I thought this would be expected of a sex robot?

I wonder if they react to asprin? They both look like they have ā€œheadaches.ā€

Looking at the arms & legs of the one in pinkish she looks Biafran

If we’re all staying at home wearing a VR headset because the robots are doing our job, we won’t need oil and gas.

You’re fired!

I had the time to read the article and check whether robots can take over my job. Looks highly unlikely at about 2%. Damn.

I may have to start a thread on finding a new job.

What is your VR set made out of bloody plastic.

I have been re-employed

Do people have a favourite robot? I’d quite like my own bender (before you say anything grow up FFS) unit like on futurama, Box from logan’s run would be good for reducing the world’s population I suppose but I wouldn’t like having one in my house. Johnny 5 would be pretty cool to have about the place, what about everyone else?

Sacked twice in the same evening that is a record even for me.

but as all the electronicy bits of your VR headsets will need to be transported or built using some oil I have remarkably been rehired.

At a bonus rate as my skill set has been lost due to lack of apprenticeships.

I would have to turn that down as I could never get past having Karen Brady as a boss and not remember her getting her tits out for the Sun / Star/ Mirror/ Possibly daily sport but that may be a bit late.

As an oldie approaching his twilight years I think AI is the wrong direction. If not the wrong direction at least it shouldn’t be the priority. The priority is recording and storing the human intellect…the individual’s brain function. Storing it electronically frees up the individual finite timeline…body wearing out, terminal illness…just download the brain function into a new automatan’s body.

Procreation is then no longer the imperitive, just recreation. Steralisation is compulsary rendering overpopulation a thing of the past.

Just hurry up and get this done…the clock is still ticking and I’m getting no younger.

Or Anita from Humans. I think this would be Richard Herring’s top choice

Nope…all running pretty well at the moment but I’ve seen ultimately, even if you still have all your marbles it’s the body that lets you down. When mine starts to mis-fire I want a brand new one to move into.
