Or, ACTROID...

"She's even imbued with a sense of irony; when asked if she is a robot, she answers disconnectedly and with clumsy movements — followed by a "just kidding!" before reverting to smooth humanoid motions. If you skim the article too quickly, you might miss the glorious factoid that she can also perform rap music. It's gonna be a party up in Aichi!"

I'm not sure if the fact they both have cripple legs is a turn-on or turn-off.

[Zanoan]

I'd fuck em both. Look better than the dolls.

At least it isn't shitting on the children. Those crasians!

[frott]

Yeah, I couldn't look at either of those pics without seeing them as sitting on toilets.

I'm telling you, Japan or Korea are going to invent sexdroids and roboslaves within the next few decades. Mark my words!

Three billion dollars to an elaborate toy....

They need to forgo the flash of having a sexy looking hunk of plastic and instead shift their focus to getting neurons to link with and be sustained by inorganic mechanical components designed to pick up on action potentials maybe even a way to create artificial vesicles to work with neurotransmitters analogous to what happens in vivo.

IMHO any cybernetics research facility should be working close with biochemistry facilities trying to characterize growth factors and other substrates needed to sustain neurons. These Japanese are going about things all wrong.

I'd be much more impressed to see a simple lcd light associated with a neuronal axon in a petri dish full of serum turning on and off according to the addition of a neurotransmitter.

Doye - this is just the shit they show the public, I frankly don't want to know what sort of "tentacles doing math" (which is what I converted all you said into) they have going in Security Clearance Zero.

Fine, in lay they are wasting their money on things nature has already provided us.

Guess I should go with the expected response to a thread like this and simply say "I'd hit it".

Edit: JK, bring on the robot whores!
