I have a pile of phones on my desk going back several generations because I've wanted to build exactly this but it's been a constant "soon" project.

Thank you for accelerating "soon". This is wonderful.

Ugh, continuing the dialog of Levy, Pearson, and Realbotix, all of whom are violently overquoted at this point. Levy’s original thesis was boring and heteronormative when it was published almost 20 years ago, and is worse while not having been redeveloped at all now. Pearson is also well know for “women will implant ipods in their breasts” and what not, he’s the futurist you can get to say anything for a good daily mail quote. Realbotix basically exists to get press at CES and that’s about it.

Glad that the article does take the whole subject to task but I’m just kinda ready to move on to something more useful. It’s a continued media engagement over things that were vacuous to begin with.

(Granted I work in the industry so this is also a case of massive overexposure heh.)

There’s interesting stuff happening in sex tech, but sex with robots sure ain’t it.
