Sexbots Need More Animatronics

The second generation of sexbots is soon approaching. A company in China is creating sex robots with some animatronics in the facial features. And their second batch will have arms that are robotic too. The problem is the body is still going to lie there like a dead fish. Whereas, most men want a woman who will also ride them on top etc. The price tag is not terrible, at roughly 3k British Pounds. I assume it is not completely finished or ready for sale yet, since she only has a bust at this point, but no arms or legs. She speaks only Mandarin at this point, which sucks. By using more animatronics, the sexbots will become increasing realistic in the future. Men also want their sexbot to strip and pole dance for them, as well as cook them a steak and get them a beer (plus clean the house too – and laundry). Using a Siri like type of AI is also on the horizon according the company execs. See the full story here:

Date That Robot

A growing number of younger people are open to dating a robot, or sexbot according to a recent poll. 27 percent of those 18-24 are down with dating a bot. Men are three times as likely to be cool with the idea.

This could be a really good thing for society. With everyone working so many hours under such stressful conditions to make ends meet, the average couple is under too many time and financial restraints to enjoy each other any more, let alone to have time for raising little brats. Personally, I think people should be dating 2 or 3 sexbots at a time , plus a live human woman (on the side). Then, once in awhile, you could get all the sexbots together, PLUS your wing-woman and throw a raging disco sex fueled party, like the kind they used to have at Studio 54. But there will be no heavy drugs, plus no diseases. So this can be a long term lifestyle, and you will never get burnt out. You will save so much time and $ from ditching other more traditional family responsibilities. Life will be just grand!

Sexbot Abuse: A Good Thing?

Is it Ok to beat on your sexbot? Is it acceptable to have rough sex with it and leave it injured or malfunctioned? Will it be necessary to buy insurance or a warranty on it, like with a rental car, if too many people abuse them?

One sexbot at a convention got badly abused to where she had to be sent back to the manufacturer to get refurbished:

 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/expensive-sex-doll-molested-much-11251239

The patrons ‘got over-excited’ and injured her. While this may be shocking to some, it is perhaps not such a bad thing. It may be therapeutic for people to take out their sexual aggression on a sexbot, rather than on a person. Could this possibly be a solution to lead to a more peaceful society? Hmmm…

Or is it going too far, to make a sexbot that has a resistance level, where men can play out bizarre rape fantasies? http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/sex-robots-frigid-settings-rape-simulation-men-sexual-assault-a7847296.html

As someone who never had trouble getting laid, it is hard for me to understand that motivation. At the same time, I realize that there are many losers or sickos out there, and I rather they mess with a robot than a lady. Only time will tell whether sexbots have a positive effect on society or not. We at Groin.com remain hopeful of a better tomorrow.

Sexbots Need Robo-Pimps

Now that sexbots have started catching on at brothels in Austria, the time has come to have robotic pimps to keep the customers in line. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/633323/sex-robot-prostitutes-brothel-more-popular-real-girls-Vienna-Austria

Sexbots are really expensive, and there are so many laws on the books against a righteous pimp beating up a john to protect a good ho. The time has come for robotic pimps to give a firm backhand slap to those type of customers who will put out a cigarette using the bot as an ashtray. This will allow brothels to escape some of the liability involved with protecting the bots from misuse, and will also allow scientists to study how the sexbots and robopimps interact. The early days of robotic social anthropology will emerge, and we will learn a lot about robots. The robopimps can be equipped with body cams by TasR corporation, and the beat-downs of bad customers can be uploaded to social media for public shaming. The whole thing should be quite a hoot!

On a side-note, many are wondering why the customers in Austria are choosing the sexbot over the human prostitutes. I have been to a brothel in Austria and I know why! It is because the sexbot does not upsell. You pay $80 for a half hour and that is that! With the hookers, they constantly upsell, meaning they might stop part way through and start jacking the price up on you. My experience at a brothel in Austria was that for $30 I got one beer and a weak ass lap-dance. For sex they wanted like $200. No thanks!

New Landmark in Sexbots

The world’s first sexbot with AI capabilities has just hit the market:

https://www.cnet.com/news/realdoll-harmony-ai-app-realbotix-sexbot/

Harmony’s AI head sells for under $10k. Her capabilities, in terms of having a programmable personality (done via app.),mark a historic milestone in robotics and AI. A lot of her facial features are now animatronic. She forms a relationship with you, to an extent. Besides rocking your world, she mostly does this by remembering things you say to her, and making conversation out of it. Having some emotional connection makes her more than just a casual encounter. This adds further intimacy and excitement.

Robot Virginity

An article in the Daily Star came out in regards to robot virginity. A revolutionary new concept and app will allow a user to get to know the robot’s AI personality prior to having sex with her. The idea is that the robot is a virgin and you are getting to know her before you rock her world. Getting to know the sexbot for a while will presumably not only increase the sexual tension, but also the desire – through the emotional connection that is built.

 

Now the article goes on to say that men may eventually use sexbots to lose their virginity, which is a bit of a tangent and yet a solid point. This is presumably to get more acquainted and comfortable to use those skills on a human woman later. However, one cannot help but think the sexbot probably has done this a million times before! In the Arab world dudes pay like a billion dollars to deflower a chick on the black market. So I am thinking anything halfway affordable and the putenanny is probably not truly virgin. Personally the virgin thing doesn’t do anything for me anyways. And I think the idea of getting to know the bot is great regardless. I think its potentially boring to go fuck a bot without having some mental stimulation to go with the physical.

Another thing that would be cool would be that you could be showing the sexbot the ropes and teaching her stuff sexually (if she is a virgin). That would be kinky. And the sexbot could say “lick me right there” , or “fuck me harder” , “don’t go too fast I’ve never done this before!” and stuff like that.

On the whole , I think this virgin sexbot thing is a great idea. Maybe I would gangbang her with a friend or two, and give her the thrill of a lifetime!

Robot Rights Passes E.U.

short

A European Union commission voted 17 to 2 to grant robots certain rights, including to be free from beatings. There were some developments on this back in June, and now things are progressing. Now, robots in the E.U. will officially be considered to be ‘electronic persons’ under the law. I suppose this means you can ride with a sex-bot shotgun and drive in the carpool lane now!

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3002559/robot-rights-eu-votes-to-grant-electronic-personhood-to-cyberdyne-t-800s

The bill, which has been compared as a robot ‘Bill of Right’ also designates that humans are to reign over robots (not vice versa). And also includes a stipulation that kill switches be installed on robots, as a weird form of mercy-killing. That idea was based off of an old Asimov concept apparently.

Westworld – Episodes 2 and 3

We’ve now had three episodes of “Westworld,” and it is turning into an excellent Philip K. Dick-ian nightmare of a show. We are now seeing a dichotomy between humans who are curious about the androids and treat them humanely, and humans who want to exploit them for profit, sexual gratification, or indulging whatever sick violent fantasies they might have. Anthony Hopkins’s character seems kind and grandfatherly at first glance but by the end of the third episode his insistence that the robots have no human qualities seems quite sinister. For example, his order that the androids should not be covered when they’re nude is disturbing.

Evan Rachel Wood’s character has become interesting with her “Alice in Wonderland”-type storyline. She is seeking to become “real” by having new experiences. How this ties in with Ed Harris’ Man in Black will be interesting to see. Her character arc seems to tie in with Illuminati rites, which is very unusual for this sort of show. Will she turn on her creators as she discovers her plight?

The end of the third episode is really amazing where the scientists discover the android immolating himself and, by implication, his followers in brutal fashion with a boulder. Why would an android do this? It will be interesting to find out.

It was really fascinating watching the back-stories for the androids being created. This is way beyond anything in the original film by Michael Crichton, which was basically a western with a sci-fi twist. Here we see how everything works, which will bore some but not me.

Thandie Newton’s character as the whore who is failing at seducing the customers and may be destroyed because of it is the show’s major flaw. I do not understand where they are going with her role and it seems sexist.

Jeffrey Wright’s character is finally coming into focus and he is looking like the protagonist of the show. He has much more scientific curiosity than Hopkins’s character does and we will see if that leads to good or ill. He has a very strong character arc and I have always felt he is an underrated actor. Will he find the redemption he seeks for having lost his son?

Finally, this business about Hopkins’s deceased and more scientifically curious partner Arnold is potentially a barnburner. Why are the androids apparently having conversations with him? Where will this lead? Is Arnold’s hypothesis that the androids can be human correct and, if so, what will the consequences be?

If you can’t tell already, this show has the potential to be much better than “Game of Thrones.” Whereas that show seems to be slickly packaged sex and violence, this one is promising to explore serious moral and scientific issues while still providing lots of sex and violence. For that reason, I am recommending the show to everyone and plan to watch and cover the entire first season. Sexbot fans unite! -CoolAC

Westworld Premiere Mixed Bag

westworld3 poster for the new film

The trailers for the premiere of this show promised a lot of existential plot elements, plus lots of sex, and violence. So far, in its premiere, the focus was mostly on violence. It is filmed a bit too modern, like a Guy Ritchie film (but a bit more serious). This show would seemingly do better to move at a slower pace and build more suspense, with less predictability. Michael Camino would have made the best director for this series, had he not passed away. There is also a lack of character development here.

The story involves a futuristic a tourist trap, complete with humanoid cowboys, bandits, sheriffs, and hookers. Its a bit too predictable that things will go wrong. A-Hop (my nickname for Anthony Hopkins) does an excellent job with his role, and is very captivating. This is because he is unsympathetic as the robot’s creator. And that makes him seem realistic . However, the script misdirects him by having him say the name of the female he is speaking with in his accent (too many times), and it comes off as ripping of his Silence of the Lambs role.

Ed Harris plays the sheriff’s role ( that Yule Brenner played in the old version). He maintains a strong screen presence, with his usual charisma, and steel jawed resolve. It would have been better to give him more thoughtful lines in the premiere, instead of overly-focusing on his violence (like a Tarentino film).

The robots predictably begin malfunctioning ( too soon in the episode) , and the park managers are into greed instead of safety ( predictably). And the series is pointing in the direction of the park’s robots realizing they have a bum deal, with them getting ready to revolt. But perhaps a less predictable plot would have been for a human and a bot to fall in love and lead a peaceful protest or something – and then they get shot down or broken into parts – and the other bots revolt. This original pilot gave away too much too early on in the series. And its too big on death and violence, and not big enough on sex , relationships, and power struggles.

Also it is clearly dumb for A-Hop to be meeting his bots face to face and telling them he is their creator. I say this because its well known that famous studies from Brookings Institute showed that this type of confrontation causes mass insanity. The A-Hop character would have known this and would have used more precaution in real life.
The notion of what one would do if confronted with the reality they are captive, and a creation of scientific experiment was much more thoroughly and interestingly depicted in the recent Hollywood flop “Morgan”. Morgan got straight to the heart of nature vs. nurture issue. And it got to the point about survival instincts in (slaves) robots and computers being a threat to their (masters) humans.

Especially aggravating is the re-hashing of the Rolling Stones “Paint it Black” as a stuffy Baroque sounding score. Its a disservice to modern composers that films never come up with decent original scores anymore (its a sign of our civilization declining along with the rest of music culture sucking ass too). Also there was a lack of sexual fantasy, and the women on the show were not hot enough.

Overall. this show still remains very intriguing. It has some great cinematography, plus some top notch acting. I hope that it is able to maintain a focus on sex, survival, social programming, and epistemology. While the series is a bit of a mixed bag so far, the series is very compelling in the regard that it is highly focused on the dark sides of human nature, as well as the downsides of capitalism- greed and power. And that individuality and empathy are not valued in a futuristic society. Indeed, humanity itself is not valued in a futuristic society either, according to Westworld. The humanity of the robots in the park, and the conscience of the tourists are all subverted to a new technological order. –Steve

The Pearl Shows Human Nature

001

So in school I was assigned to read Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. And the schools I went to were only an hour from where Steinbeck lived and wrote most of his early works. But we never took afield trip out there. Those books aren’t as good, or as poignant as The Pearl.

In the Pearl, the main character Kino dives for pearls for a living, and lives a modest lower class agricultural lifestyle. One day he dives and retrieves the largest pearl ever known. His child had also recently fallen ill. Rumors spread, and the whole town (including the baby’s doctor) soon is conniving to either screw him over- or to steal it from him outright. His wife Juanita warns him that all this could happen. But Kino’s pride as a man, combined with his personal ambitions doom him completely. Juana fatalistically accepts Kino’s flawed decisions out of an understanding of the psychology of prideful men (a clear indication this book was written before the feminist movement). And in the end, many characters suffer ill fates.

pearl

If you ever saw the cult film with Mimi Rogers and David Duchovny called The Raputure, then you will recognize the symbol of the pearl in the cult members visions and also as tattooed on one of the members’ back in the film. Pearls in American culture are in a modern tradition tending to represent an ominous forewarning of personal or societal apocalypse. Personally I have a pearl memento from my baptism when I was 14.

This book made me ask myself hard questions. Many authors like Nassim Taleb (in his book Black Swans) argue that one should always take advantage off opportunities to profit aggressively (since good opportunities are deemed rare). Ayn Rand would also argue to be greedy and not share the proceeds with the community, since humans are not sacrificial lambs, but rather self-responsible individuals. But in this book, which is a fairly realistic scenario, the main character would have done better to do neither of those actions. Instead, had Kino shared the proceeds with his community, then the community would not have had as much incentive to rob/maim him. And had Kino took the first (lesser) payment offer for the pearl and been modest, instead of turning down the offer to seek more money for it – then he would have been all the better for it.

As we move towards the future with sexbots, maybe society should consider whether these could be benefit of all, instead of simply for the wealthy and the perverted. And perhaps we should also not think of the sexbots as a total cure-all for headaches and arguments men and women suffer from each other. Its best for society to keep an open mind towards them, and try to find a way to use them as a positive tool and a force for peace and happiness in the world. – “Deplorable” Steve
