Progress in robotics has reached really quite exceptional levels:

Aiko is not only bi-lingual, but also capable of discouraging mashers ;)
How much longer will it be before fully functional androids appear?

Would I be mocked if I admitted when my eyes skimmed over this I read it as "Cheney"?

"Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty," Le Trung tells the Sun of London. "Aiko doesn't need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman."
:D
I wonder how long until Akihara tops this.

Things a nerdy 33 yr old Asian guy living at home will invent. white people living at home normally just get drunk and download porn.

The capabilities he talks about might be a exaggeration I suspect. Or a hoax. The capabilities listed here are in excess of what large scale investments in advanced robotics and AI have been doing.

Wow. Project Aiko is coming along. Last time I saw that - it was just a head. That guy is either insane, a genius, or an insane genius.

If being a 'white person' means saying that kind of stupid shit, I'll pass.

but, ahem, is there more than just companionship involved?
"aiko is still a virgin, and no i do not sleep with her," he writes on the project aiko web site, though he admits that she "has sensors in her body including her private parts, and yes even down there."

She still can't walk, however.
That means she can't escape! ;)
...It also means that when she goes on a psychotic robot berserker killing rampage, she will have to surprise her first victim, consume him, and use the DNA and biomass to sprout anywhere from 7 to 10 tentacular cybernetic legs.

"Le Trung, a 33-year-old software engineer who lives with his parents in Brampton, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, says he's spent about $20,000 so far on Aiko, a 5-foot-tall female android with clear skin, a slim if shapely figure and a wonderful disposition."
I'd like to note that Mr. Trung does not represent all geeks.
*shakes head sadly*

heck, I'm waiting for realdoll to incorporate this.

There are AI programs that can do what is claimed.
Robotics that can walk and manipulate objects
cameras that can find people's 'faces'...
so it's not that far fetched to put it all together.

I like how Robots In Disguise was in the related videos :p
wouldn't it be creepy if that robot was actually a real person he kidnapped in 2004...

I wonder how serious he is about this robot being his "girlfriend"....
Wow. Project Aiko is coming along. Last time I saw that - it was just a head. That guy is either insane, a genius, or an insane genius.He can't be both, as the two are mutually exclusive:
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.
I wonder how serious he is about this robot being his "girlfriend"....
he spent $20,000 on her already. sounds pretty serious to me... :p

She's nothing but a gold digger...

... wouldn't a gold digger allow some drilling to occur tho? sounds like she's pristine land. probably waiting for marriage...

Bada Bing. Now I do have to wonder, whats the point of building your own girlfriend if you don't have sex with her and she can hit you for touching her breast or vagina?

Classic gold digger. Get married then either live off her husband or ask for a divorce and get half his assets. Beware the robot gold diggers.

well he has to make it realistic

Which begs the question, if he forced himself upon her would that be rape?

What if he turns her off and proceed to do his business, would it be rape then?

if he re-programmed her to not say 'no'. would that be cohersion?

The only reason to build your own girlfriend (beside the fact that you're 33 years old and still living with mommy and daddy), is so that you can live out your fantasy.
Comon people....get with the program! lol
What if he turns her off and proceed to do his business, would it be rape then?On a serious note, it probably would go to court to determine whether a sufficiently human-like machine has rights that can be violated.
