Japanese (Who Else?) Develop First Realistic MechaWhore Female Android

Speaking of Westworld.

Japanese scientists have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android called Repliee Q1.

She has flexible silicone for skin rather than hard plastic, and a number of sensors and motors to allow her to turn and react in a human-like manner.

She can flutter her eyelids and move her hands like a human. She even appears to breathe.

Professor Hiroshi Ishiguru of Osaka University says one day robots could fool us into believing they are human.

It's even easier when you want to believe.

Repliee Q1 is not like any robot you will have seen before, at least outside of science-fiction movies.

She is designed to look human and although she can only sit at present, she has 31 actuators in her upper body, powered by a nearby air compressor, programmed to allow her to move like a human.

Ummm, I don't think the fact that she can only recline is going to hurt her sales.

"I have developed many robots before," Repliee Q1's designer, Professor Ishiguru, told the BBC News website, "but I soon realised the importance of its appearance. A human-like appearance gives a robot a strong feeling of presence."

Uh-huh.


Their Caption: Professor Ishiguru (r) stresses the importance of appearance

Dirty pervert. I like how they point out he's on the (r).

Okay, here's the checklist:

Flyin' cars: NO

Bubble cities: NO

Clean Fusion Power: NO

Oxy-Gum: NO

Super Fembot Positronic Erotic RoboSluts: YES

Glad to see we've got our collective priorities in order.

Man-Hands Alert: GuinPens is bothered by the rather massive meathooks on that electrotrollop.

Okay... not a true fembot yet. More of a male robot who's undergone a sex change.

Let's just call it a TranDroid for now.

When they look like Pris or Rachel Rosen, let me know. Until then, I'll stick with the real thing.

By which I mean internet pornography.

This is the breakthrough we've been waiting for.

Btw, isn't that Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef?

Aww, hell... I hate being the first commenter, but WTH...

MY big question is THIS:

That's all fine and dandy, but does she taste like tuna?

(ducks, and runs!)

Posted by: Gun-Toting Liberal on July 27, 2005 09:05 PM

Oops... guess I wasn't the "first" commenter after all. PHEW. That's what I get for typing with one hand ;-P

Posted by: Gun-Toting Liberal on July 27, 2005 09:06 PM

Oddly enough, the hands were also the giveaway in Westworld -- AFAIK, the best movie to date about human-imitating (and -sexing) robots.

Nerdy preemptive first strike: Blade Runner's replicants are organisms, not robots.

Posted by: Guy T. on July 27, 2005 09:22 PM

did you read the book? Both the book and the movie seemed pretty ambiguous about what they were, exactly.

I guess the movie made them more explicitly biological. In the book it was never really clear to me what the hell they were.

Posted by: ace on July 27, 2005 09:34 PM

Uh, Ace?

While I proposed a truce with the whole "old" thing just a few hours ago, you just made a *really* bad blunder here.

Not only is this old, it was already linked to on your site.

By me.

Ahem. OWNED, BITCH.

Seriously, this is by far THE BEST DAY EVER.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

> I guess the movie made them more explicitly biological. In the book it was never really clear to me what the hell they were.

I still haven't read the book. In the movie, though, I'm pretty sure there's not a clue toward the replicants containing so much as a Zippo flint.

And now I see you referred to Westworld at the very top of the post which makes my own post both redundant and evidence that I read lazily... You win this round, Mr. O'Spades.

Posted by: Guy T. on July 27, 2005 10:06 PM

She'll never sell well as long as she can only sit. If they can add lay down, get on her knees, and get on all fours, I think they'll be onto something.

I wonder if she can shake a banana with them...

Slowly, of course, and without mashing it.

Posted by: Dogstar on July 27, 2005 11:47 PM

ace, speaking of Pris, why the HELL hasn't We Can Build You been adapted yet?

Is that your secret script you're sitting on? No, no, you said it was a comedy ...

... welll ... I guess to a certain sort of mind WCBY is funny ...

Posted by: Knemon on July 27, 2005 11:48 PM

Okay, since you have all proudly surrendered to the
perverts within...

When are they coming out with a male roboslut? You know, the one that looks kinda hot and will go with you to a footballl game? But it won't drink all your beer and mess up your house?

Authoring this post without an Oliver Willis joke is a travesty.

Come on, what the hell kind of technogeek builds an Asian electro bimbo without huge bionic boobs?

I sense that the Japanese are playing with the minds of the West.

Posted by: blaster on July 28, 2005 07:59 AM

Man, I totally lost it when you wrote "electrotrollope" - absolutely hysterical. I think the man-hands are deliberate, though, probably some Japanese fetish thing. Or, they are there for more crushing power as the inevitable robo-assassins come around. Whatever, right?

Am I dreaming of electric sheep? Blade runners are only a few years away. Sheesh...

Posted by: lawhawk on July 28, 2005 10:26 AM

C'mon, people, it's obvious this is the prototype for the housebound wife who keeps the sake hot and the sushi cold. If this were a Japanese sexbot, she'd be a Sailor Moon blonde with a pair of 44F's who has an unlimited charge card for the local soiled panty vending machine and a hotter, younger sister who's ever such a curious thing and needs the firm hand of Western discipline.

I mean, really.

I think the shaved teenage whore model will outsell this aged mommy any day. The one I have is quite a looker. Even better than ACE's porno collection.

Posted by: 72 FLYING MONKEYS on July 28, 2005 10:50 AM

OK. I'll say it. No one else seems to be willing to step up to the plate.

Dave, I generally like your posts here. And, the few times I have visited your blog...I was moderately entertained. And, I realize that you and Ace are...like compadres and all...

BUT.. We DON'T GIVE A SHIT if you posted a link first. The first time you did this whole schtick it was a mild amusement. Now, it is just f***ing annoying. STFU already about who posted something first. We don't care. It may not be new to you, but it damn well could be new to us. And...as you have oft stated within these comments...many of us don't read your blog.

Repeat: Your continual, lame scolding of Ace is tiring, unfunny, and uninteresting. No one cares if you got the scoop on the big story.

Other than that, I really do like your posts :-0

Posted by: TheShadow on July 28, 2005 11:25 AM

I'm trying to decide how much of a turn off it will be that she is "powered by a nearby air compressor".

If you are unfamiliar with these things they are:

a: loud
b: given to turning on at unexpected moments

Maybe she will have an extra long air compressor hose option so you can put the power plant somewhere else?

Posted by: too many steves on July 28, 2005 01:07 PM

Wow, Shadow-- if only you had mentioned your distaste for my schtick months ago, I might have stopped earlier.

Really, I'm sorry I offended you with my teasing of Ace.

Is there some way I can tease Ace that *would* please you? I would appreciate your advice, as long as it doesn't involve "analingus" and "go fuck yourself, you piece of filthy wormshit."

Of course, had you visited my site, you would have read that the whole thing is over now.

Then again, knowing how much it pisses *you* off makes me think I should keep it going.

You are such a raging fucktard for getting pissed off at this sort of thing. Don't you know there's a war on?

Get HIV and die a wet death,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

P.S. Nothing personal :-)

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on July 28, 2005 03:32 PM

Dave,

I'm glad we could come to an understanding.

Posted by: TheShadow on July 28, 2005 03:54 PM

she has 31 actuators in her upper body, powered by a nearby air compressor, programmed to allow her to move like a human.

It's not her upper body I'm concerned about, but can she fuck like a snake?

Posted by: PLUG UGLY on July 28, 2005 04:10 PM

"but can she fuck like a snake"

I'm hoping this is just a mixed metaphor and doesn't reflect personal experience!

You forgot to mention the tentacles.

If they could give her the same functions as an "RealDoll" I would buy one.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz
The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'"
I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir"
From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met
Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men
But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi
"Teen" charged with five counts of attempted murder after attempting to run down police officers with his car in yet another "teen takeover" permitted by woke racist incompetent Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson
Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time?
It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.
Future Tucker Carlson guest James Talarico:
James Talarico
@jamestalarico

Black Americans in a church.

Mexican Americans in a store.

Asian Americans in a spa.

Radicalized white men are the greatest domestic terrorist threat in our country.

He's referring to three mass attacks committed by white men in, oh, the past six or eight years. There were a huge number of mass shootings and bombings he had to skip over to cherry pick three committed by white men. Which kind of makes me think that "white men" are not the greatest terrorist threat in our country.
No, I doubt he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson. The only thing that Tucker clings to that he claims makes him "conservative" is a palpable hatred of gays. Any time there's a communist enslaving their population and executing dissenters and conservatives, Tucker praises that dictator by saying "at least he represses the homos!"
