It's creepy.

It looks so realistic, but the way it moves is pure uncanny valley.

Since it seems appropriate for once, though:

怖いね。。。

本当じゃない顔がとっても怖いから、店にこれがないでほしいよ!

目を動き方。。。

嫌だ!

One. Kudos to the Japanese for upping the technology for making a lifesize robot.

Two. THE MACHINES ARE TAKING OVER! KISS YOU ASS GOODBYE EVERYONE! WHERE'S JOHN CONNOR WHEN YOU NEED HIM?

The Last Archimedean

QG, I'd rather have machines in charge than some of the so-called managers we've seen mentioned in too many posts to count. In fact, I think ALL the scumbag managers and slimy, greedy executives who are ruining the world should be "retired" and replaced by machines.

And we march further and further into the uncanny valley.

She's got a freakin' tic! Maybe Tourette's?

you know in about a week that there will be sex doll with the same amount of technology, if there aren't already... Japan is weird

Is moving her head and blinking all she does? I kept waiting for her to stand up and speak like Abe did in Great Moments With President Lincoln. I'm not overly impressed.

I knew the Japanese would be the first to make sex robots! This is just the first step.

Japan plan's to use them for their population problem. I'd advocate continuing this research along the lines of creating prosthetic bodies like in Ghost In The Shell(human brain kept alive in a robotic body with all the sensations and bells & whistles of meat bodies) for people who'd otherwise die from cancer or accidents.
If "information theoretic death" replaces brain death as the legal death consensus, they may also be used for whole brain emulations. None of this is for the near future.

  • Greetings Curious Scroller,

    If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.

    I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
