I, Robot

Red Rover, Red Rover, send China right over.

"HUMANOID robots might "soon" be brought to the homes of everyday people, according to a new robotics centre in Beijing.

"The robots, which use AI and resemble human bodies in shape, are expected to propel China forward in its tech war with the US."

"The machines are expected to supplement China's shrinking labour force, as the massive economy pushes to upgrade its growth drivers with new tech-led 'productive forces'."

Don't they already have to many people? What will those people do? The PLA? Taiwan? Korea? Japan?
Vacation Communist-style? It's all they ever wanted...

As long as I get my dishes done . . . .

*chuckle*

"Pull!" *bang* "Dishes are done!"

A robot would be zeroed in and never miss...

This isn’t going to happen. Even in China, predictions of AI’s potential are nothing but hype.

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Eventually, AI will matriculate into something that resembles intelligence and with that will come free will...



... and RIGHTS.

*chuckle* Amongst all of China's other problems there are two that are glaring in nature. The first is the huge demographic imbalance male to female. There are WAY too many males. The second is the lack of domestic consumption. Their economy is critically dependent of massive exports, exports that are diminishing as the US and Europe decouple.

Solution, a female robot for every unattached male AND she'll come with a credit card.

There's a killer episode of Rick and Morty that features a female sex-bot.

Too funny.

 

[JoePepsiCo]

She'll cum with a credit card, or do you just surrender yours?

What makes a hormone?
A: $25



(I know. Old joke.)

Well, mine would be.

I'm not so sure about yours though.

 

[JoePepsiCo]

My robot will be most proficient with firearms and be a ladies' bot to boot...

See? Just add the extra OH!

Effective battlefield AI already exists in various forms. There are endless possibilities and benefits for military and security to invest in it.

The arms race has always been a major factor in technology development. Commercial investment will come wherever a dollar can be saved. With all of the labor savings trickle down economics is more of a fantasy than ever.

Home use will be for fun and convenience beginning with whoever can afford it.

There will be a market for female robots. Incels will buy them so they can fuck them and beat them.

And most importantly for that market, they can hit the mute button instead of having to consider anything but their own interests.

depends, if the robot is programmed to cry and beg, or tell them how amazing they are, they'll let it talk.

All joking aside, I’m sure that will be a popular setting.

This is an example of non-humanoid AI military equipment.

Smaller mobile versions are available and theoretically can be scaled to be mounted on any equipment that can carry it. It’s more likely to be a Star Wars style ‘walker’ than something more anthropomorphic, but still, what can you write off as impossible in the decades ahead?

You'll be first in line?

Or will you be in the forefront of the fight to give them their rights and restore their dignity?

You know, you could get your feet wet and start fighting for the emancipation of all those blow-up dolls...

You know, the dream "Incel" wife.

Good. We can finally break the backs of unions and management.
