The Age of Sex Robots is upon us. Numerous science fiction authors, with a degree of jittery anticipation, have predicted this development for years. Yet it has not seemed feasible until recently.
The New York Times just ran a substantial profile on the impending rise of virtual reality porn and sex robots, and stirrings of anxious excitement are palpable in other media outlets. A strange and terrible new world is dawning, but let’s not cue up “Also Sprach Zarathustra” quite yet. Far from being a boon dispensed from on high, the impending sex robot revolution threatens to destroy our entire sense of reality.
Unfortunately, a dash of cute therapeutic language can make anything sound borderline acceptable, including sex robots. Sex robot manufacturer Matt McMullen told the Times, “Based on our experiences with thousands of clients, people do use them [sex robots] for sex, but there is something more that exists. We focus on companionship… There are people who are already lonely, and people who live their lives being alone. They work all day and come home to an empty house. This is just offering an alternative to those types of people. They don’t have anyone else.”
Before a sad violin starts playing for all the lonely people—the Eleanor Rigbys longing for the steady but sure companionship of a sex robot—note it is much more depressing to imagine McMullen’s version of his customers than to imagine a bunch of horny idiots who just want to have sex with a humanoid hunk of plastic and rubber.

Do they have a self-cleaning feature you know like an oven?

Not a real hologram but said to look a lot better live than in the video.

Isn’t this a variation of what we do with mosquitoes and other pesrs, releasing sterile males into the environment in order to reduce the next generation?
Girls socialized to extreme violence though entertaining.....do not make good long term partners...imo

“He can breathe ok as long as nobody unplugs him.”
Cunning. Using the word “our” to imply that this will affect me. I did not give you permission to include me in your “our.”
Companionship is not possible with a machine. It can simulate feelings, but it doesn’t have them. It is an illusion. If you have a robot, your house is still empty when you come home. It’s a bleeding simulation, for crying out loud!
When male prostitution and male strip joints become as profitable as female based strip joints and prostitution. IOW, never, because women are far less inclined to think with their privates than men are.
good one!
heh heh heh heh
i’d like to have seen it
yup
I saw that one, Rust Never Sleeps, and Neil Young and the Shocking Pinks. Then many years later saw the Greendale tour.
A good friend of mine who is a really serious Neil fan made a video that came to Neil’s attention, and got flown out to CA to meet Neil and go to one of his shows backstage. It was pretty awesome.
I SO have to pop that movie in again! ;)
Back when movies were fun, funny, brutal and not full of PC-cr@pola! :)
I think it’s time for a marathon of all of my old faves!
Word.
And the OS must have an ever-developing nag function that cannot be shut off.
Perhaps. Perhaps you are enhanced in that department?
...I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
I never thought they’d be able to come up with anything that makes celibacy look like an attractive alternative.
But by Jove, they’ve done it!!
Thanks. It was the whale splashing through the floor I tried to link to. Your added attractions only emphasize the challenge to recognize the Great Deception when it is unleashed and it looks like most children of today won’t stand a chance.
