less battery in the belt itself than wireless. But it will be harder to make the connector waterproof and to prevent the connector from getting full of dirt or soap. There would need to be some sort of waterproof, maybe screw-on cap.

Laura

Tjc But it will be harder to make the connector waterproof and to prevent the connector from getting full of dirt or soap

Have you ever seen a waterproof phone? The connector is closed with a rubber plug

I think you are over complicating things. Chastity belts have far, far less bandwidth requirements than a phone so a Qi charging solution plus NFC communication could facilitate completely close-range, wireless communication and charging. Couple that with a magnetic attachment like the Apple Watch charger and you can have a fully enclosed housing without any outside ports.

Why a Batterie at all in the belt. If you need to Open it Connect it to the cable and Power and digital connection is done.
If you want record some Sensor Data during No Connection a little batterie would be sufficient. This would keep the belt flat.

Laura

Instead of a cable to the belt, you could plug a cable into the occipital lobe to feed sensory information from the Matrix. Then chastity belts become merely a matter of programming.
