If you've every been unfortunate enough to see that movie Idiocracy, well this just might be the cure to the stupid plague.
Dammit Lance, why do you have to be so full of delicious, omega-3-rich win? And I thought the Pill was bad for birth rates.
Ah, I dunno. There are times when I'm convinced that the only reason much of our technology even exists, especially the Internet, is thanks to porn. Sure, scientists claim they do all this research to better our lives, but it could just be that their true motivations are that they really simply want to create an interactive sex toy.
What has this world come to, do we really need sex robots?????? As much as I or any other male or female on this board loves the idea of sex - this is just ridiculous and unnecessary.
I'm sure all the fat girls will be protesting the use of sex robots because guys won't use them as practice girls anymore… And vice-versa.
I was wondering about hookers. I bet these robots will be expensive, but I'm sure they would hurt the business. Not like it's a good thing women are on the streets, but I'm thinking more of the legal brothels and stuff. Prepare for a hooker union or something if these actually start appearing...
Wow. Why robots, though, when you'll have your own genetically engineered sheep when you can't find a woman?
So is this gonna be like an Asimo with a FleshLight between its legs? Ugh, I'm thinking too far into this.
Wait, they want to build robots that will evidently be reasonably/fairly intelligent, humanoid, emotional, etc. The best possible use they can think of for it is a sex toy? Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this. Sod the future of robotics, whee for the advancement of sex toys? Shouldn't scientists and robotics experts have something better to do?
Hahahahahah, this will excellent news for that dude who kept popping up in threads in the movie forum discussing the possible TF2 script treatment. He was all into his robot sex and stuff. He liked writing all his posts in a peculiarly numbered fashion too. I think I miss him.
The question is more along the lines of: Shouldn't the robotic experts have someONE better to do? But couldn't this help over-population? Although it'd be bad for japan. They need more youngsters.
I think it has something to do with the that fact that most people would rather have sex with something that looks, feels, smells, tastes, sounds, emotes like a human being than a domesticated barnyard animal. I may be entirely wrong here, though.
Yeah.. I don't know. I mean it's like.. :\ if they have some level of self-awareness that would be like raping a animal or child.. kind of? I imagine they'd be pretty innocent and all. I mean I understand people have fetishes and there's nothing wrong with that because you can't control it. But what makes it bad is like.. when you bring it into real life and there stands the possibility of someone/thing/a self-aware being being hurt in some way.. then it's wrong. If that makes any sense. I mean would they know what they're doing and what it means...? 8( Awh Hell this is too creepy even for me to look into.
