Episode Details

In this eye-opening Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins dive deep into how advancing AI is poised to upend the world of sex work — from OnlyFans creators facing massive competition to the potential collapse of traditional porn industries.

They explore real-world examples like sex workers switching to AI-generated content (and seeing 4x revenue jumps), Grok’s “undress” controversies, why AI porn could outperform live-action even for arousal, the decline in young people’s interest in real sex/vices, furry communities as early AI adopters, and what this means for women’s societal power, dating markets, and family formation.

Topics include: personalized AI fantasies vs. real women, why high-earning OnlyFans accounts are often low-effort/impersonal, the “sex cliff” in younger generations, polygamy/polygyny normalization in pronatalist futures, artificial wombs, and wholesome(?) outcomes like women pivoting to homemaking/wifery as a career.

Plus fun tangents: Amelia the propaganda goth girl becoming a right-wing icon, creating an AI Amelia OnlyFans account (RIP idea), their kids reinventing demons/exorcisms via the Basilisk, and why Batman is secretly an open secret among Gotham’s elite.

If you’re interested in AI’s civilizational impact, pronatalism, gender economics, or the future of human intimacy — this one’s for you.

Episode Transcript

Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello Simone. I’m excited to be here with you today. Today we are gonna be doing a follow on to an episode we did recently. And what we’re gonna really dive deep into is what is going to happen to the world of sex work as AI continues to develop.

Specifically, there’s been a number of controversies recently that make it, and this is like, civilizationally changing in terms of society. We live in a world today where if you’re talking about young women, 8% of young women in the United States get an income from OnlyFans. You know, like have an OnlyFans account.

So about one in, one in 10 people you see, just walking around has an OnlyFans account, right?

Simone Collins: Like beats door dashing. I mean, yeah, I, I think most men would be doing this if they could.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Yeah. Would I do in OnlyFans if I could? I mean, I guess, not, not at this age, not at this like, level of public profile, but like, when I was younger I would have you know, so money,

Simone Collins: money, dude. I mean, well, and when you, when people consider and they’re like, well, the, the indignity, the humiliation. [00:01:00] Have you looked at so many jobs, you know, have, have you considered working for the DMV?

Like the things that people go through in respectable jobs? It it, but what they’re subject, look at what people are shouting at ICE agents, people who work for the US government. They’re taking out their seasonal depression disorder or whatever, seasonal affective disorder on these, these poor people like, no, of course you wanna be on OnlyFans.<
