It may be the wave of the future, but I still jerk off manually...

Hey, check out the movie "Automata".  Very well done, and touches on this concept of robots altering themselves.

As much as I love the original Terminator I have always said that by the time we have indistinguishable (from Human) AI we ourselves will be so augmented with technology that it will be very difficult to tell what started as a computer and what started as biology (singularly, personally, and collectively).

Pleasure bots?

Maybe we could have bots do all the bullshit work that we hate so we all can sit around and drink beer.
Oh yeah and free beer since it's made by bots.


Out here we are all his children

Australians have already wired the pleasure center of the brain (for women only so far) so there's no need for all that yucky exchange of body fluids.

The only problem is early research into this sort of thing wired rats up with two choices (levers delivering), food or pleasure, and all of the test subjects died of starvation but with little smiles on their faces.

Quote from:
"In 1954, James Olds and Peter Milner accidentally implanted an electrode into the [pleasure centers] of a rat and discovered that it became very energized, so they purposely set up an apparatus such that whenever a rat pressed a bar it generated a small electrical stimulation to the area. The rats pressed the bar until they collapsed, even to the point of forgoing food and water. [...] The effect has since been found in all mammals tested, including humans."
– Page 113 The Mind of the Market by Michael Shermer

I'm all for the beer thing.

Huh, maybe this is all some big build-up to the Terminator Genisys trailer that they are gonna show on Superbowl Sunday.  ???

I dunno, IMO I think it's all gonna end up like futurama.  We're going to have useful bots and then we're going to have bots like bender who just don't give a fuck either way.  Just as they say that God made Man in His image, so too shall we make AI's in our own.
