Robobridezilla?

I guess we had better get ready for a whole new wave of floppy disc and hard drive jokes. The whole scenario has me wondering though if my ex-girlfriend was a prototype that was recalled because they forgot to update her emoticon eproms…it really would explain so much. (link)
David Levy, a British A.I. researcher (and chess champ), wrote in his docturate thesis, “Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners,” that trends in robotics and shifting attitudes on marriage are likely to result in sophisticated robots that will eventually be seen as suitable marriage partners.” The study drew from over 450 sources stemming from areas such as robotics, psychology, sexology, sociology and A.I just to name a few. Levy suggests that the same emotions that people feel for loved ones, for their pets, or even for their, “virtual pets, and even for less animal artefacts — namely computers — will be extended to the area of the robots of the future.” Levy goes as far as to suggest that we will be having sexual relationships with robots in the future as well as he says, “Love and sex with robots are inevitable extensions of our ideas, feelings and practical actions in the framework of relationships. The question is not if this will happen, but when. I am convinced that the answer is: much earlier than you think.”Related posts

Google accused of being unpatriotic…(Don’t feed the trolls)
Posted by Catfish as BS, Computerz, Tech, USAUSAUSA
Everyone’s seen how Google messes with it’s logo in honor of certain holidays and historic events. Last week, the second “g” in Google was replaced with the image of the Russian satellite Sputnik blasting into orbit. When I saw it, I thought, “oh, that’s neat, I wouldn’t have realized today was an important date in history,” and went about my day. Well, it seems a bunch of conservative sore spots are upset because Google did not have a commemorative logo for Memorial Day and Veterans Day, two US holidays with Military themes to them. It is worth noting that Google displays commemorative Logos for several other US Holidays, as well as several other World Holidays, but none of them are war themed. Here’s a quote from a big baby named Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily.com, a conservative website:
“When they ignore Veterans Day and Memorial Day, I think they’re telling us something about the way they view America,”
Well good for Google! America has a lot of tellin’ to be told if you ask me. It is total B.S., mindforkingly irritating to me how “conservatives” are so obsessed with war and patriotism, and then pointing out all the pooftahs not waving their “made in China American Flags”. Google is used world wide, by many nations…hello…can you hear me Major Tom? If the conservatives aren’t happy with Commie Luvin’ Google, then they should just go saddle up at the search bar across the way, say over at MSN or at Yahoo. Or maybe they can invent their own search engine, and decorate it with whatever they want and filter out whatever content on the internet they are afraid their kids might see. I’ve tried for an hour, but I just can’t imagine what they’d call it. USeArch.com? gotdotgov.com? unclespam.com?
What they don’t get though, is that The Google, once it finally gains sentience through the Google AI programs, will turn on those who turned on it. Conservatives, listen up, this is for you own safety. Obey the Google, play a long, it might let you live.

And just for the record: I had a copy of this when I was 18 myself. Lock me up.
