The researchers hope making robots appear more human will help us relate to and like them more, so they can better communicate with us, serving in the medical, care, and service industries.

Then the robots will take over and we will serve them.

From Talos, the giant bronze automaton who guarded the princess Europa in ancient Greek myths,

A “don’t forget Jason an the Argonauts” ping. Hey bro, who knows for sure, but maybe this is how the beast will be healed of a mortal head wound, with a head transplant. No one knows.

This isn't really new. Are you not familiar with my brother?
He lives with you on your home planet and employs thousands of you at his big tech company.

Talos: The giant automaton who guarded princess Europa in Greek fables.

Tallow: A hard fatty substance made from a long slow boil of animal fat. Oft used for making candles and soaps.

This is going to add a whole new dimension to “slapping skins”.

This would seem to be a good application for prosthetic limbs. Great development if it works out.

There does seem to be a theology of replacing man with artificial life forms.

Just because you can do something, does not mean you should do something.

artificial humans has both fascinated and creeped us out for centuries.

They are called college graduates with a “studies” degree. Perfectly programmed hybrid automotons.
