1TFlop robot from Sony

R2-D2 would own both!

 

Nintendo's R.O.B. will demolish all.

 

Dc robots will just display dreamcast games and the ps3 robots will go mad trying to figure out the concept of fun

 

Which one? 1 or 2?

 

They'll tap our brains!

First they beg, next thing they use a stun gun, leech your computer files and your brain. We are doom3d!

 

Cooler would be a Terminator with the face of Ken Kutaragi shooting at the apprentice building from the Microsoft presentation.

 

Haven't you seen Asimov's 3 laws of robotics?

 

It's not (the film) released yet, is it?

 

Not as far as I know.
I was excited at it being made - but frankly the trailer I saw made me go :? more then anything. I seriously pictured this different then a cross between Terminator and Minority Report...
Then again maybe I'm wrong, it's just a trailer after all.

 

The trailer looked awful. I usually LOVE trailers (loved the league of extraordinary gentlemen trailer too, and the movie was pure crap), but this one... ewww

 

Yeah, going by trailer alone I would have dismissed the movie already. Right now I am still willing to give it a chance because of the source material though...

 

I must say, Will Smith got FIT! I mean, REALLY... Jeeez he put in some hours at the gym!!

 

Well I hate to be the one to break it to you all, but there ain't gonna be no Terminators, or KKbots, or any of that hoohaa...

We're talking about a Japanese company here! What you're more likely to get instead is a 8" tall, cute as a button, doll of a robot that's going to make you hate Sony (and perhaps your SO if you've got one) for making you look totally ghey walking down the sidewalk while this mechanical chimpanzee on your shoulder rattles off directions, and reads your email aloud to everybody within earshot... And you'll be frustrated that this marvel of technology that can do your math homework faster than you could even crack open the book, is about as useless as a pet rock when helping decide on what flavor of ice cream to pick out at the store...

 

whatever.

I'll just use a 100,000 volt taser on them.

 

Obviously not since those laws he listed are for Robocop.

For those interested here's Asimov's laws.

1. A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by the human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict the First or Second Law.

Anyway, anything with 1TFLOPS of AI made by SONY just gives me the shivers. Imagine coming home to find your real pets dead because of the various SONY quality issues/glitches that caused the robot to go bezerk because the pets didn't want to play.

 

Yet I imagine you'd lovingly let a Papero trash your home?

 

Hehe nope. That would be impossible since NEC's products especially computer based ones are pretty reliable. R100 did use a remote PC for AI but Papero is self contained. Also I'd feel much more secure knowing Papero's AI is not fed by hundreds of PS3 being used by gamers which have to reboot their machines when it has trouble reading discs and/or overheating.

Anyway SONY's decision to use a remote cluster as the brain is a brilliant idea fortunately for them because then they can also fix the imminent glitches with firmware upgrades wirelessly using PUSH technology.

 

I personaly await they day I can have my own Personcom.

 

Walkman, Discman, next thing u know we'll be lined up to buy a Freakman. Or a WHATTHEFUCKISTHATman
