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: )

That's too creepy. I think I've seen this before, though. It's a step-up from the life-like sex dolls.

I'll take two.

i thought this was going to be a thread full of HD nudity.

I am thoroughly heartbroken.

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?

don't care about a robot, only the lack of How Droll's perfect nether regions.

That doesn't sound like a perfect woman to me!

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.

Well. That's not creepy at all.

You can't stop the signal, Mal.

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.

Have we not learned anything from Terminator?

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.

Goddamnit, humanity.

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

An android can't cuddle after lovemaking. It just lies there.

Sorry, not my cup of tea.

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...

"it's real *cue beavis laugh* you can touch it, *beavis laugh*"

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.

Sadly

Okay, I'm just gonna stop reading this thread. Makes me too sad.

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?

Or you could go the Boy George route and just handcuff an escort in your apartment.

@ GenOrder you know his immediate reply is "that can be changed with programming."

You are soooo sexy, PHILIP J. FRY.

And then you had to remind me of Futurama, lighten my mood and make me chuckle... :lol: Is this the same episode where Fry gets a virtual girlfriend based on Lucy Liu?

But it was initially programmed to be resistant. Makes the programmer seem alot creepier. Though the whole scenario has got to be great when he needs to repair a sensor.

Obviously, he likes them unwilling... which makes me think yes, it's a good thing he has a robot.

This thread makes me feel unclean.

No. Because you're still alone. You're just alone with a very sophisticated toy that happens to look like the opposite sex. Very lame.

I would be game if she came with lasers.

Could it pass the Turing test by sleeping with the person administering the test?

Alone is a state of mind, imho. If he is happy with his robot, then molto bene for him.

If lack of something is a state of mind, pass me the rubber fruit and the monopoly money.

I present in evidence, when ever anyone questions me as to why the Mav creeps me the fuck out, this thread, especially his responses. That said, if one of these sexbots keeps him from doing any actual humans real harm, huzzah.

Agreed.

this ain't 4chan crone

go troll another thread

i mean jesus fuckin christ, would you like a god damn step ladder to climb off my back or what? is that all you care to do these days, flame others in place of a typical forum discussion?

that's some low fucking shit right there "keep him from doing anything to real humans?"

The real perfect woman.

Not safe for...well, anything, really. It's not a virus, but you'll probably wish it had been a Rickroll instead of...that.

Such an interesting discussion, I'd hate to have to lock it out to prevent a flame war of epic proportions.

I think maybe the insanity on the boards is just as much my fault as anything. I think maybe I need to become an asshole.

And I hate that because I'm such a nice fellow.

That's the wonderful thing about being site admin - you can delegate the assholery to others. I can't help but notice that it's you rather than the appointed mods who's done most of the moddy stuff thus far.

I wonder, if locking a thread is as successful as "foe"ing someone? As in, pointless and hilarious.

"Oh no, it was locked. Guess we can't argue in another thread/next post?"

Damn, I thought this thread was going to be about Bo Burnham. Instead it's about some creepy dude with a fake-girl robot he claims not to get funky with, but apparently makes smack him for inappropriate touching. Eugh.

You could start out gradually, see how you like it. :teeth:
