PhysOrg: TrueCompanion takes wraps off robot girlfriend

From PhysOrg, news about the world's first sex robot "complete with artificial intelligence and flesh-like synthetic skin".

When it comes to news like this, simpletons just laugh (yes, it's funny, but this is obvious), while more sophisticated analysts carefully consider the near and long-term implications and trends.

  1. As near as I can tell she’s a glorified blow up doll; no competition for real women.

  2. Wow, I only had to read to the second paragraph of that article for the misogyny to become overwhelming. Based on the attitudes toward sexbots I’ve encountered in the h+ community elsewhere in the transhumanist scene, I fear an indefinite extension of the present porn culture.
