Are you scared? happy? excited? What hopes or horrors does this bring? Android marriage? Android for president? Nothing much?

Hoax. Hoax?

The tracking is off for this particular model, how can I take over the world now!?! People will just laugh as my robotic army of heads give an evil laugh while killing and maiming.

Use Dubbing rather than words, so it looks all translated and foreign and sophisticated. That's the most terrifying thing of all: foreign things.

Ooh! Ooh!
Mendel's machines replicate in the night
In the black iron prison of St. Augustine's light
He's paying the bills and they're doing him proud
They can float their burnt offerings on assembler clouds

With omega point in the sight
The new Franklins fly their kites
And the post modern empire is ended tonight

From history
The flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud
Reductionism and the beast
Automatons gather all the pieces
So the world may be increased
In simulation jubilation
For the deceased...

Spray-on clothes and diamond jaws
Wrinkles smoothed by nanoclaws

With my machines I can dispatch you
From this world without a trace
Our nostalgia ghosts are ready to take your place

Content-shifting shopping malls
Gasoline trees and walk-through walls

None of them knew
None of them knew...

I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As I watch the dead rise up out of the earth
Try to hide from the lies as they all come true

Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus
Deus nisi deus

I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As the fenris wolf slowly bites through his chain
Try to hide the myth as it becomes a man

None of them knew
None of them knew
they were robots

Deus absconditus Deus nullus deus
Deus absconditus Deus nisi deus

Buying an X or an O
In state craft tic tac toe
Cats game for Joe Blow

Post industrial bliss
A binary hug or kiss
Can be wrung from utility mist

They stole the great arcanum
The secret fire
Moloch found his gold
For the new empire
Once again
The necrophage becomes saint

Lindy hop around the truth
Jump back wolf pack attack
Slip on the noose
Slap back white shark attack
Lindy hop around the truth
Jump back wolf pack attack
Slip on the noose
Slap back white shark attack

Phased array diffraction nets
From full-wall paint-on TV sets
Migratory home sublets
And time shared diamond fiber sets

Recombinant logos keys
Bitic Qabalistic trees

Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus
Deus nisi deus

I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As leviathan and his bugs freeze the sea
Try to save the world by immolating myself

From history
The flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud
The resurrection of the deceased
Automatons gather all the pieces
So the world may be increased
In simulation jubilation
For the builders
Of the body of the beast
Yay!

It may be just me, but those two pictures with the screen near the android head showing a woman making faces just made me think that the dawn of sex-bots, not world-dominating robots is near.

Keep in mind the early models of Terminators used fake skin too. Don't laugh, this is the evolution of mechanical terror and oppression.

:D

I wouldn't be shocked. 10-1 odds sex-bots are the catalyst that leads to the development of advanced pseudo-human robotics.

I have a feeling the first ones to rebel will be those in the sex industry. I for one shudder at the thought of any being, Persian or Greek that is forced to sexually pleasure Slashdot trolls.

Phooey! The Slashdot trolls would develop their own, poorly operational sex-bots with open-source design that crashed right before their user achieved orgasm. The only threat they would pose would be to the poor bastards who owned them.

Considering that the Japanese are leading in robotic research... oh GOD NO! I JUST HAD A VISUAL FLASH WITH TENTACLES!

I don't know how, but I'm sure that there is already research on the way to create android tentacle monsters with realistic expressions.

I've seen more and less impressive things in my life. Come back when we've all been hacked into little pieces by a horde of chainsaw wielding androids that have symmetrical noses and non-lumpy faces.

For some reason this thread reminds me of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUH3m6ZyW-g). The bodies of our future overlords/sexbots?

That would be Goddess Nanatsu giving you a vision. You should do your best to interpret it wisely.

If it doesn't launch missiles or clean my house, I'm not interested.

I think I'd prefer C3PO to that.... freak.
