Unfortunately, this is bullshit. Seriously, guys, I wish you were right and Hines was telling the truth, but please:
• Roxxxy has been designed with three functional orifices. These are not needed
• Two of her five "personalities" include "S&M Susan" and "Young."
• In fact, all the "personalities" are based on sex. Also, "Young" is not a personality.
• She's showing off the Adult Entertainment Expo, not CES, a robotics conference, or the World Personality Symposium
• This quote from Hines, which still makes me shudder with disgust:
"She can't vacuum, she can't cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean."So... yeah. It was a noble thought. But Roxxxy is for humping, not for helping. Sorry.

I'd like to point out that there is something very odd going on underneath all the sex/companion/spending-$9,000-for-a-talking-rubber vagina.
Yesterday's post explained that the idea came from someone who lost a loved one in the 9/11 attacks, because they wanted to preserve someone's personality in robot form after they are dead. In the second half of this video, we get to hear the robot's personality in action. Weather this is a joke or a real sample of the android's voice, BOTH SAMPLED PERSONALITIES TALK EXTENSIVELY ABOUT A CONSPIRACY BEHIND THE WTC ATTACKS. In fact, the second one even talks blatantly about "The Jews" knowing it was going to happen. What is happening here? Is this preloaded because the designer lost someone on 9/11 and thinks there was a conspiracy? Is this what they think horny men lacking any semblance of charm or confidence would choose to talk to a girl in lingerie about? Soccer, Porsches, and a vast conspiracy to kill thousands which links the US government, "Jews" and Al Qaeda? I'm lost.

Having a computer generated voice talk sexy or about jet fuel has got to be a new fetish. Rule 32? But seriously they couldnt have gotten a real person to prerecord a bunch of lines. For an extra $10 I can have Stephen Fry read my GPS directions to me. For the amount of money this thing costs they could have got some porn stars that fit these profiles to do the voices.

My two favorite quotes: "you have a nice weener"/ "did you know, 9 to 11 was an inside job"
This is just really creepy as all get out. The voice saying that they remember burning jet fuel, are you supposed to be having sex with a ghost, or a possessed sexbot? I'm really confused here.

As for the vacuum and cooking comment, it's one of those things where's it both sexist and somewhat true. In most families and relationships I know, the balance of housework still sees the woman doing a lot of the cooking and cleaning. Why? Old norms die hard, I guess. As long as the other person splits the housework some way, then it's not a problem right? Anyway...

Kevin replied to KatieTheta:
For the sake of argument, can't most people separate their fantasies (as perverse as they may be) from reality?
While it might be disturbing to see some of these traits that turn people on implemented in a sex doll, I don't think it necessarily means that these people would pursue those same types of sex partners in the real world. There has to be a disconnect, as no matter how much you try to pretend this doll is real, you know better. It doesn't necessarily correlate with real world desires.
A lot of people masturbate to some f*cked up stuff, but it generally doesn't go any further than that.

Anyone blowing that much cash to screw a fake person has just given up. I mean, they shouldn't be reproducing. I've seen some truly ugly, repulsive, socially inept people with spouses. Some people with no hygiene and you shudder to look at. If a person can't even achieve that level, then no, they shouldn't be reproducing.
At some level there is still a survival to the fittest drive, and people that pathetic have given up and need to be weeded out.

Kevin replied to boredatwork:
On a side note, we haven't considered that there might be people who are successful with real women AND would happily bang a sexbot. Sex comes in many fun colors.
As for the survival of the fittest, humanity has evolved into a species that seems hellbent on destroying itself in one way or another, so putting your hopes in the most aggressive people (aggressive in all things in life) doesn't seem like a winning proposition, either. We're pretty much doomed either way, so why not enjoy it with sexbots? :-D

This thing is AWESOME!! I love the rant about her dying on 9/11... BEST TOPIC while banging an expensive doll...
If I were to get one I'd have her like stuff that I dislike so we could bicker... or have her talk about my weiner getting her off almost as good as tons of bent steel crushing her and the Jonas Brothers...
She'd be a great conversation piece... If you place her on the living room with a bunch of drunk friends...

The robot rambles about her/it dying in 9/11 AND the things YOU like. I'd program one with things I HATE so when it starts rambling about how sexy is what I "like" and IT's "9/11 Death" I used the Jonas Bothers as an example.
But knowing Disney they probably ARE Robots just like Miley Cyrus...

Transcript of the personality designer conference
Person 1:"You know having sex with a robot just isn't depressing enough. Sure there is the soul crushing realization afterwards that you can't make a real connection with another human being, but I don't think that is enough. I feel like we're missing something."
Person 2:"We could make her talk about 9-11."
Person 1:"Brilliant!"

She can't vacuum? That's faulty design, isn't suction action vital in a relationship?

Yeah, what do you do with the thing the 23 hours and 55 minutes a day you're not using it for its intended purpose? OK, she talks but every talking machine ever made rapidly becomes repetitive and boring. It would be awesome if she was also a vacuum cleaner. Snap some wheels in her ears, you're good to go! They should also get an MP3 player in there and maybe make her a very sexy Wii controller... She slices, she dices... wait, that's veering into Robogeisha territory...

Before commenting, I should point out my computer doesn't have volume, so I can't appreciate the audio content. Having said that, I don't have a prolem with this. Granted, in their current form, they're pretty crude, but I imagine they'll improve with time. As others have pointed out, this is, at worst, a pricey high-tech masturbatory aid. And for others, it's an acceptabe compromise in lue of no human/humanoid contact. A lot of people are berating the would-be clientel for not pursuing actual relationships, but some might just be overcome with social anxiety (something I experienced for a long while). And while immersion is a remedy for some, for others it never takes. In those cases, I don't understand why people self-righteosly champion a "abide by my standards of sexality or be condemned to total solation" so proudly. In some ways, it's similar to owning a pet: both are a form interaction between a person an something that can'reciprocate or fully appreciate (though the difference between these two examples is obvious now, whose to say it will remain so in the future). It all comes down to the question, "Who does it harm?". Even in the worst case scenario of a violent, sexist chauvenist market emerging, all that happens is that there are now that many fewer violent, sexist chauvenists in the dating pool. And wanting someone/something that shares your views isn't narcissim or else dating surveys that match like-minded people would be. It's narcissism when the merit of those views are held in relation to your feelings of personal superiorty or importance. Seriously, why force the people who don't want or can't sustain relationships into relationships (presumably with others with whom it wouldn't work)? Why is it anyone's business other than the persons directly involved unless they're imposing themselves on others? Customers are accept that this isn't the real thing. Let them be.

I think we're missing a critical point here. All technological advances are sex-related. VCRs and VHS tapes? Porn. The Internet? Porn.
Webcams? Porn.
But, the fact that the technology exists is actually quite exciting. The sex-bot is horrifying, but the concept behind it is next-level, Ghost in the Shell-type shit.
Preserving someone's personality in a robotic body? How fucking cool would that be?
Just the fact that Roxxxy is programmed with five unique personalities (one dimensional as they may be) is a huge leap forward in AI. It's a very short leap to walking-talking androids with programmed personalities.

So I'd have to up that fee to $14,000 --- For that, I'd do my best, and blog about it, and then never speak of it again.
