A friend of mine seriously wants there to exist sexual robots. Only he
wants total realism, including brains/personality. I said, 'Why not
just get a whore?' He said that doesn't do it for him. What about a
slut? Well, the upshot of it is: real women are not submissive enough,
sincerely so, and respectable enough, all at once. That's my guess as
to his psychology and I'd guess that would also be a contradiction in
terms.

So, he wants perfectly realistic sexual robots with full-fledged
brains and personality. I said, 'Would a LITTLE resistance on her part
add challenge and realism? Shouldn't you every once in awhile have to
chase your sexual robot down the street?' He said "NO!"

So whatever it is he's looking for will have to wait for HAL 9000 with
a wig. I guess we're getting closer all the time...

In this case I doubt that such sex robot would like to have anything
to do with your friend.

In the NY City Museum sex there are some interesting
historical machines. Certainly many things I could never imagine.

There are HISTORICAL sex robots? I heard of a historical robot that
was supposed to play CHESS, but not one that was supposed to play
CHEST. However, the chess one was a fake, 'cuz there was a man inside.
Now, if they had had a fake one for pleasing the ladies as a sex
robot, that guy would have had a JOB.

There are historical sex machines. "Robot" might be going a bit far -
though clearly it covers some more recent developments.

This brings up some fascinating ideas in my view.

I believe that to create AI we need to create a reinforcement learning
machine. It will have to be raised and educated much like a human. At
least the first time, then unlike a human, we can clone it, and then have
each clone go on to learn new things. We might even be able to a limited
extent perform some type of brain-merge between two clones creating a
machine which has some merged form of the knowledge of the two.

But more important than these features is that we will also give these
machines their core motivations in the form of the hardware which defines
for them what creates pain for them and what creates pleasure. If we gave
the robots critic hardware which closely matched human core motivations,
and a learning brain with closly matched human learning ability, and
educated (aka raised it) in a very human like enviornment, the result would
be a very human like personality.

But if we gave it different core motivations, and a brain with different
learning skills, and raised it in a very different type of environment
(robot brain washing camp), the resulting behavior could be very non-human,
even though it was an intelligent conscious machine.

The interesting question is just what range of personalities could we
create by adjusting all these factors? What type of sex-slaves could you
build, and what would people actually find they like when we have the power
to engineer a very wide range of personalties?

What if the brain dump from a standard model X69 sex-bot could be uploaded
to the internet and shared? What if you could download multiple brain
dumps, and do a merge between them selecting merge factors (5% of Jane, and
50% Mary, and 45% slut-whore)? And if you didn't like the result you could
reload the old one you were using. Or you could keep a whole collection of
brain dumps and switch the bot's personality any time you wanted to fit
your mood.

Or maybe downloading personalities from the net would just be too dangerous
because someone could spend years training a bot to trick humans and kill
them, or steal from them, so you download this bot which seems to be the
prefect sex bot, and you have so much fun you send the file to all your
friends, and next think you know you are all handcuffed to your beds and
the bot is holding you prisoner and stealing everything you own.

Given the power to shape the personality, what type of personality would
most people actually want in a personal assistant robot?

No different from windows executables today: who do you trust.

the amusing example of this is the Speilberg movie A.I.
and the Jude Law character.

What makes us intelligent is a huge 100,000,000,000 neuron brain
trained constantly throughout life via experience. To have an
intelligent robot one will have to duplicate that.

Metadittos on all that.

Oh come on . That was a total joke. I suggested it as a joke and
you said no and that was the end of that. You think that with my body
I'd take my clothes off? Good grief. Talk about airing false dirty
laundry in public to millions of people who have nothing better to do
than to read crap in usenet.

My, my, how people can get pissed at one another and lie. Wifey had
not even come along yet. Money? Nope. God, "hell hath no fury like
a woman who's been chatted with and then a real flesh and blood person
comes along."

Jeez, after chatting with you for a month or so and you having
mentioned , barely, your children, I just asked an obvious question,
how many, or whatever it was, and when you said "Why do you want to
know" I thought "OK, bad move, forget it"

Ok. Whatever. I suppose I have been maintaining a bit of an interest
in what you have to write, and that does need to stop. What we have
here is a rather simple case of two people conversing on the internet,
neither really having any interest in traveling 6,000 miles to see the
other, then one of them for the first time in his lonely existence
sees an opportunity to hook up with someone who loves him in real life
in a city just 60 miles away, and how if circumstances had been
different things might have worked out with the chat partner, but they
weren't, and I wish you the best and I hope you keep trying, you know
how this game is played, and now we both shall blend back into the 7
billion pool of gas molecules circulating around.

Good job of it, Nic . I was going to try to communicate with you here
in usenet, but too many hard feelings. Bye.

Oh, PS. Suppose my wife had never happened along. But on your end
you meet someone in Chester that you fall for. I can just hear it:

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, I can't form a relationship with you, I'm chatting
with this Texan and he seems to be my dream love, so run along,
fellah.

Sure.
