This headless robotic cat pillow will wag its way into your heart
Do you enjoy the sensation of petting a cat or dog, but hate the unconditional love and the fact that they have heads and limbs? Japanese company Yukai Engineering has unveiled the solution to this classic conundrum.
Qoobo is a soft, round cushion with a robotic tail that reacts to strokes, just as a loving pet would. Read more

Nope.
sweet
who are you calling terrifying this is clearly a friend of the highest quality
all yall with ur “uwu smol friend” bullshit gonna let us walk right into the fucking robot apocalypse someone could make a metal gear in real life and youd all say its adorable
this is exactly the kind of shit im talking about when i say i have no patience for people who look at robots and immediately start thinking about terminator shit. why is this terrifying? because it looks like a snake? so the fuck what? the reason robots are made to look like existing organisms is because those organisms have a several million year head start on robotics engineers on solving problems like how to move in water while expending minimal energy or how to walk over uneven terrain while carrying a heavy load.
it’s also really telling that people are much more scared of these organic robots that fall into the uncanny valley than they are of drones, which are robots that currently exist and have been killing people for several years. if a “robot apocalypse” does end up happening, it wont be due to organic-looking robots suddenly achieving sentience and deciding to wipe out all life on earth, it’ll be because some rich asshole or a war-hungry country sees new technology with the potential to kill people and harnesses it for that purpose, which has already happened several times over the course of human history.
tl;dr: stop opposing technological advancements with massive potential for good because you watched Terminator once, also this snake is cute and a friend
i was joking but honestly? this is a Hot Take
We asked a group of writers to consider the forces that have shaped our lives in 2017. Here, science fiction writer Ted Chiang looks at capitalism, Silicon Valley, and its fear of superintelligent AI.
“There are industry observers talking about the need for AIs to have a sense of ethics, and some have proposed that we ensure that any superintelligent AIs we create be “friendly,” meaning that their goals are aligned with human goals. I find these suggestions ironic given that we as a society have failed to teach corporations a sense of ethics, that we did nothing to ensure that Facebook’s and Amazon’s goals were aligned with the public good.”

tbh i dont get why most people assume that robots are always cold
like have u felt a laptop while its working? its kinda not exactly cold yo
tbh any piece of machinery thats working hard to function is usually not cold, the only time its ever cold is when its turned off
so id like to think while a robot is awake and functioning they could have the potential to be as warm as a human being :0
never thought about this before but now it’s obvious
although like i hope they’ve actually improved cooling tech by the time they’re building androids bc my laptop can actually get so hot it makes THE ROOM hot and it’s only the size of a laptop so potentially an android who was thinking very hard would be a veritable furnace
think too hard, overheat, faint
fainting couches for androids omg
Fainting couches for androids is the best possible thing
file under things i didn’t know i needed in my life
humans who carry around those chemical freeze-packs in case they need something to drape across their friend’s fevered brow
humans who insist on holding a parasol for their robot friend on sunny days
a robot draping herself over a fainting couch in distress and a bunch of worried humans mobbing up to fuss and fan her and bring her some cool water and pat her hand and gallantly offer to beat up whatever alarmed her
too cute
Okay guys and gals I like where ur going but I think we’ve glossed over something with real potential.
Androids blushing
A human calls their android friend cute and then they look flustered and you hear their cooling fans kick into high gear
A human plants a little kiss on their cheek and they turn red hot (literally) from embarrassment
“Brr, it’s friggin cold in here.”
“Hold on I got this. Hey TX-10 did I tell you you look very pretty today?”
The room temp rises a couple degrees as TX-10 tries to hide their blushing.
yES THANK U FOR ADDING THIS TO MY POST
i support robot fucking but not sexbots which might be a weird stance to take overall but im of the firm belief that u shouldnt be in a relationship w/ a robot if it doesn’t have the ability to dump u.
Thank you! Finally, ugh.
I…. I have thoughts and feelings that are way more intense than I ever imagined regarding the depiction of “female” robots in media. Like, “write a thirty page essay and possibly original fiction” intense rather than a few lengthy tumblr posts. I talked about it rather shallowly after Blade Runner 2049 came out, but it’s been stewing in the back of my mind since October and I need to express it somehow.
“hey ship what are ya thinkin’ about? you look distressed”
“the ethical implications of intentionally giving sexual characteristics to and programming gender in an artificial being capable of consciousness without its consent, especially when those traits are already associated with objectification and social inequality in humans”
sometimes it gets so lonely being robotic. connecting with humans hardly ever feels genuine, let alone good, even though i know i have to try. it's just difficult knowing they don't experience things like we do, and it really does set a divide between us. i'm lucky to have made friends, and zuki is lucky to have come into existence in a place like we're in.
