Quote:
Roxxxy the sex robot had a coming out party Saturday in Sin City.

In what is billed as a world first, a life-size robotic girlfriend complete with artificial intelligence and flesh-like synthetic skin was introduced to adoring fans at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.

Looks like Rosy Palms has a rival.

Hate speech! I'm going sue you now!

Okay, this story is very quaint. >_> (Obvious reply is obvious.)

I'll admit its a slightly offensive euphemism but I'm not going to change it.

There are really sad and lonely people in this world if they can replace companionship with a Microsoft Sam voice emanating from a doll. I don't think the designers of this thing ever heard of the uncanny valley, cause this hits the rock bottom of it.

I was just kidding. :P

Uncanny would seem like the perfect word for it, indeed. Also, please note that the diagram in that article has placed "zombie" in the rock bottom of the moving graph.

How do you think the internet exploded in to what it was today. That's right. Porn sites. It's more commonly known as the Rule of First Adopters.

I think it is wrong to say it turned the internet into what it is today. Though it might constitute a disproportionally large quote of the internet, it doesn't seem to be that influential on other sites at all. Development does not seem to come from it.

Most new forms of media were boosted by porn. Just look at the VHS or DVD. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the porn industry that advances in the robotics field.

Regarding advancement, they'd be probably on par with the Israelis, even if the applications are totally different.

Pretty depressing

And does anyone believe that stuff about it being there because of some dead person?

I think we were arguing from different kinds of advancement.

Viewing advancement in the sense of marketing, it is indeed true that porn is an important player.

However, porn contributes nothing to technological advancement, unlike uses like games, for instance.

About that, |~DVD~|, I'd say sad stories sell and sex sells, thus sad sex stories sell even better. I mean what? Also, referring to 9/11 is intended to make it patriotic porn.
