Zuck! that's silicon grease not mayonnaise!

u/Sorfallo 1d ago

Hey, be nice. It's a bowl of nuts and bolts machined to perfection and slathered in Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce

They have to cover the mouth to stop it biting and consuming the scientists before the mask goes on, which confuses it

Brother, they have to cover its mouth, or lord forgive me for what I'm about to do

no, i want my cat girl this is not negotiable

u/Paprik125 1d ago

yeah im not fan of that technology, you do realize if we develope that then we will have slaves(used in both war and sexual market) so no just give me a computer that cant suffer.

3

u/fuzzyperson98 14h ago

As long as the tech stops short of true sentience, otherwise it's still slavery!

3

u/Whistlegrapes 7h ago

Chances are if they acquire sentience, they won’t be limited by our instructions. If they develop a will of their own, they’ll be much smarter and capable than us, by orders of magnitude.

u/furrynoy96 1d ago

At this point, I'll take any method

u/LuzDeGas- 1d ago

You sounds like Dr Moreau, of the eponymous island

10

u/SkyPork 21h ago

The only ones that look human are the ones that are supposed to. They don't all need to, but this looks like something that would be in a Disney exhibit.

5

u/wayward_vampire 18h ago

Yeah I agree but I've also seen various ones trying to look human to be more "appealing" but it only makes it more uncanny Valley. I know there were some I saw when I was younger that just looked horrible when they tried to make it look human.

If it's something simple like an animatronic supposed to look like a certain person/character and can pull it off, fine. But even with robots like in the video, it seems really unnecessary and just makes them creepier

5

u/humblepaul 1d ago

Yes, have these people never watched the Jetsons?!

6

u/lovingmama1 1d ago

Exactly it's disturbing robots are fucking robots this just scares me for so many reasons

11

u/LuzDeGas- 1d ago

Robots are fucking now?

😳

3

u/Huugboy 20h ago

Yes and then the technical specs for both robots are combined and sent to manufacturing.

29

u/sturmfrei101 1d ago

The reveal of the robot at the end is so spine-chilling

33

u/LuzDeGas- 1d ago

Lol why does it have a receding hairline and favor a young Harvey Weinstein

13

u/Skorpyos 22h ago

The aesthetic choice is baffling.

12

u/SightWithoutEyes 16h ago

The fact that this thing looks like a random dude makes it more unsettling to me. If they built it to look like an actor, or built it like a sex bot, then you know why they built it that way.

When it looks like some average joe, that makes me wonder what the plan is for these.

14

u/Appearance-Material 1d ago

Find the fitting more disturbing that the result...

FINGERS.

IN.

THE.

EYES!!!

😱

u/Ashamed_Branch5435 11h ago

Yep. This was by far the creepiest bit

108

u/L0EZ0E 1d ago

Robots do not need to, and should not, look human.

The only reason to put human prosthetics on a robot would be to scare or spy on people.

Robots look perfectly cool with a metallic or screen design. (Like a giant cellphone with limbs).

63

u/Supply-Slut 1d ago

The only reason?

Really?

You can’t think of a single other reason?

12

u/temotodochi 1d ago

Maybe if they would be sold to private individuals, because renting them on hourly basis just won't work. There was a doll brother nearby but it had to close in mere months because their dolls would just be ripped to shreds by agressive individuals.

10

u/LuzDeGas- 1d ago

ripped to shreds

😖

Where was this “doll brothel?” Amsterdam?

6

u/Huugboy 20h ago

To shreds you say?

3

u/temotodochi 6h ago

Helsinki, actually. Real brothels are illegal so they tried a doll brothel with realdolls or similar ones.

2

u/LuzDeGas- 6h ago

😭 men are a global trip. But it didn’t work out because these monsters “tore them to shreds?” Fkn terrifying

10

u/fetchinator 1d ago

Thank you. I knew it couldn’t just be me thinking it.

u/taliesin-ds 16h ago

Put chat gpt in it and elect it as president.

u/klqqf 1d ago

Or like animatronic stuff

But i guess thats a different field by name even

2

u/panicpixiememegirl 1d ago

I'm thinking the same thing. Like what is the end goal lol

1

u/LuzDeGas- 1d ago

Men like Elon want to impregnate sex robots and “do away” with women. They are genetic abnormalities themselves, so makes sense

🤖👠

u/BitBucket404 1d ago edited 1d ago

Scare indeed.

Fear is an excellent weapon of control.

Mainstream media is an excellent communication platform.

No human with a sense of morality would broadcast fear mongering news all day/night every day/night.

Someone would eventually blow the whistle.

All news broadcasts might as well be considered as "robot puppet shows" and safely disregarded.

That "crazy" person labeled as a "schizophrenic conspiracy theorist" was right, and they were the sanest person on the planet for trying to warn everyone about "The Shadow Government."

What a world we live in where only the paranoid survive. It's all too surreal.

u/ZealousidealToe2144 1d ago

Imagine what a warzone in 2050 is going to look like: Hundreds and thousands of these mass produced robots in human guises and military uniforms infiltrating enemy lines, dodging every single calibre of bullets and being invisible in the heat signature radars.

I can already visualize it.

5

u/-Nicolai 1d ago

Damn what kind of cooling system they got?

1

u/ZealousidealToe2144 1d ago

I dunno but it's possible innit? If you're building advanced war bots, it's pretty stupid to have them detected on a radar.

3

u/dogGirl666 23h ago

"Hundreds and thousands" IMO to make this realistic you'd need robots making robot parts with little errors if any and another robot crew assembling them and testing them before they leave the factory. Otherwise you'd need the same amount of humans doing the same thing. Unless it is slave labor humans would disagree and fight with each other and then sabotage each other before they'd successfully make Hundreds and thousands of these non-human soldiers. At least that's what I hope would be the case.

1

u/ZealousidealToe2144 16h ago

Automation is not new at all, you know. There are mega factories building cars, arms and tech. Human testing is indeed necessary yes, but if they manage to make a robot intelligent enough they don't even need humans as well. It's 2050 after all, robots must have replaced a majority of factory jobs.

3

u/crosseyedmule 22h ago

Just realized that the tech billionaires don't have to worry about their security staff rebelling and killing them in their luxury bunkers.

2

u/ZealousidealToe2144 16h ago

How about hacker groups gaining remote access to control their robot security? That's hella scary.

1

u/crosseyedmule 4h ago

Actually comforting...?

They shouldn't get to destroy the world and then relax in comfort.

1

u/ZealousidealToe2144 3h ago

Well, I couldn't agree more. Unless it's the good people targeted.

Then man said, “Let us make robotics in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over our finances, over our weapons, and over our professions over all the earth, and over every technology on the earth. So man created AI in his own image, in the image of man he created them; servants and rulers, he created them. Then man blessed them, and man said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the finances, over the weapons, and over every technology on the earth.”

Nah fuck y’all. This isn’t terrifying at all. This should be the future. There should be androids indistinguishable from humans for those who need help finding romantic partners. It’ll happen eventually. (Probably) whether you like it or not. There’s lot of men and women out there who can’t find love or romance. They deserve and need it. They want something that looks like a human.
