"Love with robots will be as normal as love with other humans," Levy writes, "while the number of sexual acts and lovemaking positions commonly practiced between humans will be extended, as robots teach us more than is in all of the world's published sex manuals combined."

I am so turned on right now.

Levy stipulates, near the end of the book, that an important part of sexuality is "the possibility of failure or denial," and thus sexbots will need to be able to mimic human "capriciousness." But at some point you wind up with sexbots out of control, which, come to think of it, is a great idea for a science fiction movie.

If Levy is right, the era of rambunctious robot love is not far in the future.

I think we have a thread about this.

[Triple Zero]

Have you guys, especially Cram, read "The Silver Metal Lover"?

[Jasper]

And you people mock me.

Deviants.

[Triple Zero]

we mock you?

devi ants?

Robots have replaced human labor on earth, causing massive unemployment in a world devastated by pollution and natural disasters. Then Electronic Metals releases a new line: performing artists and sexual companions designed to entertain human partners. Jane, a rich, lonely, and insecure 16-year-old, meets one, the minstrel Silver, and falls passionately in love, despite revulsion at the idea of preferring a mechanical man to a human. She gives up everything she has known for him, and discovers herself. Silver becomes more and more "human" in loving her--a clever illusion created by his programming. Or is it? This unstable society can't afford any evidence that some robots might be indistinguishable from humans.

I love you guys.

So, my only question is; why the middle of the night, when nobody is really affected, or cares?

[Requia ☣]

I think so he can continue for a while and get a whole bunch in before an admin wakes up.

It's actually rather helpful, since he doesn't cause any real damage or disruption, and we get to ban a bunch of proxies that other, more motivated or hacking-savvy people might use to cause us some real discomfort.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. He got to spend hours (hours!) spamming at a time when only a few people were even here to notice, and then you guys come along, do a little deletion and proxy-banning, and he gained... 

The joy of spending several hours bumping threads?
