Meet Sophia: The first robot declared a citizen by Saudi Arabia

Proverbs 1:20-33

20 Sophia crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Instead of conversational skills they ought to be focusing on giving her more realistic tits and a self cleaning vagina with ABS and regular oil changes. Otherwise the following vocabulary should suffice:

"Oooh, you are so biiiig..!!!"
"Deeper deeper!!"
"Me love you long time!"
"Do feel like anal?"
etc.
....

That's freakishly terrifying.

I was contemplating the evolution of other technologies, often they follow a S-curve like evolution: not much happens early, slow progress, sometimes due to underlying technologies needing to reach a critical point. Then almost all of a sudden, the technology explodes (middle of S-curve) and finally it matures and evolves at a very sluggish pace. We really might be hitting the start of that middle, highly explosive part of robotics now.

Electronics has gotten exponentially cheaper the past few decades.

Sensor costs have dropped by orders of magnitude in the past decade.

Robotics (the mechanical aspect) had made some impressive advances.

AI is chugging along.

This really may be it.

Would you date a robot? More than a quarter of millennials say they would replace a human lover with a DROID

Quote:Quote:

As robots become an ever increasing part of our daily lives, humans could soon find love with the machines, according to a new report.

The report suggests that over a quarter of 18-34 year-olds will feel it's normal to form friendships and even romantic relationships with robots in the future instead of humans.

And it seems that men are more likely to embrace the bots, with the report indicating that males are three times more likely to form a relationship with a robot than women.

Brave new world? How about a sad, lonely, and pathetic world filled with weak men who just want to be left alone to masturbate in peace?

The reason there is no such option, is the same reason why automation is not advanced. It is much cheaper to use humans from another country (ie: china). You could get what you are looking for by going to Thailand or Mexico.

It'll be very expensive to develop such a robot even though what you suggested is feasible right now. No one is paying 25k-50k for a robot as they can take a flight and get the real thing cheaper.

Quote:Quote:

There’s a video of Gal Gadot having sex with her stepbrother on the internet. But it’s not really Gadot’s body, and it’s barely her own face. It’s an approximation, face-swapped to look like she’s performing in an existing incest-themed porn video.

The video was created with a machine learning algorithm, using easily accessible materials and open-source code that anyone with a working knowledge of deep learning algorithms could put together.


A clip from the full video, hosted on SendVids, showing Gal Gadot's face on a porn star's body.

It's not going to fool anyone who looks closely. Sometimes the face doesn't track correctly and there's an uncanny valley effect at play, but at a glance it seems believable. It's especially striking considering that it's allegedly the work of one person—a Redditor who goes by the name 'deepfakes'—not a big special effects studio that can digitally recreate a young Princess Leia in Rogue One using CGI. Instead, deepfakes uses open-source machine learning tools like TensorFlow, which Google makes freely available to researchers, graduate students, and anyone with an interest in machine learning.

Like the Adobe tool that can make people say anything, and the Face2Face algorithm that can swap a recorded video with real-time face tracking, this new type of fake porn shows that we're on the verge of living in a world where it's trivially easy to fabricate believable videos of people doing and saying things they never did. Even having sex.

So far, deepfakes has posted hardcore porn videos featuring the faces of Scarlett Johansson, Maisie Williams, Taylor Swift, Aubrey Plaza, and Gal Gadot on Reddit. I’ve reached out to the management companies and/or publicists who represent each of these actors informing them of the fake videos, and will update if I hear back.

Fake celebrity porn, where images are photoshopped to look like famous people are posing nude, is a years-old category of porn with an ardent fan base. People commenting and voting in the subreddit where deepfakes posts are big fans of his work. This is the latest advancement in that genre.

“This is no longer rocket science.”

According to deepfakes—who declined to give their identity to me to avoid public scrutiny—the software is based on multiple open-source libraries, like Keras with TensorFlow backend. To compile the celebrities’ faces, deepfakes said he used Google image search, stock photos, and YouTube videos. Deep learning consists of networks of interconnected nodes that autonomously run computations on input data. In this case, they trained the algorithm on porn videos and Gal Gadot’s face. After enough of this “training,” the nodes arrange themselves to complete a particular task, like convincingly manipulating video on the fly.

Artificial intelligence researcher Alex Champandard told me in an email that a decent, consumer-grade graphics card could process this effect in hours, but a CPU would work just as well, only more slowly, over days.

“This is no longer rocket science,” Champandard said.

The ease with which someone could do this is frightening. Aside from the technical challenge, all someone would need is enough images of your face, and many of us are already creating sprawling databases of our own faces: People around the world uploaded 24 billion selfies to Google Photos in 2015-2016. It isn’t difficult to imagine an amateur programmer running their own algorithm to create a sex tape of someone they want to harass.

Deepfakes told me he’s not a professional researcher, just a programmer with an interest in machine learning.

“I just found a clever way to do face-swap,” he said, referring to his algorithm. “With hundreds of face images, I can easily generate millions of distorted images to train the network,” he said. “After that if I feed the network someone else's face, the network will think it's just another distorted image and try to make it look like the training face.”

In a comment thread on Reddit, deepfakes mentioned that he is using an algorithm similar to one developed by Nvidia researchers that uses deep learning to, for example, instantly turn a video of a summer scene into a winter one. The Nvidia researchers who developed the algorithm declined to comment on this possible application of their work.

In almost all of the examples deepfakes has posted, the result isn’t perfect. In the Gadot video, a box occasionally appeared around her face where the original image peeks through, and her mouth and eyes don’t quite line up to the words the actress is saying—but if you squint a little and suspend your belief, it might as well be Gadot; other videos deepfakes have made are even more convincing.

Porn performer Grace Evangeline told me over Twitter direct messages that porn stars are used to having their work spread around free to tube sites like SendVid, where the Gal Gadot fake is uploaded, without their permission. But she said that this was different. She’d never seen anything like this.

“One important thing that always needs to happen is consent,” Evangeline said. “Consent in private life as well as consent on film. Creating fake sex scenes of celebrities takes away their consent. It’s wrong.”

Even for people whose livelihoods involve getting in front of a camera, the violation of personal boundaries is troubling. I showed Alia Janine, a retired porn performer who was in the sex industry for 15 years, the video of Gadot. “It’s really disturbing,” she told me over the phone. “It kind of shows how some men basically only see women as objects that they can manipulate and be forced to do anything they want... It just shows a complete lack of respect for the porn performers in the movie, and also the female actresses.”

I asked deepfakes whether he considered the ethical implications of this technology. Did consent, revenge porn, and blackmail enter their mind while developing this algorithm?

“Every technology can be used with bad motivations, and it's impossible to stop that,” he said, likening it to the same technology that recreated Paul Walker’s post-mortem performance in Furious 7. “The main difference is how easy [it is] to do that by everyone. I don't think it's a bad thing for more average people [to] engage in machine learning research.”

Ethically, the implications are “huge,” Champandard said. Malicious use of technology often can’t be avoided, but it can be countered.

“We need to have a very loud and public debate,” he said. ”Everyone needs to know just how easy it is to fake images and videos, to the point where we won't able to distinguish forgeries in a few months from now. Of course, this was possible for a long time but it would have taken a lot of resources and professionals in visual effects to pull this off. Now it can be done by a single programmer with recent computer hardware.”

Champandard said researchers can then begin developing technology to detect fake videos and help moderate what’s fake and what isn’t, and internet policy can improve to regulate what happens when these types of forgeries and harassment come up.

“In a strange way,” this is a good thing, Champandard said. “We need to put our focus on transforming society to be able to deal with this.”

More likely it's merely highly advanced programming.

The Chads will still get tails they already get. What is going to crash the sexual market is the beta, this is what women really worry about, because the betas are seen by women as plan B to settle down. Women know they can always get some beta guy thirsty for some sex lucky to get a BJ once a year.

Once the thirst start to go way and your average double chin manboobs can get a sex robot that look like that big titted character he saw on a TV show or video game, why he will settle down with a woman past her prime with saggy tits and more likely some Chad's kid?

Women know beta males will never be with a 9, buit they know men don't care if is a robot with the body of a 9. And that scares the shit out of women.

Interesting that she resorted to traditional female gender roles to show how she and women are better. Suddenly her value is not just her vagina, is her role under the patriarchy.

Women not longer compete with only other women, they now compete with women men created to look the way men want.

It would be ironic if sex robots end up bringing traditional gender roles back to the West.

Easy. Anything that doesn't compute is responded to with "hah, I see what you did there".

It will either be correct or the human will assume the computer picked up on something they missed.

I'm worried about this tech for China, personally. I think there are a lot of dudes in china who will be getting nothing as far as dating prospects, so robots like these will seal them out of the dating pool forever. Sorta depressing to think about. China is already headed for a demographic collapse and tech like this might just exacerbate the problem in places like Singapore, Japan and China.

Why feel bad for them? Good solves the thirst and helps balance the pool of males vs females especially in rural areas.

People can be easily awed by technology as it is today & it's a fair bet folk will be awed even more as technology progresses.
Yet that does not mean that the highly & very well programmed / routined robot will be an entity of independent & sentient thought in & of itself.

Then if a robot was truly capable of independent & sentient thought.
With no base instincts nor biological instincts, with no ego nor emotion.
People expect future robots to behave as a biological human would, yet what's to say the average response from a future robot won't simply be a blank stare?

Future robots could well end up being the ultimate nihilists.

I went to the company site and looked at the menu.

Maybe is the lighing on this one, but the face of this one doll is very realistic.
