I, for one, do not welcome our new robot overlords
15 Aug 2008 02:46 pm
I know that probably everyone else has seen this, but I can't resist: the complete guide to sex with robots. It's okay that I'm late to the party on this, as it's one technology for which I'm not planning to be an early adopter.
Uh, anyone else interested in the idea of McArdle-bot?!
I'd rather have Kusanagi. Told my wife if that ever becomes a possibility it's going on our "must buy" list. She agreed as long as she keeps first dibs on me.
Wow, I've got my own dedicated troll, and this isn't even my blog!
How does it feel regulating your existence to being my bitch? Shall I post on another thread so you'll come running to pay attention to me?
Good puppy. Here's your pat on the head to grant you that attention from me you so desperately desire and can't live without (or else you wouldn't go to such extremes to obtain it).
Demonsemen is cranky: "How does it feel regulating your existence to being my bitch? "
Interesting choice of words coming from a guy who thinks all women are whores.
Tell me, as the son and husband of whores, if you ever have a daughter, at what age will you start calling her a whore? Just curious. I'm sure your opinions on child-rearing will be just as fascinating as the ones you have on adult women.
Interesting choice of words coming from a guy who thinks all women are whores.
And where did I say that?
Keep sucking up to women thinking that's what will earn you their favor. Keep being sorely disappointed. (the real shame is, I already know your reaction. You'll think you haven't sucked up enough and will double your efforts.)
Demonsemen quotes and asks: " Interesting choice of words coming from a guy who thinks all women are whores.

See my post at 5:37, chuckles. How quickly you forget.
Then there were your enlightened scribblings about those terrible, terrible harpies looking to latch on to your beautiful paycheck. I loved this gem of yours from the "But how do you feel" thread:
"Is it any wonder to anyone that women have adjusted accordingly becoming lazie-faire with their sexuality and, even with abortions and effective contraceptives, has lead to more unwanted children and more out-of wedlock births? They're anchor babies... anchoring the woman to a man and his wallet."
Your attempt to spell laissez faire was amusing until I realized that your, uh, mother probably stole your college fund. (Because you know how those broads are.)
Demonspawn:
Kusanagi? Sure she's cute, but she could also tear off your head if you ever annoyed her. If I were writing the specs for a sexbot I'd be sure to include something like "incapable of tearing off my head". Because, you know, what if she asked you "Do these pants make my butt look big?" or "Do you think my sister's as cute as me?"
OTOH I think she'd make a *terrific* bodyguard.
Actually, never mind about worrying about getting you head torn off. I just remembered we're spec'ing a *sexbot*, not a *wifebot*, so those risky questions should never come up. I hope.

Bingo, now you're getting the idea.
See my post at 5:37, chuckles. How quickly you forget.
No, that's what you inferred from what I wrote. Men pay in many manners that are not monetary (altho, yes, men often pay in manners that are). There is the social belief that a man "owes" something to a woman who had sex with him, so there is another manner of paying (there is no corresponding social belief that a woman owes a man anything for sex). Then there is the legal standpoint of sex where a man pays by reducing his legal protections. Finally there are children. A man pays by reducing the ability for him to be childless, a woman does not. You've even supported that belief in the other thread.
Now, on to the business of your trolling me. I'm going to explain to you how this relationship is going to work:
It's shocking apparent how deep your inferiority complex goes. You are investing a large amount of energy throwing barbs my way praying that one of them will stick such that you will matter to me. As I mentioned before, you don't. I doubt you ever will, but I don't think that will stop you from trying. You're going to desperately scream for attention from me so loudly that everyone who is able to notice what is going on will see this as demonstrated fact.
Unfortunately for you, I'm likely going to ignore most of it. Every once in a while I'll decide I want an ego boost, so I'll make another post like this demonstrating just how pathetic you are as to give me a basis of comparison making it easier to feel good about myself. You'll see my reply as some sort of victory which will make you feel good ("See, I'm getting to him!"), but actually, no.. it's not you. In between those moments, I'll just bask in the pleasure that I mean so much to you that you'll do anything to get me to reply... that I mean that much to you. Basically, I'm the center of your little world, i.e. you've become my bitch.
So as long as you understand how this relationship is going to work, you can carry it on for as long as you desire. Choice is yours.
Uh, Demonsemen, you just responded as though Fred the Fourth and I were one and the same. We're not, so your "now you're getting the idea" response makes no sense at all.
As for my supposed inferiority complex, I have no such thing. You're the one with the micropenis and the garnished wages and the prostitute mom. While I may pity you, I'm not above mocking you just for laughs.
Especially when you make it so easy.
How many satanic tattoos do you have? There's a bet riding on this, so be honest.
Jesus, Moe & Larry: Don't wait for the robots, get yourself a pro if you have to. You are seething with hostility on here constantly -- maybe a little horizontal refreshment would take the edge off.
Fred tells me: "You are seething with hostility on here constantly -- maybe a little horizontal refreshment would take the edge off."
Well, chuckles, you're an unabashed supporter of aggressive warfare, torture, and gay-bashing. Apparently - going by your own hypothesis - you've never been laid in your life or you were born without genitals.
As much as I enjoy sex and sexual discussions, I've got to say the quality of the comments is much higher on the economics-oriented posts.
And no sneering about the robots - they may not quite be THERE yet, but that is no excuse for bigotry against our flesh-challenged future partners in sensual revelry.
Jens Fiederer says: "And no sneering about the robots - they may not quite be THERE yet, but that is no excuse for bigotry against our flesh-challenged future partners in sensual revelry."
You may be right, Jens, but if I'm staying at your house there's no way I'm using the toaster.
Peter: It's a technology that would be irrelevant to you. Should "sexbots" ever become reality, they'll be for male nerds who can't get laid.
Proto-sexbots do exist in the form of vibrators. While male analogues exist, they're not nearly as popular. My guess is that sexbots would be at least as popular with single women beyond a certain age as they would with male nerds.
"Well, chuckles, you're an unabashed supporter of aggressive warfare, torture, and gay-bashing."
I do think conducting warfare aggressively is better than conducting it passively, and I am on record here as supporting the judicious use of waterboarding (which some of you call torture), but when have I ever said a bad word about gays? Let me know. Thanks.

You vote for gay-bashers, ergo you support them, chuckles.
As for the moral idiocy of pretending that waterboarding isn't torture, it has been considered as such by every decent American in the past when it was used by our enemies. This is the grand achievement of the Bushpig maggots you love - they have made America an open and proud employer of Gestapo tactics. You're an amoral relativist.
Kill yourself before you vote again. It would make the world a better place.

Classy. And bravely stated ... anonymously of course.

I notice you don't bother to say I'm incorrect.
You know who else is anonymous? The evil pricks who are actually doing the torturing. May they (along with each and every person up the chain who ordered it) die painful, lonely, lingering deaths.
Fred is incredulous: "I don't recall voting for any gay-bashers. Care to tell me who you think you are referring to? "
Why, Fred, you surprise me. You're a Repiglican. The Repiglican Party has only a few real core beliefs left, but one of them is that them thar gays is wicked, wicked hellbound folks.
Um...
You may want to read the iPhone manual again.

More like men who don't want to pay women for sex.
All men pay for sex, one way or another. It's the nature of the game.
By the way, the author is NOT George Mason economist David Levy. Thank God.
Uh, anyone else interested in the idea of McArdle-bot?!
I'd rather have Kusanagi. Told my wife if that ever becomes a possibility it's going on our "must buy" list. She agreed as long as she keeps first dibs on me.
So is this your way of telling me our Saturday night bar crawl is off?
The post title reminds me of a lyric from Jonathan Coulton's song Chiron Beta Prime
I think this might be the time to gush about my adoration of "Coin Operated Boy".
We generally call those vibrators, and there is much less social stigma attached to them.
P.S. If yours is charging you, switch to the models that eat batteries ;)

My toaster might be safe, but I'm definitely putting behind lock and key my vacuum cleaner.

I've never made a single threat here, RMc. Please learn to read. And learn how to post, too.

That was actually pretty funny. Never heard of that guy before.
