>>41682 >It also doesn't help that I tend to stutter, repeat myself, and generally fail to convey my thoughts in a way that makes sense to other people. And it doesn't help that most communication with other people feels less like conveying information and more like jumping through hoops in an attempt to gain social acceptance. Dealing with people is more about figuring out a secret handshake than anything else and I just can't be bothered. Well as the board founder, I can tell you that you are the primary target audience for the efforts here. Disenfranchised & disillusioned men are the only ones who can really understand their own plights, humanly-speaking. But at the very least, effective, pleasing, & loving robowaifus can go a looong way towards comforting you in your distress. <---> OTOH, as a devout Christian, I can tell you that you don't have to stay in that condition. With or without robowaifus ever becoming a reality for you, you can find true & everlasting comfort, solace, and joy in the loving embrace of God your creator. Jesus Christ is offering each of us that higher, eternal life. I super highly recommend you take Him up on it! Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>41683 >Try treating it like a game. It's a game I hate and don't want to play anymore. >Use hand gestures. My non-verbal communication skills might be even worse than verbal. >Instead of the AI speaking for you, how about smart glasses giving you advice? The closest to that I've thought of is that I still have to speak, but the glasses tell me what to say. The biggest problem with that is the delivery. I'm sure people will catch on to the fact that I'm reading from a screen instead of actually paying attention to them. The only saving grace is the design would free me from needing to make something that covers my mouth. But I also have very small, yellow teeth, slur, stutter and don't pace my speech well, so completely hiding my face is probably a better idea. And that way I could probably even mutter "it's the jews" to myself without anyone catching on to what I really think. >>41684 There are consumer EEG headsets like the ones from OpenBCI, and there is Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) software available for free. So it's really just a matter of using something like x to find patterns between brain activity and FER to make it so I don't need a camera pointed at my own face all the time. It also helps that facial expressions and body movements tend to produce very strong signals that tend to be seen as interference when trying to focus on a specific part of the brain. This video is a good example of what I'm thinking of: youtube.com/watch?v=Ip83qSrecLo but keep in mind, that it's not supposed to read my mind and speak what I'd say if I were to speak out loud, just gauging my emotional reactions to what they're saying and what my AI is saying to keep me from getting too bored or annoyed. It doesn't need a fast reaction time for anything more important than "yes" or "no", which I could also just gesture by shaking my head before the AI has a chance to say anything. And that's in addition to regular pattern recognition. >>41685 Now you're just trolling. Please, be better than that.

>>41686 >something like x to find patterns between brain activity and FER "x" should have been OgmaNeo. I guess I cut that by accident.

>>41686 Have you tried practicing? Look at how people on realistic TV shows act. Be an actor. https://youtu.be/4t2qOTKOWlY?si=ysgeGcesl8giGkM- >The biggest problem with that is the delivery. I'm sure people will catch on to the fact that I'm reading from a screen instead of actually paying attention to them. Going back to actors, actors and news anchors often read from teleprompters. Again, practice is key! >yellow teeth Brush your teeth I guess >slur, stutter Try practicing the sounds you have trouble with. This is going to sound weird, but experiment with your mouth, see if you can produce different sounds. As for the stutter, well that's psychological. Note when you stutter to see what your trigger is. >Now you're just trolling. Please, be better than that. You clearly haven't been here long. Trust me, I've been regularly here for a little less than a year, and I can tell you, Chobitsu is being 100% genuine. The matter of fact is, the mini AI speaker is too ambitious. You would need to have PERFECT speech synthesis (matched to your voice), rendered almost instantaneously, from a computer that you have to hide on yourself. There's also the fact that speakers don't sound like normal human speech. If I play a Donald Trump speech on my phone, it doesn't sound like Donald Trump is in the room, it sounds like I have a Donald Trump speech on my phone. And that's only the technical side which I at first considered, later I realized the subtle horror of having something constantly speak for me on it's own.

>>41689 >Have you tried practicing? I'm 36. If I need to start taking lessons on how to sound like a normal human being at this age, I'm too far gone. >Brush your teeth I guess It's a deep cola-induced stain. And no amount of brushing that will fix my small teeth, and mouth is practically too small for my tongue. >You clearly haven't been here long. Long enough to know Chobitsu knows my IP and that he was threatening to ban me yesterday over religious BS, which is the sole reason why he decided to bring it up. >You would need to have PERFECT speech synthesis (matched to your voice) It'd probably be better if it didn't sound like me. >rendered almost instantaneously, from a computer that you have to hide on yourself. The only problem with that is battery life. You can strap a decent-sized laptop to your back without anyone questioning it if there isn't a fan blasting like it's ready for take-off. >There's also the fact that speakers don't sound like normal human speech. A bigger issue is that I'd be walking around with a face-concealing helmet. People can easily be duped into thinking it's just part of a costume and has a voice modulator, but the hard part is making something that doesn't look like it exists solely for the sake of hiding your identity while you mug them.

>>41686 >There are consumer EEG headsets like the ones from OpenBCI, and there is Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) software available for free. Well, as I mentioned, don't just talk about it, do it! You'll have my encouragement support as long as you keep us here all up to date on your progress. Good luck, Anon. :^) >Now you're just trolling. Please, be better than that. Lol. I assure you, I was not!! :D >>41691 >Long enough to know Chobitsu knows my IP Incorrect. I don't know anyone's IP address here (or anywhere else). And if I did, I would delete that information. You clearly don't understand me well, if you don't know that kind of thing about me fren. I try to take privacy & security quite seriously here. (cf. my thread: >>10000 ) --- >which is the sole reason why he decided to bring it up. Now take it easy Anon. a) I had no idea you were the same Anon until you yourself just brought it up, and b) I specified precisely what the issue was for you in that thread. I'd actually like your participation there as long as you adhere to that thread's specific, special rules. Regardless, as I mentioned, you're quite free to say what you want along those lines in the philosophy thread. Just don't violate board rules #1 & #2 while you're at it! (cf. >>3 ) Cheers, Anon. :^)

Hiki, if you're still here, an anon posted this concept on 4chan /g/

>>41686 I have an olimex 4 channel eeg in storage, a tDCS/tACS devices, and a cheap chinese rTMS machine in storage. When I get the house I will start using them more.

>>41695 Hmm. That may be a good idea, tbh. >>41696 Neat! Pics pls.

>>41700 I bet we could use the 4channel eeg to help train the AI to recognize facial expressions

Beware of RWT

>>41704 I knew he was countersignaling against us, but I didn't know it was that bad

>>41704 What bitch

>>41705 Worst case scenario I know mlpol.net will let us move into their /cyb/ board. They have hosted various online communities in the past

>>41704 Yeah, I'm well-aware of this. He's a) got issues (clearly); and b) is angry b/c myself & @Kiwi have banned him so many times for sh*te'g on everyone here in his anger & frustration. But he used to be a valid contributor here, and I'm holding out hope that he will be again someday. >>41705 (see above response) >>41707 Umm, we already have a) a primary board (here), b) a bunker board (trashchan), and c) a bunker-bunker "board" (junkuchan). Nothing at all personal against mlpol (I participated back when they first started out lol) but if we need anything further I'd like to keep it on the Webring, thanks. I wonder if they'd join the WR?

>>41708 Didn't know about junkuchan

>>41711 It's not yet active, but we already have the arrangement in place there with the Admin. I can turn it all on in 5 minutes.

Long term memory has just been solved https://cen.acs.org/biological-chemistry/dna/36-petabytes-DNA-data-storage/103/web/2025/09

>>41714 Wow! Thats a really cool idea. Thanks for the heads up, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>41708 Might be worth asking them about the webring.

>>41716 Agreed. You may be in closer contact with them today. I haven't participated in years.

>>41717 Whose email should I give them?

>>41718 Hmm. Maybe @Robi's or @Trashmin's ? [email protected] [email protected] Really, any Admin on the Webring can list them, those just happen to be the two I know offhand.

>>41719 >[email protected] top kek

>>41707 Good to know. >>41708 He's been shitting up /g/ and /diy/ threads as well.

Starbase, TX seems to be going at a pretty frenetic pace rn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs3tL895UKk

>>41720 Heh. I think it's an alternate for cock.li . Should I use it too!? :D >>41722 Understood.

when do you guys think we'll have indistinguishable robowaifus? im talking ones who you cant tell apart from humans i think 2035 ahhhhhh i hate waiting so much im so sick sick sick sick SICK and tired of modern women and the modern dating game it makes me want to vomit all of it makes me fucking disgusted

>>41725 I think that depends on many factors, Anon, most of which are out of our control as amateur robowaifu developers. OTOH, many, many advances have taken place so far... particularly during the past 5 years or so. So yeah, I don't think your estimate is too far off for some high-end (read: highly expensive) commercial robowaifu models. For those of us who can't afford it/wouldn't pay that type of premium, then we'll probably need to wait longer. --- Regardless, we here mean to literally introduce completely-opensource, completely-locally run robowaifus that any man can build himself as a kit. If we here succeed in a big way, then that will dramatically change everyone's timelines! Forward.

https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/clone-robotics-technology-revealed Clone Robotics Co-founder and CEO Dhanush Radhakrishnan recently sat down with tech content creator Anastasiia Nosova in a podcast to give insights into the company’s journey in building lifelike android robots using synthetic muscles. The California-based entrepreneur delved deep into the musculoskeletal design philosophy and product development that could help turn a fictitious sci-fi future into a solid reality.

>>41729 I wonder if they will ever stop treating this like a uni science project, and begin towards a product mindset. 'Ghoulish' is the word that comes quickly to mind. :D

>>41729 >>41741 This just seems like one of those overambitious, hype based semi-scams where they demo this really cool thing, promise sci-fi stuff, then do nothing with it.

>>41742 We've all been through this issue of humanoid robotics via hydraulics years ago here on /robowaifu/ . Complete non-starter. Physics simply won't allow for it in a mobile, bipedal-only, human-sized package given our tech. Sure if in the future we can package million PSI compressors & actuators in cigarette pack -sized forms, then maybe. But this begs the question would you yourself even want to be within a city block of such lethal energies? Would it even be ethical to allow such a thing anywhere near the public at all? --- Fun fact: in the US Navy, whenever they have a high-pressure steampipe leak onboard, they use broomsticks held out in front of them; waving them up & down as they slowly inch forward along the compartment wherever it's located. The entirely invisible jet of steam instantly slices the wooden handle into two when they reach it. They learned the hard way in the past to do it in this fashion when sailors accidentally'd their heads off instead. OTOH, these theoretical super-high pressure hydraulic liquid jet leaks would be much worse; insta-death for anyone or anything in probably a 50M+ range, and severe laceration injuries much further out. Plus, regular hydraulic fluid is toxic af to living tissue (and certainly not something you'd want stored inside your robowaifus). I doubt this "super fluid" would be any better at all.

>>41714 Neat, how do use affordably at low wattage? I assure you, needing to find the correct sequence, unzip, the re-zip the DNA is no easy, or fast feat. It is impressive for archival use. I do not understand how it'd bolster a waifu. I do hope you can prove me wrong. >>41725 >Indistinguishable? Never, you're trying to trick a quantum super computer that's designed to recognize its own kind. Simply not going to happen outside of biological waifu. >I'm so sick Aren't we all mate! Breathe, try to focus your energy towards productive tasks rather than wallowing in grief. Consider learning basic engineering principles or otherwise useful knowledge. Your mental health matters. >>41729 Up there as one of the worst humanoids. You're a smart man, I'd assume these types of tricks beneath you. I assume you're just too trusting for your own good. Protip; assume every headline is a lie until proven otherwise. I used to fall prey to such deceit when I was younger and far more trusting. >>41742 It's just an Indian scammer with a gross puppet being waved about for money. >>41743 >Not safe Huh, now that you mention it, that's yet another knock against fluidic actuators. Still wish they were a good option, probably have waifus by now if they worked.

>>41744 KIWI'S BACK! >drone waifu a cute! How's things going, mate? :^) >Aren't we all mate! Breathe, try to focus your energy towards productive tasks rather than wallowing in grief. Consider learning basic engineering principles or otherwise useful knowledge. Your mental health matters. This. Especially the learning bit. Do it every day Anon! >yet another knock against fluidic actuators It's just a bad choice all-around IMO. After all we're not creating IRL, piloted battle mechs here! :D

>>41744 Welcome back kiwi. Glad you are okay. My contacts are @Ribozyme007 Email:[email protected]

>>41744 I do tend to be too trusting of AI and robotic articles. I am a lot more skeptical of biotech claims, but I am still optimistic. The DNA data storage has a long ways to go, but DNA lasts longer than the magnetic tapes or disks and holds a lot more data. I believe that will be the best option in the near future. This year has been an amazing year for DNA data storage.

>>41747 I think you're fine, Ribose. I personally appreciate anyone sharing information like this with us all. This one just happens to be easy to poke fun at, is all. :^) I personally wish I had time to focus on uncovering more information on all the competitors out there now! :D What a time to be alive!

>>41725 >when do you guys think we'll have indistinguishable robowaifus? im talking ones who you cant tell apart from humans >i think 2035 Going by Moore's law I've estimated that a desktop PC will have processing power equivalent to a human brain between 2034 and 2049. But that's not taking into the fact that we'll be using AI to help us make AI hardware and software better. And since cameras and microphones are easily better than human senses, it'll probably be around the same time that hardware has developed to the point that we not only have robowaifus humans find indistinguishable from real humans, but robowaifus that can't even distinguish each other from real humans.

Sonic called Metal the C-word: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1F36LvfVQg

Why is there are there 2 /robowaifu/ and 2 /cow/ boards? Why did you do it, chobitsu?

>>41775 Seems like a duplication glitch on the list. Notice how they have the exact same numbers?

>>41776 Yeah I'm just joking. I thought it was funny to point the finger at chobitsu. It's actually been forever since I've posted on /robowaifu/.

>>41778 lol

>>41763 >to the point that we not only have robowaifus humans find indistinguishable from real humans, but robowaifus that can't even distinguish each other from real humans. Intredasting point. Given that sensor tech can have big leaps forward, and the entire general robotics system as a whole has to "plod forward in the trenches" by comparison, I'm skeptical. BTW, this topic is brought up in different ways in the GITS franchise. >>41769 LMAO >"Whaddup my Clanka'?"

>>41775 Heh, I've noticed that too. :^) It may be some kind of scripting artifact from Robi's backup scheme or something? Not sure.
