Madhouse! Human Skin For Robots, Sex Robots

Whoa, slow down! These nerds are really going all in on the robo-skin thing. I mean, come on, a pink blob with eyes that can smile?

That’s nightmare fuel!

And get this - they’re working on “perforation-type anchors” to make the skin stick. That’s a sci-fi horror movie in the making if you ask me. I didn't believe this omelet-looking-face at first, then found some sources fjr this story: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/06/26/scientists-create-smiling-robot-face-made-of-human-skin/

I have only one question: why?

What possible benefit might that provide for the humanoid robot or the people? Wont these things eventually be transmitting skin diseases?

I get it, progress and all that. But can we slow down before we’re surrounded by uncanny valley dwellers that can sweat and self heal? Hope they're not gonna be pooping, too? Like, you never know with some of these pervy scientists, lol

I mean, fine, maybe a robot butler can be handy, but does he also has to have an acne problem? Eww...

Get F*ed!

And did you know, LLMs are being used to create advanced sex robots in China? Companies like Starpery Technology are developing dolls that can interact vocally and physically with users, with prototypes expected by August 2024! These new AI-powered sex dolls will be equipped with sensors and AI models to react with movements and speech.

So it looks like once again, a Futurama episode is coming to reality. It's usually either Black Mirror or Futurama or Simpsons.
