Very good point. Maybe 100% robots relationship to Cyborgs will be like privates and officers, in army terms. I'm confident that this will be onbe of the key things why we will maintain overall controll.

Threadjack:

NIN - The Becoming

I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming
the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore
all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness
that me that you know used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when I'm right with you I'm so far away
I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away

it won't give up it wants me dead
goddamn this noise inside my head

The problem with the sexbot would be storage. You cannot hide it from your parents, wife, or friends like you can a dildo or porn. And something tells me it would not exactly be socially acceptable to keep a sexbot in your closet, either.

Then again, it opens up a whole new area of human sexuality for pornographers to exploit. A couple that thought about having a threesome but could not quite overcome jealousy issues? Menage a troit with a robot! And look forward to spam with XXX HOT BLONDE WITH HOTTER ROBOT DICK XXX

Wow. The future scares me.

Remember how porn has helped drive the WWW and then the high-speed internet.

I reckon that the dotcom bubble has more to do with the huge amount of capacity we have than anything else.

Why be so forceful? I am sure AIs will blend into our universe perfectly. If you can be a human male on one day, an intelligent dinosaur on another, and a spaceship on the third, the source of the creation of your entity becomes meaningless over time. It's also oh-so-very marxist, if you really pay attention.

If might not be socially acceptable to keep your sexdroid in your closet (lending a whole new meaning in the future about being in the closet ) but unless you are married - who cares? I never went through my girlfriends closets - and I'm scared to look in my wife's . I hadn't even thought about it, but a male sexdroid (for women who like to be on top) might even be easier.


Sean Young as an actress. Sean Young in Blade Runner and Shadowlands.

Robots will increase unemployment: They are going to replace whores.

[Mr. Harley]

Or, in free market terms, whores will have to offer a "value-added" service.

[DerSchwarzfalke]

I can see some Republican administration finding an excuse to ban the robot sex industry. I have a laissez faire attitude; if your idea of a whore has gears, more power to you.

Don't get too excited by the prospect of lazy days ahead- most likely the upper classes will decide to let the lower fend for themselves w/o any chance of a job prospect. At some point wiping out the lower classes (with soldier bots, they dont care) to end civil strife and open up new playgrounds to the rich will be put on the table.

Nah, that one's easy. It's just little Jimmy's new stereo until he's alone; then it's:

"Transformers! Robots in Disguise!"

[DanS]

Obviously, a sexbot would be able to do some cooking and cleaning too...

It's as if you guys had never watched any anime. Japanese animators have had all this sorted for years.

I'd use to think that the top/bottom problem would be resolved by zero-g space stations, but I guess innovation works in strange and mysterious ways.
