I am slightly less worried about AI now.

This AI robot gives a whole new meaning to "uncanny valley." See it in person at CES if you dare.
And of course it's a white, blonde lady.
With novelty-sized breasts.
Seriously. Someone, or probably a team of someones, built that and are proud of it.
That interview was so bad. That bot is worse than Ricky Bobby.
And the guy was really obviously trying to keep a straight face while doing what he was told and praising it.
"Theme parks." Uh huh. I'm sure Disney is going to want a bunch of animatronic RealDolls walking around Main Street USA.
Oh Jesus. As this tech gets good enough, eventually people will start falling in love with the damned things. It's inevitable. And eventually they'll want to make it socially acceptable to take their fuck-robots out in public. They'll want to marry the things. They'll be trying to piggyback off the gay and trans rights movements. Everyone will be like, "dude, that is clearly a robot. I can show you the code. There's nobody looking back from behind those plastic eyes." And they'll be like, "no! You just don't understand our love, I know she's real!"
We are so incredibly fucked.
Fairly certain Disney has the capability of doing their own AI robots in house and making these look like a high school science fair project.
Not even walking! He talks about how they won't put working legs on them because even they're aware of how creepy that is.
The worrying part is that it's bad though. Capitalists will destroy the working class' ability to work and get information with a broken tool. That is scary AF, homeskillet.
Get a Kagi sub. 5 bux a month (10 for unlimited searches) and you get a company that wants to help you find stuff instead of trying to sell you whatever their advertisers paid them to stuff in your face, and LLM slop that they push because they’re afraid they’ll get left behind by the latest trend.
It’s refreshing, a search company that works for me. I’m the customer, so they put development hours towards making the experience better for us - not their advertisers.
I'm much more worried about that with what OpenAI is doing with voices, which this thing isn't even close to. And I can't see anyone finding an intimate, emotional connection with that robot like the creators seem to think they will.
I've never been worried about AI. AI isn't a problem because it doesn't exist. (Hint: you can't make an artificial version of something you can't even define in ways that are broadly accepted.)
What I've always been worried about is the people pushing "AI". They're the source of all the trouble.
Doesn't look convincing at all...
Hence my being slightly less worried. But only slightly.
Didn’t even watch the video and I know that dude has tried to fuck this robot
When it talks with its hands it looks like it’s trying to cast a spell.
Sexbots
I have to wonder if the future will eventually repeat the history of Un-Go's RAI
This robot seems good enough to fool the CHP.
How is someone who was caught fooling the police who ... caught them?
Based on the proportions they must have just used a mold from an existing Realdoll. Wait, Realbotics is the company name, I don’t think we have to make much of a leap of faith what it’s used for and it ain’t hospitals
The robot had a pretty canned response when the interviewer asked the same question slightly differently, like, three times. And it very clearly stated “intimacy” each time.
Flashbacks to that wild weekend in Stepford….
Wait a second... I've seen this before
