Seriously.
The robot creators seem hell bent on proving my point. Today, Atlas points me to the next chapter in the ‘humanizing’ of the machines: The First Robot Kiss.
Here – take a moment to watch it with all its unbridled passion on Engadget.
I can only imagine the conversation afterward:
Oh, Gail 34z Beta! I felt a seismic disturbance of 6.5 on the Richter Scale! It seemed to me that ignition of carbon and suphur compounds caused colourful inflorescences of magnesium, iron and titanium to stimulate the phosphors in my CCDs!
OK robots. Today’s homework:
Putting the “sin” in synthetic.
Is that what they mean by “cybersex”?
UPDATE: After their first night together, Janet complains that Thomas really needs to “upgrade” his “hardware”. “I’m into guys with hard drives, not floppy discs”, she told reporters.
She also complained that Thomas’s anti-virus protection was out of date.
I’ve known a couple of robotic kissers in my time.
Thankfully no more.
The King
So, when do we get to have sex with the robots? Isn’t that what we are all waiting for?
Atlas: I’m just glad there were no tongues.
Colonel: His software has bugs too, I hear.
King Willy: Kissing a toaster would be more exciting.
Malach: If robot sex is going to be anything like robot kissing, I think I’ll pass.
I was expecktin bettr sounds.
Sadly Joey – ‘the selected video cannot be played in my region’.
I actually HATE Hulu for implementing this STUPID concept. MY region is the internet. Morons.
DANG! Too bad …
Surely, tho, you can replay in yer head th sounds o Johnny Sokkos Flyin Robot.
Oh yeah! That works. I’l play things from any region in MY head.
Zoid has competition.
