Quote: An extremely humanlike robot made a public appearance today (June 15) here at the Global Futures 2045 International Congress, a futuristic conference focused on the technological singularity.
Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro, director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University, Japan, described some of his efforts to develop lifelike androids. But there were two Hiroshi Ishiguros onstage: the living, breathing one and a robotic lookalike. The bot's human resemblance was striking, even down to its tiny movements and blinking eyes. Well....David is not far behind....   ---- Barry The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran http://www.ambientonline.org/ |

"I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe... Noodle bars on fire off the shoulder of Akihabra. I watched cosplayers glitter in the dark near the Nintendo Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like [coughs] tears... in... rain. Time... to die..." ---- To laymen, software development is something akin to wizardry. Neither time, nor effort are involved. If software is missing features they want, or has bugs, it is solely because someone has been too lazy to wave their magic wand. |

If you want to have sex and your sexbot doesn't, and you command her to do it anyway, is it abuse? Is it cheating if you own 2 or more sexbots? What if they have sex with each other and won't with you? If it runs away do you call the police or the repo men? Is it bigamy if you have a wife and then buy a sexbot? What if SHE gets a male sexbot, is it divorce time?

Will my Android run on Android
Or will it run iOS? Will we call it a person, It's all a bloody mess! Will we marry merry Fembots Or stick to flesh and bone? Who needs a lover if you can Get laid by your iPhone? If you shoot and android in the head And drop it to the floor Will policemen come to visit Or repairmen knock your door? Will you dump your lawful spouse And go buy 2 or 3? Will your spouse then go sue you Call it android bigamy?
