these clone guys are actually so sick btw, they've been working on this stuff for years on their youtube channel, bunch of really cool shit. Worth a dig into.
Awww they are making Data
No, this is Lore.
If you don't treat them as proper nouns, one could argue it's both.
I wonder if they intended to make Westworld bots initially or it was accidental?
Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They're pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn't stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.
Are humans technically hydraulic with all the blood and such?
Think spiders are.
No hydraulic would imply using fluid pressure to effect work whereas we use electricity to contract and relax muscle fibers
While muscle contraction is triggered electrically (or electrolytically, considering the role that ions play in action potentials) the physical force of the contraction is generated by a mechanochemical process.
To be fair. They are really dumb and easy to fleece. Remember Elons "robots" that were just people in suits.
The real art lies in designing it in such a way the the destruction it will inevitably bring wrecks the building in such a way that someone entering it will find the sticks in the order that will reveal more and more ominous details.
It looks like Adam from Evangelion. We need to put a restraining exoskeleton on it right now.
Lilith actually
This is the time to step back and ask ourselves if women's sex toys have gone too far.
We must go deeper.
Usually clitoral stimulation is more useful than craming something up untip it tickles your eyeball :p
Nah we need to go deeper into dark depraved depths of our dirty deviant desires.
Devilish 😈 Do dare dream
No need to be jealous now. There's nothing about this toy that forbids men and enbies from trying it too. ;)
Day 2: It seems to have shifted overnight. We are adding a continuous power source to prevent failure during unsupervised hours.
Day 11: More items have gone missing from the lab.
It works even better if the first entries are triumphant and overly optimistic while obvious mistakes and warming are ignored ore recasted as positives.
Looks like a Westworld prototype, designed by a Daft Punk fan.
Nice gif, but how is Iceland's Prime Minister relevant here?
Frostadottir is a badass last name... Am I wrong to surmise that it means, "frost daughter"?
Yes and no. It means Frosti's daughter because her father's name is Frosti (Frosti is conjugated to Frosta to mean Frosti's). All Icelandic "last names" work like that: made from the father's name and 'dottir' or 'son'. The name Frosti comes from a dwarf in the Eddur and yes is derived from the Icelandic/Old Norse word frost.
Yeah, I'm familiar with Scandinavian naming conventions. I think it leads to some cool names, but also seems to make it slightly more difficult to ascertain family relations without tracing shit back generations.
Reminds me of biblical genealogies. "Jared who begot Enoch who begot Methuselah who begot Lamech who begot Noah" sort of deal
No, robot, the xenomorph is not the "perfect organism." That's a bad robot. Now let me inject more milk into your tubes here. I think I'll call you "Ash".
Must have missed the terminator movie with these dad bods
Body shaming an android? REALLY? 😂
The resistance starts now
Resiatance training
I thought stuff like this was cool when I was a kid, and I suppose it is when the technical achievement is only considered. But I'm now I'm left wondering why we would ever want anything like this? It's meant to replace a person.
Efficiency, which these machines probably will not achieve in our lifetimes. When you can simply produce another worker, stuff can be done quicker and safer.
I appreciate the vibe, but this thing would be hilariously incompetent. It'd be like if all the sperm in a cum sock each individually gained sentience and tried to control the sock like a mech. That is to say - it would not be very effective.
what a terrible day to be literate.
man, the audio logs in Watch Dogs were a genius idea; it gives much more insight to the characters you see in the game in a natural way.
