This guy spent about 20k of his own money to build an android. The result is so, so creepy:

Check out some of the vids.

I guess the obvious question to pose to any lonely forumites out there, though, is if you had the resources to buy a robotic woman, would you? (And would you program it, as Le Trung did, to slap you in the face if you grabbed its tits? :lol: )

Quote from Geppetto:

"For those of you who are asking the same questions.

Yes, Aiko has silicone in her entire body.

Yes, Aiko has sensors in her body including her prviate parts, and yes even down there.

AND yes Aiko is still a virgin, AND NO I do not sleep with her."

:roll: Think she has a hymen?

Old news... It was mentioned here a week ago (can't find the thread, though).

Still, it's good to see that there's at least one sorry S.O.B. that's even more pathetic relationship-wise than yours truly.

Seeing as I could buy a lot of sex with real women for that kinda cash, no I wouldn't buy a robot.

You see, the difference is you would rent, where he prefers to buy.

Googled a video: http://www.videosift.com/video/Project-Aiko-Fembot

While the possibility of androids as consumer goods is awesome, it still seems distant... movement is jerky, they have a hard time even walking...

Personally I couldn't care less. Give me an AI I can talk to and talks back a la Lyja in Spider-man 2099 or the Jarvis AI in Iron Man.

The worst thing about a fembot is her response when you ask for a blow job.

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that"

If I had 20k I'd build one.

Yea, you could go the 20k on prostitutes route but that kinda ranks lower in my book, and even then there is no guarantee they'll sleep with you no matter how much you pay'em.

Right. Because repairs are a bitch and she loses half her value the moment you :quote: drive her off the lot :quote:

Dude. The payment is the guarantee. That's the whole fucking point

And this spins my mind into all those old science fiction explorations... what do we find attractive in relationships? Is it a discernible pattern that can be abstracted to a system? Or is it so complex so multilayered and context sensitive to so many factors that it becomes impossible to simulate?

I saw the Iron Giant again last night... in that film Hogarth, the main character poses that since the Giant can understand, relate and show emotions he must have a soul... I wonder...

I'll tell you some thing. I am totally behind projects like this though, at least when they manage to avoid the uncanny valley problem, only because I kinda worry about the really lonely, really desperate guys out there.

And I mean hey, I use a vibrator, so, whatever.

Yea, for the cheaper ones. The high dollar ones are more likely to pick and choose their clients, like Inara from Firefly. Well not so much pick and choose but it wouldn't be surprising if a rather poor fellow who wasn't much of a looker got told "no" by a high class prostitute even when he's paying like 10k.

the robot will never say no, unless it develops some fucked up evil A.I. which is ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

I don't know how to respond to a fictional hooker reference. A nerd's wet dream hooker reference especially. :humph:

it's sad? dude built himself a companion.

you have to stop and realize, there are 6.5 billion, give or take, people on the planet. for examples sake, half that number. So you're looking at around 3 billion straight people (for example) of each gender. even out of 3 billion people, there is not someone out there for everyone. and not everyone is interested in paying for sex with a prostitute or isn't able to (maybe he built the robot over time? i skimmed the article).

dude's a hero in my book, why waste years of your life searching when you can assemble one? is it as good? no obviously not, it has it's major drawbacks but if he's happy, why shit on his parade?
