No, it wouldn't. It allows companies and states to mass produce human beings with whatever genetic variations they wish. Women are a very critical resistor to that kind of consolidation of control of our species.

Lois McMaster Bujold pretty definitively argues for this in her Vorkosigan books.

Bro imagine how big we can get our skulls with no pelvic floor!

I agree. Based on my secondhand observations, pregnancy is 9 months of discomfort in one form or another, followed by plumbing problems for years afterwards. Nobody should go through that if they don't wish to.

We second this, as a trans woman, it would be really nice to actually have a child like any other woman even if it's through external means, or for women who simply don’t want/cant carry a child safely or are of parents who cant conceive/aren’t about to convince easily.

Chinese propaganda slop. Nothing substantial to see here. I don't even know why this is not immediately deleted by mods.

We just need something "good enough", it doesn't need to be fully developed, just to grow up enough to mop some floors, maybe pick some items in an amazon warehouse

All these related AI claims like "AI will cure cancer" or anything related to AI solving otherwise unsolved scientific problems are always hilarious. Curing cancer or any other disease requires us to fully understand the biological mechanisms of the disease enough to then even attempt to affect it with a drug.

AI learns and does its thing via input data from human knowledge and our current understanding. How can AI possibly gain an understanding of the disease mechanism or biological/biochemical system beyond that which humans understand? Not to mention it can't perform any sort of experiments to even test an idea.

Sure I can appreciate it speeding up certain analyses that are otherwise tedious to do ourselves, but it's never going to spit out some magic bullet cure

30 years, yes, but for the past 15 or so it's been clear that China is pulling way ahead in every metric. I think home ownership has been in the 90s% for a long time. Likewise, the fall of the American empire started with Reagan, it was clear where this train was headed, capitalism will always end in fascism.

Can the robots crush them too or does that require different robots?

Hopefully some bright mind will be able to merge this with the crushing machine and we can enter a new golden age of technology.

Both those links are about the same (fake) robot by Kaiwa Technology.

I'm sickened by how many "flawed trials" are going to result out of such a thing before it "succeeds."

Even as a goal, this is so wrong on every level. The stuff of nightmares.

You're right, so there's a 99.9% chance it's AI generated for clickbait

The answer is: gen AI slop.

However, the obsession with bi-pedal robots is creepy and weird.

I watched someone on YouTube talking about it but can't remember the channel.

Basically, there is no single task for which bipedal is the best format, it's only suitable for the range of tasks humans can perform. However, we just don't have the tech to make that format viable. As in, they can't do the dishes or clean the bathroom or take out the trash.

Demonstrations of bots doing those things are in tightly controlled environments with loads of programmed parameters.

Its appealing because everyone wants a humanoid to order around, but that's about it.

I am pretty sure the picture is not representative of the actual device.
