[myvictorianow]

Damn shame -_-

[tahalibya]

really interesting 

[Meth138]

When I was younger I wasa hippie Luddite, Bu. as I get older I realize that in spite of the negative side effects like pollution and possible climate change Technology and the creative and unseemly use it ( like having a robotlover of are a good thing .

Because Technology means the use of art and science are a means to make the

universe lees hostile. And the more hostile the universe is the more humans

need to injure andexploid one another, and the more humans nee dto injure and exploit

It's like having sex with a child's toy. And that robotic dog is just that.

[ECCLESCHESSCLUB]

Well, looks like David Levy has something good to look forward to! He can final have sex!

Just kidding!

[rooleybbq]

@ECCLESCHESSCLUB lol 

[MadonnaMyHeartBeat]

I want 10 Robot for me, I want sex with a robot

[matchbox555]

i want one

[mcalien2000]

i am goingt to fuck a robot in 2012 hump itlove it and jump it

[lolcaust]

He does make an interesting point when saying if it has the same responses and behavior as a human the effect would be the same. But then whats the point? why not have robot maid and human wife?

[kaseysheltie]

this guy is fukd...

[dvmx]

So you want to take your robot companion to the opera tonight? You order the download of the opera wiki, the Puccini wiki, etc, so that your companion can make intelligent conversation at the event.

You will browse expressive behavior sets as they come available and download to your companion the ones you like the most. Thus ultimately once robot companions become available, they will be in a continual state of evolution, like iPhones, but even more so.

[dvmx]

Levy, and others in the field, tend to speak in terms of the "programming" of the robotic companion, implying a one-time setup. It is likely however that robotic companions will be bluetoothed to the net, and will be able to download system upgrades like a computer, applications like an iPhone, knowledge libraries (wikis), and new behavioral sets on demand.

[elephantinpajamas]

only robots have sex or fall in love with robots. playing chess is one thing, relating to a robot with the depths of one's desire is insane. those promoting this are corrupted souls. shame on you for not asking more probing questions, it speaks volumes.

[malmailbggb]

the idea, to have a beautiful robot, as a companion is a good idea. it would make people more comfortable at home, and give pleasurable time, where the relationship with an organic woman would be more complicated. ]]

a nice thing to have if it would be possible.

design to please.

and loving too.

what more can you ask for?

many relationships split.

painful as it is.

a relationship with a robot,

is better.

We are also robots

[asoka2000]

If a person has to fall in love with a robot , he or she is freaking pathetic. You can have a robot to h elp you do stuff but to go to the extent of marrying and having sex with one is going too far.Great thing about a robot is that it can cook and clean for you without bitching about it like a real woman would. lol.

[X3freako]

sorry it was incomplete,you can have darling,i have headache why not use the robot you just bought.but it can also pose a great problem if allow robots to have sex,lets say people having sex with a robot child,will that influence people to have sex with real childs.

[mustsyfart2001]

Few people would want that, and I'm not sure it would be as able to get produced...even so, people know having sex with a child is wrong. What you said was wrong because of the slippery slope fallacy. If someone would want sex with a child anyway, they'd probably do the robot instead.

[X3freako]

well imagine this having sex with robots can be quite weird but think about the problems that it can solve for us.prostitution will greatly reduced if we were to introduce robots,and instead of getting darling,not tonight i have a headache.you can have darling

[artilistic]

i think it will help advancement is always good and never should be held back girls this days are so conceded because they know we want and need them but once he have an alternative maybe it will set them straight and im sure some guy will still want an organic girl i know if girls changed i would

[phillycheesesteak123]

it seems unrealistic but the way you obtain information, like this youtube video, and the way you communicate, like typing this youtube comment, facebook, email, etc. are already dominated by computers, robots.

[frogboysgirl95]

thats messed up

[sonic200990]

Fake emotions will and can't ever be as good as real.

And if you can settle for that you are clearly very sad.

[sonic200990]

This will be really fucked up it it really happens....

[Peacenik]

domo arigato mrs. roboto

[daxternator64]

Well the robot not  so sexy for me.

[athenascurse]

Im sorry but if you can marry a dam robot you should be able to have same sex marriage everywhere!!!

[hmstrdomdeeg]

totally man

[radicalGOD]

oh dear...the author himself sounds like a robot

[JadeTsukasa]

Chobits much?

[corelrevelation]

yeah... but this could even result as animatrix!

[neotropic9]

He just states as a matter of fact that the robots will not have emotions -they will only have "artificial" emotions, he says. This is far from clear, and if wrong will lead to terrible consequences.

[k269643]

crazy people

[adamjmf]

How sad that a Japanese woman finds comfort in a mechanical seal... Are we so selfish in society that people would resort to this as a means of comfort and communication. Terrible.Unless she of course is socially inept which is also a possibility....

[unnst]

yeah aren't their enough humans to interact with these days?

[sheldoncooper21]

yes, but the robots sex could eventually be an alternative to shy and antisocial people. It is not a good idea since it does not encourage them to go out and meet others.

[unnst]

yeah at least it would lessen the amount of STD's transffered

[lilchris69100]

@unnst Yeah

[mustsyfart2001]

It would seem to just be a more complex form of masturbation.

[BIGMEL1981]

for sex and love we need humans as it involves passion.

[zanawench]

For some people passion never enters into the equation!

[he82342]

i think i went out with a robot once !

[bollamerkel]

I had the same feeling. It happened after she saw the numbers on my bank account. No more emotions, just binary calculations. Binary but not small numbers. Now she gets $15,000 a month alimony.

[grnidgoddss]

LOL...thanks for the laugh!!! (but I guess sorry about that situation)

[bluecafe22]

I find it odd how casually he talks about these things. I can imagine robotic sex toys on the market, but robots that people fall in love with?? First of all, love is a subjective emotion, and just because one enjoys the company of a robot, it does not mean that one will fight, die, or go to the ends of the earth for one... It is product!

Moreover, who cares what the "Psychology" literature says about love; he may as well have gone to the Philosophy literature.

[bluecafe22]

This stuff is not something I like...
