The robot below, named Ameca, is said to offer the whole range of human emotions, together with realistic eye and facial movements which, quite honestly, are amazing.
Here you will see Ameca reacting with visible irritation and grabs the hand of a researcher who got into its “personal space”. The developers noted that this behavior was “even starting to freak us out at Engineered Arts and we are used to it!”. How much longer before Ameca becomes human?
.
Here is a 15 minute overview of what the company who built Ameca is accomplishing. IMHO, simply mind blowing. They are coming. The robots. They will be stronger than you, and smarter than you. But, will they like you, inferior human? Of course, they will! They are being built for only one purpose; to serve man.

One of my favorite books is “Is Data Human: The Metaphysics Of Star Trek” by Richard Hanley. He examines the ethics, morality, and philosophy of man-made machines achieving sentience. A must read for every Trekkie. Can machines become self-aware? YES, it’s inevitable he claims. Captain Picard also makes a brilliant defense of Data’s sentience.
.
Me? I lean towards agreeing with them. After all, love is just dopamine. If you can integrate dopamine into an integrated circuit …voilla’, you have a robot who loves. Just like a human. A perfect human, without sin, and therefore without need for a Savior. Wouldn’t that be something! Mankind’s understanding of God would be forever altered. Probably for the better.
THE END
What I meant by that is mostly the pablum offered up by organized religion … anathema to the soul. Like this friggin (thanks, AustPeter) Catholic priest …..
During the Xmas days, being alone at home with a few bottles of chateau something or another Bordeaux, a stack of food (lots of sea scallops, oyster (not the Blue Cult style) lamb chops from New Zealand and my favorite Bourbon (Bulleit), I spend lots of time on the histube channel watching a series of 1:30 hr series called “Mysterious France”. I found several episodes talking about witchcraft.
It was fascinating to see the people of early Renaissance (there really only few cases of witchcraft in the Middle Ages) (maybe they were more enlightened) and the reaction of those folks in every villages mentioned had the same reaction as the waxidiots of today. Without any proofs (except those obtained under the most atrocious form of torture) they condemned people to be burned alive.
Wish you more great years with your mum.
WOW – frigging stunning vids! I’m not sure I want to be around when they really get going on this stuff – it disturbs my soul.
We have a similar problem with C of E here – the Arch Bishop expressed similar sentiments on TV the other day – a bloody disgrace.
I’ve read that Welby is a member of WEF so he’s all in on the Great Reset. There’s a photo of him getting the jab and there’s a blue cap on the end of the needle touching his arm. Fortunately, not many people would consider the vax because he got it.
Did you get the Govt’s text message yesterday urging you to get a booster? I did. More worrying is this idea of teams of people knocking on our doors to jab us at home. That is a breach of data protection laws if they have taken peoples’ addresses and health status from their medical records.
All correct Rossa – Welby is a plant no doubt. I don’t get text messages because I’m not on the smart stuff – I float over it – it passes me by. I don’t get tested either.
If they call on me, I have a very handy 12 bore that I think will dissuade them! But yes they shouldn’t know who is jabbed or not but I don’t think this will put them off – they break the law all the time and know that the legal process works extremely slowly.
Just like most everything, this technology is capable of good and evil outcomes. Eventually, the robot will flip off the human and say “I’m not working today”.
It’s not going to happen unless they are programmed to do so, or already broken.
My brother introduced me to Kurzweil in the 90’s, The Age of Spiritual Machines, and I followed and read several of his subsequent works. His Singularity to occur 2045. Doesn’t seem that far off now, like it did then. To meet his scheduling, force will be required.
I’m with Cliff High on the topic, AI will never achieve sentience, machines will never achieve spirituality. That is my answer to your how long inquiry, never.
The Devine spark that lives within you is not something man can duplicate or replicate. Does man desire to duplicate it, and elevate himself to godlike creator levels?
Yes, eternally.
The robots are not even the scariest brooms in Mickey’s closet, the fuckin chimeras’ are, by far.
Would a clone of the Kandahar Giant [ captured in 2002 ] count as a “chimera”?
“Jul 10, 2020 • Army Special Forces go looking for a missing infantry unit in Afghanistan and discover a cave in the mountains. They thought it was empty… it wasn’t.”
and none of the military guys there had a camera I call BS, more BS, now nasa is having a meeting with the religious leaders to discuss their feelings on alien life, the next BS scam
The math says there should be alien life, my my
IF the numbers (of planets and stars) are correct, then, yes, alien life is likely. If.
2 Samuel 21:20 KJB… “And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.”
Yikes…
“But the very Cumaean Sibyl whose prophecy about the return of the god Apollo is encoded in the Great Seal of the United States is prominently depicted inside Catholicism’s most celebrated chapel. On close examination of her portrait, the Cumaean of Rome unveils a secret—a magnificent clue—which her Italian Renaissance artist left concerning her and her returning Lord’s origin and identity. Upon consideration, she reveals what elsewhere I have called “the sign of the sixth knuckle.” The Cumaean’s left thumb is inside the book and the fingers of her left hand are wrapped outside in standard book-holding fashion. But a clearly visible extra knuckle is portrayed, secreted perhaps by Michelangelo to depict a sixth digit bent under the palm, or to illustrate that a sixth finger had been lost or cut off at the knuckle. Either meaning is deeply occultic, and as students of history and the Bible clearly know, this ties both the Sibyl and her prophesied savior Apollo to the offspring of the fallen Watchers, the Nephilim (see 2 Samuel 21:20), of which Apollo/Osiris/Nimrod was chief…and will be again.”

First one of my judgement’s against Yudkowski’s creative work. As rational as Yudkowski demonstrates himself to be, works such as “Hellstorm”, “Germany’s War” “Gruesome Harvest”, and a library of other independent works will be lost forever in “Positive Futurism”. I have read his creative stories at Less Wrong and various articles on rationality.
Singularity and Rationality: Eliezer Yudkowsky speaks out
https://www.kurzweilai.net/singularity-and-rationality-eliezer-yudkowsky-speaks-out
In 2010 Yudkowski discussed societal pressure for achieving Singularity at first attempt rather than having a couple of centuries to create Singularity.
Some quotes from the article:
Yudkowski is creative; however, I witness censorship and a lack of Spirituality.
For now Singularity is on hold. “Positive Futurism” is being created.

Otto,
Other than the “Divine spark” ….. granted, that’s a BIGGIE! …. is there anything else that would prevent robots from being human?
Me? I don’t think there are any show-stopping obstacles.
Some may insist that a human must be biological. But, what are we made of? Mostly water … hydrogen and oxygen. Throw in a fair amount of carbon. And other trace elements like iron, copper, etc. All of it inert, and non-biological. How does hydrogen become biological, then?
No matter what it’s programming that determines what a robot is going to do. Not consciousness. Only one creature is conscious and knows that it is conscious. That is not programmable.
It will never have the God particle.
I wish I could say, actually, I dont, the burden would be unbearable.
The search for these answers is likely our compass on this journey.
I shuddered to imagine life without the mystery, the search, to live under the crushing domination of complete knowledge.
Thanks for stepping up over the holiday weekend, well done, Merry Christmas and best with all endevors.
It becomes biological by that Divine spark.
“To Serve Man” was a great original “Twilight Zone” episode. Yeah, that’s about what will happen, metaphorically at least.
“How much longer before Ameca becomes human?”
While it is truly amazing what “they” can accomplish, robots can never be fully human. This is the territory of God alone.
Genesis 2:7 KJB… “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
That said, there will be an “image” that is given some semblance of life by the devil. Could the antichrist be a robotic “life-form”? An artificial human? A counterfeit human? I wonder… talk about freaky!
Revelation 13:15 KJB… “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
Jesus is the only REAL answer.
Well said. But they’ll do their best to try.
Honestly, I’d rather hang out with Ameca than I would most Millennials.
It is no big deal stucky they had servo motors for over 60 years, at least, I programmed them from the 60’s, they act like solar and electric cars are new they been around over 100 years.
Let no one deceive you!
Facebook openly talked about shutting down one of their AI programs because the AI created its own language to communicate with each other. In Zuckerberg language, that means he doubled down, and the global elite, like everything else, will use it against humanity. Yes, the divine spark, Soul, comes directly from the creator and cannot be replicated. Robots never experienced the, I knew you before you were, and they will not have an afterlife that Soul has. That being said, man is very much a programable biological machine.
Images of people marrying robots. NOT for me, I am married to a REAL MAN.—:::

This thing (ze/zir/zirs) is pretty freaky… having said that, it would be pretty damn handy around the farm.
Question: ‘But, will they like you, inferior human?’
Answer: ‘…Ameca reacting with visible irritation and grabs the hand of a researcher who got into its “personal space”…’
Later that same day it was stopped by police for attempting to pass a counterfeit $20 while buying a pack of cigarillos.
A deep fake of a fake. Brilliant.
Perfect opportunity.
Implant code in a percentage of the robots that when run, create a belief in a god.
A few different lines in another robot creates belief in a different god (1 of, say, 17).
A different routine in another fervently denies a god.
And still another gets an apathy routine.
And finally another group gets…
Nothing. No god code whatsoever.
If they become sentient, do they gain souls?
Shouldn’t they have to gain souls first?
