      By that definition, I would say they reached that milestone quite a while ago.

    But how often do men have sex with robots? I didn’t even know we were competing…

      There is no competition, but a shitty tabloid’s gotta make money somehow

      I suppose vibrators are just a very minimalistic robot. Recon women are in the lead of this competition.

    For people not from the UK: The Sun is a bad joke of a publication. I would recommend reading some of their articles if you’re in the mood for a good laugh…but I don’t really want them to get the clicks.

    Now for the sad part: this is one of the most widely circulated news publications in the UK and people seem to read it seriously.

      We’ve got plenty of Murdoch Press in the States. You don’t have to explain what a shitty right-wing tabloid is.

      If “Robot” includes vibrators of all variations this might already be true

      has she ever harmed a human being, or let a human being become harmed due to inaction?

      does she obey orders given by humans that do not lead to humans getting harmed?

      does she protect her own existence, unless it would cause harm to human beings?

      if you answered “yes” to all of the above, she seems to follows asimovs laws of robotics and thus might be a robot, if you answered “no” to any of the questions:

      do you really think companies would put safety meassures into products unless they are forced to?!

        Also the 3 laws were specifically designed to have lots of loopholes, otherwise the stories wouldn’t exist

        Well, she wouldn’t harm me, she takes orders from me :3, and she does protect her own existence.

        Just test whether she can harm someone by finding someone who will anger her to such an extent that she will hit them, proving she is no robot.

        Small edit because I realized it’s not exactly obvious:

        This is a reference to a certain chapter in “I, Robot”.

    Futurama imagined old phone booths would be re-purposed into suicide booths but apparently other services could be offered while on lunch break.

      Of course. In 2016 2025 seemed so far away that you would never be held accountable for saying such a ridiculous thing

        It’s the sun, they are a Murdoch tabloid famous for evading accountability for the shit they cause

        One of the many reasons Liverpool is a great city is their unanimous rejection of the paper following the Hillsborough disaster. Reading the sun is a more serious crime than murder there.
