Serves you better.

Calling betamax3000...

I would spend most of my time faking it out.

rhhardin ayon kay ...

They need one to assist cats.

Mark O ayon kay ...

Creepy. Very creepy.

Tibore ayon kay ...

One step closer to the Skynet apocalypse. One day they're serving you beer, the next day: Terminator.

What Pogo said.
Can it learn as you fake it out? Does it get all snarky and sarcastic?

rhhardin ayon kay ...

Google search bar is the same sort of thing.

Stupidity with a vast frequency database.

Why are so many anti-technology people commenting on "Wired"? Do they read it just to know what they are supposed to hate next?

A robot like that would be awesome for old people (or anyone) with some physical infirmaries who still want to live on their own.

I'd program it to go all passive aggressive. "What? You changed your mind and didn't want it..."

KCFleming ayon kay ...

It would be great if occasionally the robot would slap you in the back of the head. Just so's you don't get complacent.

Or maybe it could be like Inspector Clouseau's butler Cato, and lay traps for you.

@Mitch H beat me to it. I speculate it's an Althouse nod to him.

Astro ayon kay ...

I thought that's what girlfriends are for.

Eric the Fruit Bat ayon kay ...

"Have you ever dreamed of owning a personal robot servant to pour your beers for you?"

No, of course not.

What a stupid question.

Hopefully the robot copywriters of the future will do better.

Eric the Fruit Bat ayon kay ...

Besides, in the future we all know that it'll be the humans who serve the robots.

We'll not be serving them beer, but rather, hot chocolate.

virgil xenophon ayon kay ...

I'm reminded of that supreme exemplar of Latin machismo Fernando Lamas, when newly married to Arlene Dahl and sitting at the kitchen-table within arms-length of the refrigerator, and asking Arlene to get him a beer. "Get it yourself," she replied. "Why should I move across the room when your right next to it?" "That's what I have you for, " replied Lamas. LOL.

virgil xenophon ayon kay ...

*"you're" geesh.

edutcher ayon kay ...

Are we talking the new, improved Microsoft Bob?

Why do you promote this kind of pornography?

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

I ain't gonna work on Robot's farm no more
No, I aint gonna work on Robot's farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of Robots
That are drivin' me insane
It's a shame the way Robot makes the Comments Pour
I ain't gonna work on Robot's farm no more.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

I'll only get worried if the robot cuts me off!

Why do you promote this kind of pornography?

I'd like to see a poll asking what kind of pornography we would like Althouse to promote.

( ) S&M with cons portrayed in S position, libs in M.
( ) S&M with libs portrayed in M position, cons in M.
( ) Pics of Hoover in a dress
( ) Fake pics of Bachmann and Coulter going at it

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

If you want to make a poll where people can actually vote, go here:

Then link to your poll in the comments.

sakredkow ayon kay ...

Well that's interesting.

Crunchy Frog ayon kay ...

Researchers at Cornell University have programmed a robot that can predict what you’re about to do and offer up a helping hand. Using a Microsoft Kinect sensor, the robot watches your body movements.

For one thing, having a robot watching me jack off creeps me out. And I certainly don't want it lending me a helping hand.

Well, maybe one of the fembots from the Kia commercials...

Uh-oh, betamax3000's gone electric.

Mitch H. ayon kay ...

( ) S&M with libs portrayed in M position, cons in M.

That sounds like a non-viable relationship:

M1: "Hurt me, I'm a bad boy!"
M2: "You first, I've been worse!"

Palladian ayon kay ...

Who drinks beer out of a coffee cup?
