“Kids lie a lot,” responded Coriell, the principal. “They lie about all kinds of things. They blow lots of things out of proportion on a daily basis. In 17 years, they do it all the time. So to my knowledge, at 2 o’clock when I checked again, there were no pictures.”

      Makes me terrified of what teenage boys will do when they jailbreak their parents’ robots, 10 years from now. We need very strict laws around AI and robotics, or we will quickly spiral into a very dark place.

        The whole thing the incel community had was that sex bots were going to be the great equalizer for men who couldn’t score with women, but instead they’re just using it to be creepy around the women they can’t get, rather than substitute the intimacy.

        Gotta be careful what the adult men will do. The primary use of humanoid robots is sex and anyone saying otherwise is lying to you

        There is no other reason to make a robot with the same proportions as a human. The argument that it is most able to do tasks in a person-dominated world is BS. Robots don’t need heads. The robot needs balance? Okay give it four humanoid legs. Even if legs are the optimal locomotion (I’m skeptical of this) all you need are legs with a couple arms strapped to them, atlas and p-body style
