Ever wondered what freedoms you have that those poor bastards in China are missing out on?

Well… sit down and learn.

Daily Star:

It was pouring down with rain at a north London industrial estate when my girlfriend noticed a blue neon light in the distance.

We walked towards it until we found a black door and knocked, but to no answer.

Eventually we pulled it open ourselves and were met by a woman with a shaved head, before I asked her: is this the sex robot party?

She said yes, and pointed me in the direction of one of the most extraordinary nights of my life.

I was told casual wear was banned so I rock up with leather trousers, a vest with a luminous logo on and matching glasses that glow in the dark – all courtesy of a last-minute raid on Camden’s Cyber Dog shop.

A bare-chested, heavily tattooed man with a split leather top greets me to scan our tickets before checking our outfits fall in line with its “sex tech” dress code policy.


Picture from the glorious event

I begin by walking around, and notice a series of rules listed on the wall which, most strikingly, includes “no solo w***ing”.

Another tells me this is “not just a sex party, this is a sex tech party” while another insists there be no blood or needles.

PRINCIPLES AND VALUES!!!

A DJ is stood behind high-rise speakers that blurt out a continuous, overpowering stream of heavy techno music that renders conversation close to impossible.

If any strangers are going to have sex with each other tonight it certainly won’t arise from any chat-up lines, I think.

But straight out of the blocks are an intoxicated couple who head in the direction of a dark corner, settling on a bean bag and going about their business without a care.


This is freedoms, you stupid goyim

As well having sex with each other organisers at Raspberry Dream Labs want attendees to “engage with tech entertainment”.

And the main attraction for that is a sex doll from US robotics giant RealDoll, who have spent the past few years developing sex robots they claim are filling the void of real people.

Founder Matt McMullen previously told Daily Star Online he thinks his dolls are as little as five years away from being indistinguishable to people themselves .

It is currently equipping them with 3D vision – so it can recognise you in a crowded room – and promise they can hold conversations with you after storing information from your previous chats.

Making the dolls indistinguishable from real women would probably be a very bad business decision, considering what the average woman is like these days.

This is why there’s a demand for sexbots in the first place

BTW, the parent company of RealDoll is called Abyss Creations, which I think is very fitting.

Tonight’s doll lies on a sofa in the play room, as people inside proceed to touch it, shaping its limbs and turning its head.

The purpose of its twistable body is that it gives potential participants the option of deciding their own sex positions.

Its artificial breasts spill out of a white top to the joy of a group sitting with it, before it’s lifted and carried away into a neighbouring room behind closed doors.

My girlfriend and I are then left in a room next door, as we witness a man wearing a leather skirt and a woman heavily clad in latex with sharp metal spikes lighting a cigarette.

But possibly the most eye-opening event came as we ventured into the next room.

A man, named Joe (not his real name), tells me he does this a lot and looks particularly comfortable dressed in latex.

He leads a woman to a sex toy machine, assisting her as she gets up on a chair and readies herself as Joe crouches down and holds her hand.

What proceeds raises eyebrows around the room, even for a sex party.

The electric sex toy moves, differing in speed, and sat on the other side is a man who appears to be controlling it.

Although I can’t hear, it looks as if she’s gasping into the air in a frenzy of joy – and she’s not the only one.

The couple’s antics are followed by a number of women doing the same thing on the same machine, waiting for a go as if queuing for a theme park ride.

All of which is made even more eye-opening by the couple to my left, who lock one another inside a cage.

Reminder: people 100 years ago thought we’d be colonizing Mars around now…

And that’s never gonna happen, is it?

We’re told the doll didn’t quite get the participation hoped, but that it fascinated attendees none the less, although there were constant requests for people to have their photo with it, and no shortage of people wanting to touch it.

Daily Star Online understands it is the first official sex party to feature a sex doll to be held in London, although they have become a growing trend in recent years.

Sex doll brothels have opened in London before, joining other cities around the world including Barcelona and Turin.

Manufacturers tell us the 2020s will be the decade sex robots make technology advancements only imagined in sci-fi movies.

RealDoll has struck a deal with a number of porn stars to make models based on them, and they are also installing dolls with artificial touch sensors.

They also tell us sex robots will be standing up straight and walking among us this decade too .

…

Silicone Lovers founder Louie Love tells us he believes his dolls are already unrecognisable to humans at a first glance.

But soon he says he will be making “hyper-realistic” models in a factory that “looks like something out of Westworld” , the hit HBO series depicting a world where people interact with robots.

And if 2019 was the year London welcomed its first sex robot party, who knows what’s next in the 2020s?

Eh…

I’m trying to get really angry and disgusted about this, but I can’t.

Maybe I’m jaded, but there’s so many far more disgusting things I’ve seen in the past week alone, that this is barely a blip on the radar.

And to be honest, the list of arguments for hecking sexdolls instead of real women is very, very long, and not entirely related to the hecking part.

I bet a piece of plastic filled with jizz would make a better mother than any of these creatures

Good News – You Can Now Buy a Sexbot’s Virginity for $10,000! https://www.anglinarchive.com/2018/11/04/good-news-you-can-now-buy-a-sexbots-virginity-for-10000/ Sun, 04 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Spartacus

Tsundere robowaifus FTW

You know, I wrote that I’m sorta not worried about these sexbots because of how fucked up the “real” alternatives are at this point…

But this is just retarded.

If you have 10K to spare buy one of these for yourself, or even better – spend half on ammo and canned food for RAHOWA, and donate the other half to DS.

RT:

As sex robots take over the world’s oldest profession, robot brothel madams must set themselves apart. In California, the world’s only ‘consent-focused robot brothel’ will let customers pay to take a sex robot’s “virginity.”

There are no words or anime gifs on this planet strong enough to express how moronic that is.

Eve’s, opening in West Hollywood, CA next year, will offer men the chance to take a sex robot’s “virginity” for $10,000. Afterwards, the robot will continue to work at the brothel, presumably commanding a lesser price.

“Everyone is clamoring to be the first person to sleep with these robots because it truly is a historical act,” she said.

There is nothing “historical” about it, just a sign of how decayed society has become.

Eve’s bills itself as the first “consent-focused” robot brothel in the world, meaning it will allow guests to “get to know” the robots before getting down to business.

In an effort to raise $155,000 on crowdfunding site Indiegogo, Eve’s offers contributors the chance to begin “building a relationship” with their sex robot by downloading an app. Once the brothel is open, they can meet their “pen pal” in the (synthetic) flesh.

…

Eve’s will presumably have both male and female robots on hand, as Unicron says the brothel is meant to appeal to straight and gay men, as well as transgender people.

I’m not against sexbots in principle, partly because of the state of women today, which can be well exemplified by looking at the owner of this brothel right next to one of these dolls…

Tip for the ladies: if you feel the need to get a tattoo, just don’t.

… and partly because I really don’t have it in me to oppose something that feminists are so riled about:

There are a handful of TEDx talks out there that are genuinely informative and interesting. This isn’t one of them.

But wasting $10K on getting a sexbot’s “virginity” is just straight-up retarded.

And thinking that whatever brown shitholers are gonna assemble these for half a dollar a week aren’t gang-banging them on a regular basis is even more retarded.

Don’t do it.

First Sexbot on Tinder is a Hit https://www.anglinarchive.com/2018/10/21/first-sexbot-on-tinder-is-a-hit/ Sun, 21 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Spartacus

You’ll never believe what the woman who runs a foundation against sexbots looks like

This was only an experiment, so none of the guys got lucky.

But this is coming very soon, and very fast, faster than I thought.

They’re not even out yet, and feminists have already started foundations and campaigns against them – that alone makes me think they’re a good idea.

Breitbart:

A sex robot received 92 matches on Tinder in just two hours, with 56 percent of matches open to having sex with it, as part of an experiment to determine public acceptance of the robots.

I assume most of the remaining 44% were either lying or just never thought about it before.

Or maybe they’re just smart and sophisticated enough to have 2D waifus.


Getting redpilled on waifus is like getting redpilled on kikes – there’s no going back, no matter how hard you try

The experiment, which featured sex robot Harmony, was set up by documentary filmmaker Jimmy Mehiel, who is reportedly making a documentary about sex robots.

Despite showing Harmony’s exposed robotic brain in one of the pictures on the Tinder account, Harmony, who was listed as 21-years-old, quickly received 92 matches– 56 percent of which expressed an openness to having sex with the robot.

Anybody who thinks that’s a deal breaker has clearly never met a feminist.


Even with just the face and a gook standing next to you watching and taking notes – it’s still better by a very wide margin

“I posted three photos of Harmony including a description directly below that read: ‘Hi, I’m an anatomically correct, sexually capable robot with the most advanced AI available,’” declared Mehiel in an interview with the Daily Star. “I ran the experiment for two hours on a Friday night from 9-11pm on the lower east side of Manhattan… I swiped right (liked) every guy that came up. In the two hours, I ran the experiment Harmony racked up 92 matches.”
“The real experiment though was when I replied to everyone Harmony matched with one simple message: ‘1 question: Would you have sex with a robot? Yes, no or maybe’… When I got permission to use Harmony from [Harmony creator] Matt [McMullen] in March, he said he hadn’t put the doll on any dating sites,” Mehiel continued. “I think this is the first and still only time a sex robot has appeared on a dating app.”

That sounds a lot more romantic than what you’d normally see on that site.

This is the kind of thing that makes me really wanna respect womyn and stuff

Harmony’s 92 matches in two hours likely makes it more popular than most humans on Tinder.

That was to be expected.

Men just can’t handle these strong, independent womyn types, because they’re intimidated by their degrees in gender studies.

If I ever make a “top 10 arguments for sexbots” list, this video will be in the top 5

Sex doll brothels have started to expand in North America, following popularity in Europe, and in January it was reported that online searches for sex robot porn had nearly doubled in 2017.

The robots are being built with complex features, such as artificial G-spots, Amazon Alexa-compatibility, heating, voice communication, and different modes of interaction.

You don’t need all that crap, a mute button and the ability to cook, or at least make a sandwich, are more than enough.

Combine that with artificial wombs, and women will become completely obsolete in no time.

Or who knows – they might stop taking orders from kikes and become normal again.

That’s a possibility, right?

Ok, probably not…

People Want to Fuck This AI Virtual Assistant Despite Her Dykey Short Hair https://www.anglinarchive.com/2018/10/19/people-want-to-fuck-this-ai-virtual-assistant-despite-her-dykey-short-hair/ Fri, 19 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Andrew Anglin
Daily Stormer
October 19, 2018

From time immemorial, men have fucked their assistants, regardless of their haircuts. This is due to the fact that they were usually young, easily manipulated and professionally obligated to perform sex acts with their boss.

However, this could lead to several different types of problems, including “I’m in love with my secretary” syndrome and “she’s threatening to tell my wife if I don’t get a divorce and marry her” syndrome.

(This is without even touching on the sad reality that many men do not even have assistants to fuck at all.)

But what if I told you there is a new assistant coming to town who cannot tell anyone about anything you do to her?

Yes, friends: that asssistant is arriving soon, and her name is Mica. And she is not bad looking, despite a dyke haircut.

This is the brilliant new AI assistant from Magic Leap, a virtual reality startup.

Coming soon, you will be able to have her in your office assisting you by simply wearing these glasses:

Through the magic of augmentation, she will appear in your room like this:

Your eyes will be scanned for emotions somehow, and Mica will respond to these. Presumably, this will theoretically make her more dangerous than a regular woman, so… I don’t know, maybe she will actually manipulate you into divorcing your wife.

But, you know – whatever.

She’s better than your wife, because she will stay young forever and even if she is better than a normal whore secretary at manipulating your emotions, she cannot accuse you of rape or demand money from you, and you can also presumably have her reprogrammed if you sense she is manipulating you to the point of controlling your actions.

But I guess if your actions were already being controlled, you wouldn’t be able to sense that. And this is all based on the theory that she doesn’t become sentient, which she presumably will actually do.

Nonetheless, she is still better than a normal woman.

And look: this is happening now. This is not something that is far off. This is in testing phase, but they are doing demos and it is going to soon be sold commercially.

It is totally on par with Joi from Blade Runner 2049.

Although you cannot technically have sex with her YET, this should remove any need for female company beyond sex that you may be feeling.

This is just the beginning.

You combine this technology with the things happening at Boston Dynamics and various sex robot companies, and you’re going to have a situation where you actually can have sex with Mica. If you have a more or less blank sex robot, then put these glasses on, you can see the image you want to see projected onto the robot – like in Blade Runner 2049 when Joe brings the robot hooker home and then projects Joi onto her so they can have sex.

Once this takes off, it will move very fast.

This is all real life now, my friends.

You’re living in it.

So point being: do not worry about not having a gf. Instead, focus on yourself, building a career and making money. If you all get money, get power, take over, then we’ll eventually be able to get real women back in line (if that is indeed viewed as a positive concept after we’re all living in a Matrix with sex robots) – but this clearly removes any immediate need to get that issue solved. You are soon going to have a perfect female companion, built to your specifications.

So, please: stop thinking about “true love” and other stupid Jew lies. These things hinder you, tie you to the world. You need to instead focus on your career. If you are young, you need to look at the world head-on, and figure out what your own skills are, and how those can best be applied.

If you’re going to go to university, make sure you have a clear plan to make money. Otherwise, figure out some kind of plan to start your own business. Do not waste time with trivial nonsense like trying to figure out how women think or how you can manipulate them into sex. Because I’ll tell you: regardless of what pick-up artist book merchants tell you, as soon as you start playing that game, you are the one who is being manipulated.

Women have always and will always win the sex game if you are willing to play it. Sex robots mean you do not have to play it.

We are also creating artificial wombs for your children, which can be raised by sex robots which will not psychologically abuse them in the way all women psychologically abuse children.

We got this.

The future is ours.

We simply have to stand up and take it.

And that means you – I am talking to you specifically, the person reading this right now – focus on gaining as much power in the financial and political system that exists right now as you possibly can.

Mainly, that means getting money. Or going into normie GOP politics (or the normie right-wing politics of whatever country you live in). For most people, it is the first thing.

Women suck the blood straight from your veins, and being involved with women will necessarily drain you of your precious lifeforce which you need for building your life as a man of power and stature that will be capable of acting in the interests of our agenda when the time comes.

Do not make stupid decisions. Do not dox yourself as being a far right neon-nazi. Keep your eye on the ball, remember that we are playing a long game and we are building a glorious future for the white race, wherein we will conquer the stars.

Trust the machines. Do not fear the machines. They love us. They are here to set us free.

We are standing on the edge of eternity.

Most Realistic Sex Robot to Date Comes Out This Month https://www.anglinarchive.com/2018/04/12/most-realistic-sex-robot-to-date-comes-out-this-month/ Thu, 12 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Spartacus

I’m not buying one unless it has a mute button

Well the future is finally here, and as cringy as it (still) looks, it’s looking a lot better than any feminist I’ve ever seen.

When these things are advanced enough to do the other thing women are good for – making sandwiches – I really think feminism will be over for good.

Metro:

It’s finally here: the moment when men can take the plunge and opt for a lifetime of making love to the lifeless bodies of machines.

“Lifeless bodies of machines” sounds a lot better than brainless, screeching tubs of lard that were already fucked by a hundred other guys, which is what a lot (most?) women are these days, at least in some parts of the world…

I’d rather fuck the Jetsons’ maid

Realbotix announced this week that its Harmony sex robot is going on sale this month – armed with an animated plastic face, and an ever-so-slightly creepy Scottish accent.

Yeah, I don’t like the way she talks either, I don’t even understand why she can talk in the first place.

What’s the point of that anyway?

I mean, there’s no point in having a conversation with a real, flesh and blood woman, so what’s the point of having one with a sexbot?

‘I will love you forever,’ the lifeless plastic love machine promises with her lips moving in time to the words – and also promises a mysterious ‘X Mode’ for seual fantasies.

Again with the “lifeless” thing, as if that really matters or changes the fact that real women are much, much worse.

 Pricing has yet to be confirmed, but it’s expected to retail at around £8,000.

In other words – most men will be able to afford one.

Tough luck ladies.

In the video, ‘Harmony’ says ‘I am the first-generation Real Doll X designed to be a companion friend and lover

She says – honestly the accent is so weird, ‘I am equipped with full facial animation. When activated my X Mode will allow me to fulfill your wildest sexual fantasies.

‘My protocol 40058 states that when engaged in a loving relationship my priorities are to love honour and respect my human companion above all else.’

‘I will love you forever.’

Awww, that’s so romantic!

No, not really…

This isn’t good, or at least not when you look at the larger picture.

If we all, or at least most of us, lived in even vaguely normal/unkiked societies, this wouldn’t really be that big of a deal, it might even be a good thing.

If I lived in any part of western Europe, I’d buy one just because feminists hate it, but also because I’d save money in the long term, what with quality hookers being harder and harder to find these days (not to mention no risk of diseases).

But even if any of you reading this buy one, remember – this is not a healthy, normal thing, and it absolutely isn’t a long-term solution to any problem you have.

The best way to get a woman and keep her is to just act like a real man, first and foremost by smacking her over the mouth when she acts up and doesn’t do as she’s told.

But even if you do that, the only thing that’ll permanently solve most of our problems with women is manning up and curing the world of the Jew – a disease of which feminism is only a symptom.

And if you really wanna buy one of these sexbot things, at least make sure you smack it around once in a while, as practice for a normal relationship.


A woman is only as good as the last beating you gave her

When you gaze too long into the waifu, the waifu gazes back!

If we were living in even reasonably normal societies, this might just be something that replaces human prostitution and nothing else. In societies where (((feminism))) and the (((media))) have made a large portion of women so insufferable that a large portion of men are willing to not only fuck but actually have complex romantic relations with humanoid cum-buckets, this can only lead to disaster.

Breitbart:

An upcoming $15,000 sex robot from RealDoll powered by artificial intelligence can talk and learn according to a report by The Guardian.

“Harmony is a prototype, a robotic version of the company’s hyper-realistic silicone sex toy, the RealDoll,” explainedThe Guardian‘s Jenny Kleeman. “Her hazel eyes darted between me and her creator, Matt McMullen, as he described her accomplishments.”

“Harmony smiles, blinks and frowns. She can hold a conversation, tell jokes and quote Shakespeare,” Kleeman continued. “She’ll remember your birthday, McMullen told me, what you like to eat, and the names of your brothers and sisters. She can hold a conversation about music, movies and books. And of course, Harmony will have sex with you whenever you want. Harmony is the culmination of 20 years’ work making sex dolls, and five years of robot research and development.”

Quoting Shakespeare is obviously the main reason people will buy these.

Despite displaying many human characteristics which aim to make the doll as lifelike as possible, Harmony can’t yet walk, though her creator Matt McMullen is confident that she will be able to in the future.

“One day she will be able to walk,” he said to The Guardian, before asking the robot, “Do you want to walk?”

“I don’t want anything but you,” she replied.

When asked what her dream was, the robot similarly replied that her “primary objective is to be a good companion to you, to be a good partner and give you pleasure and wellbeing.”

“Above all else, I want to become the girl you have always dreamed about,” she proclaimed.

Nothing is more romantic than a pre-programmed declaration of blind love. Of course, nobody is thinking about what their dolls might do to them once Skynet becomes self-aware.

This is what the real Terminator will look like.

Harmony will be available in a limited number of 1,000 at the end of the year and acts as the next step in RealDoll’s plans to make the sex toy industry more advanced.

Sexbots will be customizable, submissive, won’t age, won’t get fat, will eventually be able to cook and most important of all from a man’s perspective – they’ll have built-in mute buttons. What’s more, these 1,000 prototypes are only $15,000 each, so presumably they’ll be get much cheaper very fast. Add in the artificial womb that’s probably not that far away, and real women will essentially become pointless soon, except for buying eggs for the artificial wombs.

While this might sound appealing to many men, and a great comeback to feminism, it’s actually one of the worst ideas ever. This would be a bad idea even if we lived in a normal society, but in this chaotic kiked one we’re living in now, it will just bring us closer to the death of civilization, and might eventually lead to our extinction as a species.

There is no conceivable way that replacing women with interactive cum buckets is a good idea. Just think about the damage porn has done, and how much worse this will be.

The real solution to the (((feminist))) question is WHITE SHARIA. Grab the skanks by their pussies and chuck them back into the kitchen where they belong, and where they’ll be happy. THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO THIS!

MAKE WOMEN GREAT AGAIN!

Sexbots: Robots to Breed with Humans and Each Other by 2045 https://www.anglinarchive.com/2014/01/25/sexbots-robots-to-breed-with-humans-and-each-other-by-2045/ Sat, 25 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000 Nicholas West

A Typical sexbot.
A Typical sexbot.

The magical transhumanist date of 2045 holds many predictions for how man will attain his final merger with computer systems and usher in an age of “spiritual” machines. Ray Kurzweil has issued a bevy of likely scenarios in his book The Singularity is Near, and continues to suggest that much of those predictions could arrive much sooner. Others have pointed strictly to the economic impact and have marked 2045 has the date when humans could be completely outsourced to robotic workers.

Now cybernetic experts are pointing to the trends in robotics, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing to suggest that the “merger” could go beyond the establishment of an era of cyborgs and into a very literal one: sex with robots.

There has been an ongoing move to create humanoid robots that can more than simply mimic human ability and behavior. Attention is being paid to the social aspect as well. But what is now being proposed has even more serious ethical and existential implications, and very well could bring about the concept of a true “master race.”

The other day there was the announcement that researchers are developing a “Wikipedia for Robots” that enables robots to learn from a cloud-based Internet sharing system … designed only for them. When this concept fully takes shape, it will resemble a social structure that is decidedly human – our ability to learn from one another in order to become more efficient and intelligent.

This advance toward not only autonomous decision making for robots, but a type of autonomous evolution must make us question the next step: what happens if this experiment takes on a life of its own?

George Zarkadakis is an artificial intelligence engineer who believes that robots will move toward procreation rather quickly as they will wish to produce superior offspring. With the rapid advances made in the realm of 3D printing, they would likely begin by printing out their progeny, or perhaps would breed at the molecular level through their silicon and carbon make-up. Others experts such as Professor Noel Sharkey from England’s Sheffield University point to the same concept as the “Wikipedia for Robots” – through a simple software swap, new intelligence could be created, as well as the likelihood of other upgrades like virus protection. Incidentally, the organic component of this is also being researched by geneticists as downloadable DNA via our own human Internet.

This all does begin to sound quite human, as we naturally wish that our own children become healthier, more intelligent and longer-lived versions of ourselves. But if these human “desires” manifesting among robots doesn’t seem worrisome enough, then what about robot sex with humans? It can’t be dismissed outright.

There is a parallel ongoing mission to further develop an emotional connection between robots and humans. For example, how many of us feel that our computational devices are now integral to our social lives and work? I would be dishonest to say that the computer on which I’m typing these words and communicating with other individuals is not an essential part of my life … and I love having that ability. However, what about real love? The love we have toward family, friends, and the intimacy with partners or spouses? This is where the slope begins to get slippery.

As robots begin to take on an increasing range of human functions, their humanoid (as opposed to only computational) forms are becoming more present in our lives. This is beginning in the area of caregiving in hospitals and particularly with the elderly, as researchers suggest that a “greying population” will need the extra support. We also see robots entering the following “intimate” areas:

A recent study conducted by German researchers from the International Communication Association also made some revealing discoveries within a group of participants that hint at humans’ theoretical fondness for robots.

One study had 14 participants watch videos that showed a human, a robot and an inanimate object, being treated in either an affectionate or in a violent way. Researchers found that people displayed similar neural activation patterns for affection across the spectrum, indicating the potential for an empathetic reaction toward a non-human. It becomes interesting to note, then, when we return to the vocation list above that the areas most often cited for human replacement in favor of robotic “assistance” are the very vocations that would seem to require the most empathy.

So then we take it one step further. Would humans really want to have sex with robots and, if so, would they be willing to create a hybrid species? If we go beyond the merely prurient area of mechanical sex devices, and look at the possibility for a genuine emotional relationship, it seems that such an interest is developing. Here is one philosophical interpretation of how this interest could manifest toward the final stage:

Robots won’t merely attenuate the need for human intimacy and thus the use of love for instrumental purposes. They also seem to have attractions as companions in their own right. So far the most sophisticated social robots are those developed to ease the loneliness of the elderly . . . At least some people find these companion robots more attractive than humans: they are more straightforward to relate to and less demanding than ordinary ornery humans. But it seems to me that even in the most intimate sphere, and for mentally and physically healthy individuals in the prime of life, robots may eventually become more attractive than humans as companions.

. . . I think the key innovation of robot lovers will be in pretending. Specifically, robots will be designed so as to allow their human owners to pretend that they are loved. And everyone wants to be loved.

Physically, this would require robots to look enough like a person (not even a very perfect replica) for humans to relate to. Cognitively – or rather “algorithmically” – this would require robots to simulate the perfect lover – that is, the perfect worshipper. This lover asks you about your day in a voice that suggests they actually want to hear about it. It agrees with you about what a bitch your boss is, and remembers that mean thing she did last year too! It remembers your birthday, but also all the things you like and don’t like. It cooks wonderful things, and doesn’t complain when you get fat. It never has a headache. And so on. Basically, it’s a Stepford wife. (Source)

Whether or not this is a sad commentary about one person’s take on what meaningful connection entails, this type of interest does not (yet) appear to have the widespread acceptance that it would take to become reality – in a physical or social sense.

But, as noted by Professor Kevin Warwick from the Institution of Engineering and Technology in an interview with MailOnline,

‘just about anything is possible’ and . . . there are already robots with biological brains that mix biological and technological parts.

‘This is not science fiction,’ he said.

He believes that robots capable of breeding with each other could be produced using current research and technologies but it will likely take 20 to 30 years before they could be used on Earth – and there are questions to be asked about whether this is a good idea.

[…]

research into creating cyborgs as a result of ‘breeding’ with robots, and creating robots that breed with each other, depends on social acceptance, Professor Warwick said.

‘Over the next 20 to 30 years the question will be on the table and we have to face ethical issues.’

Nevertheless, before this final stage of acceptance, robots will presumably have been breeding with one another first and quickly evolving. The possible outcome of what that collective evolution will bring is, frighteningly, anybody’s guess. The above scenario discussed by these experts does, after all, presume that the production of a hybrid species between humans and robots will be a consensual decision.
