He's not an idiot, and I find him totally interesting. He also asks questions as a host with the intention to intrigue the viewer. Shocking idea, I know!

Bina48 needs a tag, too, speaking of self deception.

I've heard that "I'm a real robot" response word for word in at least one other video about it. Thing is middling animatronic technology attached to a glorified version of Bucket.

It's exactly the kind of self deception that lets the Ekso guy say that working on the military-backed technology for a "super soldier" is "cool" without any apparent thought about the ehtics of his involvement with it.

I've had some contact with people involved with similar stuff (unmanned drones, autonomous robots that operate underwater do disable - but definitely not place, of course... definitely not - mines) and that complete denial of any moral responsibility for the technology you are developing being used for its intended purpose seems to be pretty much the standard.

Classic NRA "guns don't kill people" logic.

It's weird, but I think I'm more offended that they believe they're going to perfect this "memory backup" thing in about 30 years. And that it means a human will live forever.

Punch engineer faces.

Some of the people who seem to believe most strongly in the inevitability of the Singularity, and that they'll be able to slough off their meathusk for a shiny new robo-body or upload their consciousness into a cyberpunkish cyberspace are also the sort of hideous nerds, spazs, social retards, XKCD fans and regular Boing Boing commentors who couldn't get laid in a Tiajuana brothel wearing clothes made from 100-dollar bills. This is not coincidental, I am thinking.

If they succeed, they won't need their cocks anyway.

i think bina has been getting some action
