ghOsty Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So I saw this on reddit just now and holy fuck this is the most uncanny valley reaching thing I have ever seen... fuck when they show it moving at the begining, and near the end... chills man, chills. Normally this kinda shit doesn't bother me but damn, there's something really unsettling about it when it mimics THAT well...http://video.foxnews.com/v/2094938759001/robot-baby-learns-how-to-express-human-emotions/?intcmp=obnetwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm equally as disturbed by the guy doing the report who sounds like he's recording a Youtube review for some obscure japanese dating-simulator game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happycase Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Robot strippers, prostitutes, drug dealers, mafia, porn stars, gardeners, rapists. You can get a robot to do anything. He could even steal your soda from you while you're not looking. Then when you look back, he'll have this enormous grin on his face, and when you try to punch him he injects you with tranquilizing serum. His powers of evil are endless. This is what the "dark side" is - all that "POWAH" Vader was hooked on - it's drugs man. Diego is going to grow up to kill his master and start world wars unlike anything we've seen before.

lumpenprol Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 when it comes to human-aping robots, I'm always amazed by how little progress we've made. I mean these things aren't much better than those crappy animatronics they used to have at disneyland as a kid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmanyo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 "Robot Baby Learns How To Express Human Emotions" I can't stop laughing at that for some reason. I just keep thinking of some poor neglected orphan robobaby that finally learns the meaning of joy. Like a weird sci-fi indie heartwarming movie about autistic robots in the future. Zooe Deschanel plays the single human mom who adopts robobaby; Michael Cera is the love interest. They learn the true meaning of love, robot or human. Directed by Wes Anderson.
