And so begins a new chapter of Japanese fetish-porn.

Naw. Until they solve the uncanny valley problem, 3D animated Japanese sexbot android fetish porn will always outsell live action Japanese sexbot android fetish porn.

If they want these things to look lifelike when they speak, they need to articulate the mouth more than just having it open and close roughly in time with the words. And introducing randomized head movements doesn’t cut it for indicating an actual personality inside the head.

As SCSteve notes, they’re nowhere close to crossing the uncanny valley. Unless and until we get self-aware consciousness in the AI, adding motion and blinking and gestures to these robots is like frosting a nonexistent cake.

Call me when it can paint my house.

The one on the right looks like she’s emoting:
Please… please, kill me.

I think I’ve discovered the new GOP demographic target.

The “outreach” will soon commence.

Good response, but yikes, that’s NC, not South Cacalackey, there friend.

May not mean much to those who ain’t from around here (and, truth to tell, I ain’t actually from around here), but trust me, even notwithstanding North Carolina’s recent acquisition by the Kochtopus Empire, it’s a big deal. That arbitrary line drawn between the Carolinas somehow hardened into one of the most radical cultural dividers among all the state boundaries of the Union way back in the 18th century.

update Oy. I just had a disturbing thought. The Japanese being the Japanese, how do we know the uncanny valley problem isn’t part of what makes them hot? In which case, the drive will be to refine the uncanniness down to the nth degree rather than eliminate it.

Windows. Do they do @#$%ing windows yet?

(And I’m not asking whether they have a Microsoft operating system.)

We may still be waiting for the ultimate sex-bot breakthrough but until that happy day, we can always look to Japan for the most advanced fetish porn. Going all the way back to Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife in 1814, it’s like cars and cameras—they just seem to have a gift for it.

Sorry about the unfortunate typo. I was thinking of fixing it but then it’d render your reply nonsensical.

Keeping a dig against South Asylum sensible takes a team effort.

This isn’t going to help your demographic issues, gentlemen.

Binders full of faux-women?

Now, if they had vulva’s the size of that one in the other TPM story today, now your talkin’!!!

Isn’t the dude on the left of the photo a celebrity from the Iron Chef show?

“The robot, designed with a girlish appearance, can use a variety of voices, such as a deep male voice one minute and a squeaky girly voice the next.”

That would lend a disquieting note to getting it on with a sexbot…

Now we’re talking “uncanny valley”.

Fembots! We need Jamie Sommers now more than ever!

Lifelike, if you like women that are plastic.
